Hair Services
Every appointment begins with a proper chat about your hair history, what you're after, and what'll actually work for you. If you'd like a quote before we start, just ask. I'll always be upfront about what's achievable and what it'll cost before we begin.
I use certified organic, low-tox colour and go bleach-free wherever possible. All products are eco-friendly, vegan, and Australian-owned. Great results should never come at a cost to your hair or the planet.
Absolutely! In fact, it's one of my favourite combinations! You can book hair and makeup together for weddings, events, or any big occasion. Just select both services when booking online or reach out and I'll help you put it together.
Bridal & Weddings
As early as possible. Wedding dates fill up quickly, especially during peak season (October to April). I'd recommend reaching out at least 6–12 months ahead to secure your date.
Yes, I offer on-location services for bridal parties of 4 or more. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance from Figtree. Get in touch for a personalised quote.
A preview is a full run-through of your wedding day hair and/or makeup. I always recommend one. It's the best way to nail your look before the big day so there are no surprises. It also gives us a chance to make tweaks and ensure you feel completely confident.
Yes! I regularly work with bridal parties across the Illawarra and beyond. I'll work with you on a timeline to make sure everyone is ready calmly and on schedule. Request a quote here.
Location & Parking
Orchid Belle Beauty is a private home studio located in Figtree, NSW 2525 in the Illawarra region, south of Wollongong. The exact address is provided when you book your appointment.
Free street parking is available at the studio. The address will be provided in your booking confirmation the day before your appointment.
Yes! I have clients who travel from Western Sydney, Sydney's south, and beyond. The studio is easily accessible from the M1 motorway, making it a comfortable drive.
Products Used
Yes, every product used at Orchid Belle Beauty is vegan, cruelty-free, and eco-friendly. I only use Australian-owned brands that align with my commitment to sustainability and healthy hair.
Absolutely. I use muk Hybrid Cream Hair Colour — an Australian-owned, 100% vegan and PETA-approved range that is free from ammonia, PPD, parabens and MEA. PPD is a chemical commonly found in hair colour that can trigger scalp sensitivity and allergic reactions, so its absence makes muk a much gentler option. The formula uses as little as 0.4% ammonia which is among the lowest levels of any professional colour on the market, and is enriched with avocado oil and baobab oil to nourish and protect the hair and scalp throughout the colouring process. Please mention any sensitivities when you book so I can plan accordingly.
Yes! Selected products are available through the Orchid Belle Beauty shop. I'll always recommend the right products for your hair type at the end of your appointment.
