At the heart of Creative Hair is a mother-and-daughter partnership: owner and head stylist Joanne works alongside Monique, fostering a collaborative salon culture rooted in a genuine passion for hairdressing.

That background directly informs the salon’s educational ethos, as Joanne actively mentors each stylist to ensure high craftsmanship across all technical cuts, tones, and treatments.
The team at Creative Hair takes the view that a salon appointment should be more than a routine trim. Every service is approached as a bespoke process shaped around each client's hair goals, personal style, and everyday lifestyle.
The salon covers a broad range of services for women, men, and families. Whether clients are after a classic haircut, refreshed layers, or a dramatic restyle, the stylists focus on precision lines and natural movement. On the colour side, the salon specializes in creative colouring techniques, including multi-dimensional balayage tailored to client preferences, as well as seamless all-over color. Clients seeking smoother textures can also opt for long-lasting straightening treatments carried out with modern salon formulas.
Visiting Creative Hair is designed to be a comfortable, relaxing experience from the moment you step through the door. The team maintains an intimate setting where clients can comfortably chat through their hair goals without feeling rushed.
For those working during regular business hours, the salon accommodates busy routines by remaining open until 8:00 pm on Thursday evenings, in addition to Saturday morning appointments. Bookings can be made conveniently online via Fresha, as well as over the phone or by contacting the team directly.
