Wag of the Week- Salt + Soul Studio
I'm sure every woman has at least one bad hair experience under their belt, or at least, one insanely overpriced experience at some stage. For me, I've absolutely had my fair share, so it's fair to say when I came to Perth I had serious trust issues... it takes a lot to find a good hairdresser.
I did a lot of meticulous research one morning a couple of years back, and I landed on Salt + Soul. The salon itself has a very beachy, chic vibe. It's very soft and feminine. I'll show you what I mean...
Not to mention, all the ladies (including the owner Rachael) are super bubbly and friendly, I always think this makes such a difference when you first enter a salon!
Did I mention you can even get 10% off your whole service using WAGSS10 when booking, you're welcome!
... and yes they are all absolutely gorgeous too! I mean, LOOK at the hair!! You can see why I had (and still have) 100% trust in them!
Now back to the owner and founder Rachael, let's see why it also started and also, I just love to ask people a mix of personal questions! let's get to know Rachael and the business better...
