ROKSTAR X KERASTASE – CARE

ROKSTAR PROVIDES THE ULTIMATE TRANSFORMATION

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1vf8nRg5Q8/?igshid=111et2akilr6y

Hands up who is after the maximum transformation with the minimal fuss and time. Us please! After the year we have had, we know so many of you are looking for a fresh look which will leave you feeling confident and fabulous The easiest way to do it? Extensions. ROKSTAR hair extensions are the fastest and easiest way to transform your appearance and get the hair of your dreams. Whether you want to step it up for a first date, your engagement party or wedding, bestie’s birthday or simply because it is Tuesday, trust the professional team at ROKSTAR to deliver you the best quality hair extensions in South Brisbane.

Here are the three best reasons to give extensions a try:

LENGTH- For many of us, those long mermaid locks are just unachievable. The time needed to get that length to come to fruition sometimes just doesn’t ever get there once you add the trims and lifestyle into the mix. Add extensions and you can subtly add length with well cut and coloured pieces which will perfectly blend with your natural hair length.

THICKNESS- Our favourite reason as, let’s face us, thin hair girls got the short stick when it comes to hair types! There is so much more you can do with thick locks and it opens up a whole world of styling. Suddenly curls become voluptuous and ponytails make a statement.

COLOUR- They can also be a fun way to play with different colour options and highlights without committing to a full colour overhaul.

At ROKSTAR, we offer two different types of permanent extensions: tapes and wefts. For those babes who aren’t keen on the maintenance that comes with long-term extensions, we also provide clip-ins and halo pieces. So, we’ve got something for all types of hair and lifestyle!

But the most important thing to remember when it comes to extensions is to keep it natural. This is where the hair extensions experts at Rokstar come in. You really need to trust that the hairdressers you use are trained technicians who understand how to work with all types of extensions. This goes for colour as well as you can spot a badly dyed extension a mile away! Here at ROKSTAR we create Brisbane’s best blondes, best balayage and best colours so we can ensure your extensions are a seamless match to your natural or created colour.

From the minute you set foot in our salon, you’ll feel at home knowing that our highly educated and award-winning team are ready to make you look like the best version of you. From the Japanese Shiatsu massage basins to the refreshing T2 infusions, give yourself the VIP treatment with ROKSTAR in Brisbane’s West End.

ROKSTAR 2021 RESOLUTIONS

No, not the ones where you make promises about what to eat, what to wear and how much to exercise – frankly we say do what makes you happy and enjoying every minute of 2021 without the side of guilt, especially after 2020! Our resolutions are about taking time for yourself, revelling in the little things and enjoying some much-needed pampering, because we know our Rokstars deserve it.

As we reflect on a challenging year here in Brisbane and think about how many of you have joined our beloved little community in our beautiful new salon space, we are excited to see what 2021 holds. As the best hair salon West End, we are proud to create the best cuts, colour and styles for all of you. Our award-winning hairdressers thought it might be fun to have a think about a few hair resolutions to consider to keep you looking and feeling amazing. Here, the best hairdressers Brisbane have four suggestions for the new year.

I will give myself the time I deserve

The best thing you can do for the health of your hair is to pop into the salon regularly and have a trim. It’s the easiest way for us to check the condition of your hair, pop in a treatment and just generally keep an eye on growth and how happy you are with your current style, so if you keep finding excuses of why you can’t fit in a salon visit, it’s time to give yourself some downtime.

I will keep life colourful

As colour experts we have created many more than we could ever count, and we know that it needs some upkeep. There are lots of things you can do to help prolong your Rokstar colour. First up, rest assured that we use only the best quality colours from L’Oreal Professionnel in the salon to give your colour the best head start, then we also recommend amazing products to help prolong it as long as possible as washing hair can strip colour incredibly quickly.

I will take care

In 2021, it’s time to take some time out for you. After the craziness that is the summer season, your hair can cop quite the beating thanks to all that styling and product build up. Not to mention the time spent in the sun, surf and sand outside of lockdowns! Saltwater is very drying, especially on coloured hair, so it’s important to try to nourish as much as possible. Incorporate a luxurious mask or treatment into your weekly regime and watch as your hair is transformed for the better.

