At the cutting edge

Blazzes Hair’s new salon is garnering great reviews.

“Glorious!” says a man getting a head massage.

This brings a big smile to hairdresser Kathy Cole’s face as it is exactly what she is aiming for: a caring, luxurious visit for each client.

Kathy’s new place is across from the Thirroul station, at 1/8 Railway Parade. It has a calm, modern and open feel, and wherever I turn my head I receive genuine smiles, except from the client in the shampoo chair who is blissfully enjoying his head massage with his eyes closed.

Kathy said: “I’ve been established in Thirroul Plaza for 32 years and because the plaza is being demolished eventually, we had to find somewhere else. So now we’ve moved here into our beautiful new salon and we have changed it up a bit.

“The clients are loving it. Everyone enjoys being here. We have plans for the future as well.

“Because I’ve been in the industry for so long it’s mainly about growing young hairdressers and giving them somewhere lovely to work, train them up and empower the people here.”

At the same time, Blazzes Hair is a salon where clients can relax.

“It’s more like an experience,” Kathy says. “It’s more about luxury. It is an adult space and everyone has their hair shampooed.”
