an introduction
Anne has been cutting and colouring hair for more than two decades, and now specialises in French Grey Blending.
Years of courses sit behind the work — most recently a series of overseas courses dedicated to the technique that has come to define her practice. The chair is quieter than it used to be. The colour lasts longer than it used to.
She believes most colour problems are actually pacing problems — that hair is asked to do too much, too often. Her work is built on slowing the conversation down.
The studio in Eastbourne is small and deliberately so: one chair, one mirror, one client at a time. Music low enough to hear yourself think. A short list of treatments, all done very well.
I don't rush colour. Three hours quietly is worth more than ninety minutes well-meant.
The hair will tell you what it needs if you stop talking long enough to feel its weight.
No two heads of hair are the same. No two appointments end with the same bowl.
the studio
Tucked behind the awning on Muritai Road — one chair, one mirror, a corner to settle into while the colour does its quiet work.

I'm not interested in covering anything up. I want to make the hair you actually have look like the most considered version of itself.