I will be true to myself

Well this one isn’t exclusively about hair, but it can be! We love to create unique looks for all our clients. From creating the coolest street style inspired styles to tailoring something a little out of the ordinary, or even just giving a simple refresh, we love working with you all. And the most important thing for us is that you stay true to yourself and be a positive force for change. And if you are up for a new look in 2021? We are here for it!

So let us take this chance to wish you all a very Happy New Year and we cannot wait to see you in the salon in 2021.

ROKSTAR SAYS GOODBYE TO 2020

Well guys, what a year. To call it challenging would be an understatement. Here, the best salon in Brisbane takes stock of the year that was and reflects on the highs and lows that brought our team closer together. We kicked off the year with a bang with so many exciting things in the works, but we never could have anticipated the surprise that was COVID.

Suddenly our world was turned upside down and visiting the salon became a whole different ball game. We focused on keeping our clients and staff healthy and safe and working to adapt to our new reality.

It’s been incredibly difficult to watch so many people and businesses around us struggle and we wanted to make sure we were able to assure everyone that we were here for them.

It was so lovely to see so many of you keeping up your regular appointments, but we also knew that many people had been minimising time out and about. While things aren’t quite ‘back to normal’ yet, we can’t wait to welcome you all back to the salon for good!

Before COVID hit, however, we kicked off the year with our facelift and expansion into next door. Inspired by European elegance and minimalism, the new look was designed by Brodie with accents of concrete, marble and gold. The beautiful new space is luxe, luxe, luxe and we are also excited that we now have access to the toilets without having to walk the whole building!

We also celebrated so much competition activity this year. We had 2 x QLD State Finalists for L’Oreal Colour Trophy and then a win with a National Finalist for Evie. We then had 2 x AHFA Finalist positions for Brodie for QLD Hairdresser of the Year and Jess for Newcomer of the Year! Then we also made our mark on the AHIAs with our 8 x AHIA Finalist placings For State Salon Of The Year- QLD, Salon Team Of The Year, Salon Stylist Of The Year, In-Salon Training, Business Director of the Year and HOTSHOTS 2020 Finalists for Evie and Torrie. So proud and humbled to be recognised by the industry we love so much.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CHKY4pVAQcG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

We worked on so many gorgeous clients and saw our show-stopping creations splashed all over Instagram via our Insta beauties including @erinscottbeauty, @conagh_kat, @ella.golding, @msvaleriaramirez, @ellie_gonsalves and more.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CJJxXQSAJsU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

We had so much fun getting super creative and creating the best hair Brisbane for our brand spanking new Rokstar campaign shoot. Of course, we created our trademark natural blondes but we also highlighted our glowing brunette skills to show our S/S20/21 style. Think sexy beautiful hair created using our fave L’Oreal Professionnel products.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CH8zwmBgrVQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

We also welcomed Kerastase into the Rokstar family. You guys know we work with only the very best and we are proud to see these amazing products on the shelf alongside Shu Uemura, L’Oreal Professionnel, O&M and GHD.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CH978exgAGO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Brodie was also a busy bee as usual giving back to the industry with her coveted education skills. She was able to create a gorgeous 40s Hollywood inspired look which was featured on the cover of Instyle magazine as part of the latest L’Oreal Professionnel campaign. She was also on hand to create some inspiring looks for GHD and to help out wherever she could.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B-scGIxDD6u/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Finally, the most exciting news of all: a Rokstar baby! Yes, our amazing leader Brodie is soon to be a mum and we couldn’t be happier for her. Our motto this year has been #togetherwearebetter and in a year that has been so challenging our team have hit some incredible goals individually and as a salon and we couldn’t be prouder to be part of this team. As we head into 2021 and Brodie takes some much-deserved time with the new arrival, Rokstar is in the best hands and ready for whatever next year brings!

