01. The studio

About the studio

Atelier is a calm, appointment-led salon for clients who want cut, colour and treatment advice that feels considered rather than rushed. Every colour service starts with hair history, lifestyle, skin tone and maintenance planning.

The studio works like a small creative room: three senior stylists, two chairs, shared formulas, documented aftercare notes and realistic timelines for blonding, grey blending and corrective colour.

Est. Paddington, Sydney

Hair history first

We ask about box colour, keratin, heat styling and medication changes before lightening.

Formula records

Colour notes are kept so glosses, roots and toners can be repeated or adjusted precisely.

Maintenance map

Clients leave with a realistic refresh window and home-care plan for their finish.

02. Services

Cut, colour and treatment categories

A premium salon page should help clients choose the right first appointment. These categories separate shape, colour and hair health so pricing and expectations feel clear before enquiry.

Shape and finish

Cut

Face-framing, movement, density control and blow-dry finishes designed around how clients actually style their hair at home.

Tone and dimension

Colour

Lived-in blondes, gloss brunettes, copper refreshes and grey blending with strand testing when previous colour history is unclear.

Repair and longevity

Treatment

Bond-building, smoothing and scalp services that protect colour work and make maintenance easier between salon visits.

Quoting

Final pricing is confirmed before colour begins and reflects length, density, history and finish time.

Timing

Short cuts start at 60 minutes. Major blonding and correction appointments are reserved as half or full days.

Aftercare

Every colour client leaves with a toner window, shampoo guidance and heat styling notes.

03. Colour correction

Correction consults before correction colour

Banding, box dye, over-toned blonde and grown-out highlights all need a plan before they need a brush. Atelier separates consultation from application when the hair history is complex.

01. Diagnose

We inspect porosity, existing pigment, previous lightening and any areas that may not safely lift.

02. Strand test

A small test section confirms lift potential and whether bond protection or staged colour is needed.

03. Plan

You receive a realistic session map, maintenance timing and quote before committing to the service.

04. Stylists

Senior stylists with clear specialties

Clients do not just book a chair; they book judgement. Each stylist has a defined lane, shared formulation notes and a handover process for repeatable results.
