MAT

I have been in Hairdressing since 2011 and have always been absolutely obsessed with all things hair. I love a challenge and really thrive when I’m helping clients with full cut and colour transformations.
I love colour and creating individualised and unique cuts and styles. Photographic work is really fun and like creating unusual and avant-garde looks.

KAROLINE
Senior Stylist
My name is Karoline but most people call me Kaz. I've been hairdressing for almost 15 years and ever since I can remember I've always had a thing for hair. Either doing my friends or constantly changing my own.
I love making my clients feel beautiful and confident, as well as creating long lasting relationships.
There are so many things I love about hairdressing, but the one thing I'm renowned for is creating beautiful dimensional colours, blonding and high impact blonding as well as wedding styling and men’s fades.

CASSIE
Senior Stylist
I have been hairdressing for 18 years, but hair has been my passion since I was a little girl. I knew what I wanted to be from a young age.
I completed my apprenticeship at a local salon and have been working with MHF since 2020. I competed in competitions as an apprentice and represented Victoria in a National Competition for Hairdressing.
I strive to continually further my skills in advanced haircutting or colouring courses.
My main goal in every consultation is to really listen to a client and aim to achieve what they are asking, as well as giving my professional advice.
Recently I have taken on the role of Salon mentor and trainer to our apprentices and junior stylists to compliment their training. Watch out for our Friday specials with our Junior stylists where I will be fully overseeing all their work.

I began hairdressing on the quest to bring out people’s inner beauty. I love being creative and giving people that bounce in their step. I have been in the industry for 7 years. I’m a bit of an all rounder, while I love cutting and styling, I also enjoy creating colour transformations, colour correction, blonding and high impact blondes.
In my spare time i like to spend time with my beautiful family and friends and am always down for a good adventure . I grew as up in Lakes Entrance and I loveee the beach! I also enjoy dancing, you’ll often find me bopping along to tunes or singing in my car. Overall I believe everyone should have the chance to feel confident and good about themselves which plays a big role in why I chose this career!