ROKSTAR SAYS THANKS!

Rokstar Says Thanks!

2020 has been quite the year. Here at the best salon Brisbane, the Rokstar team has pulled together like never before to ensure we have been able to deliver the ultimate service possible to each and every one of you.

What have you trusted us with this year?

Well, we have created some of the best blondes we have ever seen!

Plenty of creamy, hand-painted balayage, the finest, subtlest microlights, and the most stunning, show stopping platinums.

But we have also created some of the best cuts as well. We love how enthusiastic you all are about the latest trends and techniques that we are able to provide as Brisbane’s leading salon. And, of course, the best styles. We have crafted plenty of blow-dries and updos and have been so excited to see you head off to some of your most special life moments with fabulous hair.

But we also want to say thank you for your support. Without you, quite simply we wouldn’t be the best salon in West End and we certainly wouldn’t get to do what we love every day.

Here are a few incredible words shared by you guys that couldn’t make us more proud.

"Thanks so much Kim for your amazing service! From the moment I stepped into the salon, I felt welcome, and listened to. Kim offered perfect advice and was super friendly. My hair has never looked better and I am over the moon about my new style. Professional service throughout."
-Deborah-

"Cannot recommend Rokstar enough for making me look absolutely bangin’ with this huge change!
Went from almost shoulder length to pixie, and had a great time doing it."

Best hair I’ve ever had!
Couldn’t recommend them more!"
-Nadia -

"Thank you so much Evie for being so patient with me and looking after the condition of my hair as well as making sure I was achieving the colour I wanted.This has been finally a good experience at a hair salon after trying so many salons that I’ve always walked out of unhappy.

Looking forward to our next appointment."
-Deborah-

"Had a great experience at Rokstar today. I usually don’t enjoy going to get my hair cut because it never really seems to turn out the way I imagined it would.
Until today!
Upon arrival I was greeted immediately and offered a drink. Shortly after I met the lovely Daina who carefully listened to what I wanted for my haircut and patiently looked at the photos I showed her.
She did an awesome job and I went home with the exact haircut I had hoped for! I’ll definitely be back. "
-Charlotte-

"Both the knowledge and the skill of the beautiful team is outstanding. I always walk out feeling great about my hair and would never go anywhere else!
Service is also top-notch."
-Taylor-

"Lovely experience at Rokstar salon. Super professional staff that are easily able to provide what you ask for and provide some suggestions and alternatives."
-Erin-

"Phenomenal service and attention to detail. Rokstar has taken me from brown to blonde, long to short, and back again with my full trust and confidence.
BrodieLee and the team are always prompt, professional, and ahead of the game. Their awards and accolades are a true credit to the salon, culture, skill, and overall experience."
-Jessica-

ROKSTAR RATES EMMY’S TOP 3 STYLES

True to form for 2020, even the hair styling mecca of the Emmy’s received a very modern overhaul this year. Gone was the elaborate red carpet, decadent after parties and celeb filled selfies. Instead, we were invited into intimate house parties and introduced to socially distanced hosts. Not surprisingly the team at the best salon Brisbane were most interested in the hair, because even in these challenging COVID times, we knew there would be a few stars who wouldn’t disappoint.

Here our award-winning Rokstarhairdressers run down our top 3 styles of the night with a tip on the best products to recreate the looks.

Reese Witherspoon
https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYMEICA5wP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
First up, Reese Witherspoon. Reese kept is simple with her pared back yet glam look. The simple deep side part with the old Hollywood waves carefully tucked behind one ear was a classic red carpet go-to. The look minimises volume around the crown but lets the curls add a little weight and volume to balance the finish. Colour is key to let this look take centre stage as the simplicity leaves nowhere to hide so it would be the perfect opportunity to show off a best blonde created by Rokstar!
Our Rokstar product tip? L’Oreal Professionnel Infinium Hair Lacquer Spray

Yvonne Orgi
https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYJmeiF5wu/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Award for most impactful hair of the night goes to Yvonne for this stunningly powerful look. Not only does she look absolutely incredible with her classic buzz cut, but she chose to wear her hair as art and use it to make a statement. We love that she has had the Black Lives Matter fist symbol cut into the side as it is says so much with a simple design. The texture of her natural hair is also beautiful and you can tell she feels confident and glowing which we all love.
Our Rokstar product tip? Shue Uemura Ultimate Reset Extreme Restoration Duo Serum.

