LEANNE, SALON MANAGER & SENIOR STYLIST COLOURIST

From Best Young Stylist in Scotland to photo-shoots in the US, the UK and Australia, Leanne has done it all. Now, after 16 years experience, she’s all settled in at Miss Gertrude, where she is the salon manager – as well as an incredible stylist. She does manage to indulge her travelling feet on the odd occasion, most recently a motorbike trip across Vietnam. We’re jealous!

GIOVANNI, PRINCIPAL STYLIST

Although Giovanni was born in Melbourne, he has worked across Sydney, London and Manchester, for industry leaders including Edward Beale, Vidal Sassoon, Kusco-Murphy, Mien, Toni & Guy, Efbee and Terence Renati. For Giovanni, “hair is like a fabric”, giving him scope to create modern shapes on all kinds of textures. Giovanni concentrates solely on cutting, leaving colour to others. He indulges in his love of gadgets, gigs and his Vespa when he leaves the salon behind.

GAVIN, PRINCIPAL STYLIST

Three times a finalist in the British Hairdressing Awards mean Gavin has very capable hands. From salon to fashion shows and shoots, he’s been in the business for 22 years. Patient, understanding and all about the client, Gavin loves travel, family, friends, food and wine.

JENS, PRINCIPLE STYLIST COLOURIST

Jens has been working as a hairdresser for more than 25 years. He began his career in Germany, where he trained with Vidal Sassoon. Since then he has worked all over the world, honing his expertise. His particular talents lie in creating immaculate blonde highlights – but he’s also rather partial to “eating cake and drinking wine”.

KATE ARTHUR, SENIOR STYLIST AND COLOURIST

With ten years under her belt as a director of one of New Zealand’s most respected salons, our new import Kate has a beautiful fashion eye.

She’s worked on campaigns and shows for everyone from Karen Walker to Lonely Hearts, as well as teaching the art of hair in the US.

When she’s not in the salon, you’re most likely to find her in her garden, wine in hand, her cat Dudley by her side – musing over references for an upcoming editorial shoot – film, music, her idol Debbie Harry all play a part in her style!

ELLE, SENIOR STYLIST,COLOURIST AND MAKE-UP ARTIST

Elle has been hairdressing for five years, including time spent throughout Europe, where she was able to refine her own distinct style. She was nominated & awarded National Finalist for Aveda Colour Harmony in 2010. Expanding from this, Elle spends time doing editorial hair & makeup and freelance fashion & when she’s not busy with all of that… she manages to fit in a television show called ‘bright things.tv’ where she is a presenter. Wow!!

ERI, SENIOR STYLIST COLOURIST

Arriving in Melbourne by way of Osaka, Japan, Eri is all about the cut and colour. Twelve years of experience mean her sense of style is very well-honed. Think simplicity, structure and a love for natural looking, low-maintenance hair. Outside of the salon, Eri is a keen rock climber, snowboarder and runner.

KYLIE, STYLIST COLOURIST

Kylie is Miss Gertrude's youngest.  Vibrant and edgy is her thing.  When off the scissors, she's indulging in her love of tattooing, music, fashion and art.

ELYSE, JUNIOR STYLIST

Elyse is passionate about all aspects of high fashion, art and design.  Having studied fine art for the last 3 years Elyse now brings her creative eye and unique style to Miss Gertrude.  When not styling our guests to perfection, Elyse can be found on editorial photo shoots or helping out at fashion week.

CARMEN, APPRENTICE

With a flurry of home job tattoo's, an achingly cool haircut and with pug in hand, Carmen is a hipsters dream.  When she is not playing in her electro band Carmen can be found at Miss Gertrude giving ahh-mazing head massages.  A graphic designer turned hairdresser, with an incredible eye for colour and form, we expect great things from this one!

ELANORE, APPRENTICE

Elanore loves big hair – if a curly blow dry and bouncy waves are your thing, she’s your girl. Born in the Macedon Ranges, she lives, breathes and talks hair. A trained barista, she also makes a lovely coffee, so if you ask nicely…

MILO, APPRENTICE

Milo is Miss Gertrude's newest recruit injecting fresh style.  With her love for the arts and flair for fashion we think she makes a perfect addition to our team.

BELLE, RECEPTIONIST

London born Bristol raised, Belle is your warm welcome at Miss Gertrude. Our receptionist sidelines in television, creator, producer and director of the weekly show ‘bright things.tv’ on Channel 31.

KIM, RECEPTIONIST

Kim has been answering phones, smiling and talking to people his whole life. Which makes him the perfect welcome to Miss Gertrude. This well-travelled man is a music lover who’s moonlighted as a designer and organises a festival or two in his spare time.
