Hayley Metcalfe

Founder

My forever goal behind illume hår is to collaborate in a safe space with other passionate stylists. The hair world has changed dramatically since I started out and i’m here for it. I’ve had the pleasure of learning from stylists around the world and I can’t wait to share our own “signature” looks within our community.

I love the science behind colour. Big transformations, lived in seamless blends are my absolute favourite. I can also style a pretty epic mullet. I will spend infinite amount of time to reach your hair goals. When it comes to styling… give me all the 60’s-90’s hairstyles. The bigger the better.

When i’m not at work, i’ve got my AirPods in listening to podcasts and relaxing with my dogs Maxwell& Bella. Otherwise I am just scrolling the socials looking for new techniques to experiment.

I am a chameleon behind the chair. My favourite services vary between power blondes and precision cutting. I take pride in my attention to detail and I won’t stop until it’s perfect. My signature style is an effortless undone look but I’m also a sucker for a good blowout. If you have any questions about styling your hair at home, don’t be scared to ask! We can work together to prefect your technique.

Can’t wait to meet you!

My goal as a stylist is to ensure every guest feels comfortable, confident & leaves with a smile.

I specialize in blonding and lived in colour services; as well as curly haircuts. Having curly hair myself, I’ve struggled with maintaining and learning how to embrace it. Come visit me and we can work together to enhance your natural texture and I can guide you on the proper haircare & tools to hydrate and form your curls.

Colour corrections. I get so excited when you first show me that inspo photo. I am optimistic on giving you exactly what you want, even if it seems unrealistic… I’m up for the task. I am very thorough and transparent during my consultations so we are always on the same page.

I’m always researching and trying out new products. If you are wanting to do a big colour change, you are going to need a new hair routine. Healthy hair is everything!