Zendaya
https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZf_6mMUeP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
https://www.instagram.com/p/CFaHbBZgKmx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
Best in show has to go to winner of the night- Zendaya. Not only did she break the record by being the youngest person to ever win Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series, she did it with impeccable style. As if she hadn’t done enough already, she also gave us not one, but two, perfect looks thatcouldn’t have been more different. First up, a sleek and chic chignon tucked neatly at the nape of the neck, with a deep side part to bring the drama. But the piece de resistance was the style in which she accepted her award. Best described as a bardot blow dry with a magically appearing fringe, this look was all volume and oomf and was the look of the night. The look was actually a roller set curl tied up into a high ponytailthen back-combed for volume and the adorable faux bangs effect.
Our Rokstar product tip? L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni.Art Pli Thermo-Modelling Spray

HOTSHOTS 2020 Finalist x 2

BRODIE THE BRAID BOSS

When people think of our boss babe Brodie, they immediately think of braids! Brodie has developed a name for herself as one of the most creative and talented in the industry when it comes to this beloved hair technique, and we love having the best stylist Brisbane right here at Rokstar. A huge fan of this style for its amazing versatility, she has passed on her incredible knowledge and skills to the whole team and we all love nothing more than to get creative in the chair. Perfect for everything from the latest festival to a relaxed brunch to a night out with girls, it really is a look that can work for everyone.

With so many braid options around, our award-winning West End hairdressers have broken down a few of the most popular, and also show you some of the coolest looks we have seen recently.

FRENCH BRAID

This one is a classic for a reason. It is the most traditional three-piece braid and what most people picture when they hear the term. There is still a lot of versatility here as it can simply run down the nape of the neck with a sleek polished finish, or it can be teased out a little and tucked and twisted up into a chignon. Any braid adds more dimension and interest to the hair as opposed to a plain chignon or ponytail, so you can have fun with it. Playing with different thicknesses and positions around the face can make the look unique.

DUTCH BRAID

Now the Dutch braid, on the other hand, is what you might consider the more elaborate French braid. Instead of winding the hair over itself, it is wound underneath the other strands. This simple change has a big impact, making the braid flow outward so it has a 3D effect, popping off the head a little bit. It ups the drama and makes it easier to see and more fun to play around with. Don’t let the similarity to a French braid fool you though- these can be tricky!

FISHTAIL BRAID

If you are looking for a playful, fun and unexpected style, the fishtail braid is for you. The most obvious effect is that unlike other braids, this version looks like a mirror reflection of itself and more like a double braid. This works so well with some messy texture by teasing it out and loosening it up. It’s casual and has a relaxed, effortless vibe. It can be a little fiddly to create, especially on very long hair, but it is worth it for the edgy finish.

CROWN BRAID

If you are looking for something super feminine but still sure to catch the eye, the crown braid is a way to add a little drama. Created from a traditional French braid, it is then twisted and wrapped up and over the top of the forehead, securing it with bobby pins along the way. The look is generally quite soft and with loose fame, framing pieces to leave it looking ethereal.

MILKMAID BRAID

Very similar to the crown braid, the milkmaid braid is instead pushed back a couple of inches to rest more toward the middle of the head. Think of it as a twist on a headband, which has been having a definite red carpet moment lately. Paired with a centre part it’s a young and whimsical look, with a more traditional heritage. Not so keen on the headband look? Try a reverse milkmaid and focus the attention at the nape of the neck for a more subtle style.

For all your braid needs, Brodie and the team have you covered. We love to play around with the above styles to create a different look every time. Come in and talk to us about our best styling options and allow us to work our magic and create bespoke braids just for you.
