Becoming a mum is one of the most magical times in our lives and with it comes plenty of surprises. Our best hairdressers in Brisbane are experts in managing pre and post-pregnancy hair, not just cuts, styles and colours and here we guide you through a few key things to consider.

Pregnancy can change your hair quite dramatically- some women will experience incredible hair growth but for others, hair can become lank and oily and, in many cases, start thinning. To prevent this, the team at Rokstar can create a personalised hair treatment plan which may involve a switch-up in shampoo, conditioner and at-home hair treatments.

It is always important to let us know you are pregnant when you are considering colouring your hair so that we can use the right products and techniques. It’s smart to be concerned about increased sensitivity and so in most cases we recommend L’Oreal Professionnel INOA colour which is ammonia-free. If you are still feeling cautious consider opting for highlights or balayage instead, but our team will talk you through all the options.

Regular trims are highly recommended as hair during pregnancy can experience more dryness during pregnancy making split and broken ends much more prevalent and Rokstar provides the best haircuts in the West End. Also, try to minimise brushing hair when wet and overuse heat stylers as these can both encourage damage and hair loss.

If your hair is feeling a little dull and lacklustre, an intensive moisture boost can help it to regain or improve its natural texture so we can advise you on some of the most nourishing treatments like the Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense for Dry Hair.

Try to book an appointment just before your due date so we can make sure your hair is prepped and ready for the first few months. We have both salons open and are working to our safest maximum capacity but this means that spaces are still limited. If you have any questions or concerns at all, our team is here for you.

Always remember that our friendly team has you covered for all of your hair needs and we will use only the most trusted and gentle products and techniques as you prepare to welcome this new life into the world.

ROKSTAR BARBIES UNITE!

Are you as obsessed with the Barbie press tour as we are?! Margot Robbie has totally knocked it out of the park, and we are seeing pink- everywhere. From the designer-created Barbie outfits to the knock-out make-up, the best hairdressers in Brisbane at Rokstar have been pouring over every red carpet look. We are ready for Barbie-core in a big way!

One of our favourite looks? The Los Angeles world premiere where Margot wore a Schiaparelli haute couture gown modelled after the ‘Solo in the Spotlight’ Barbie from the 1960s. Perfection! But the best part – the hair of course. It is a high-glamour doll-like style reminiscent of the volume and structure of the time.

Here we run down how to achieve the look, something we can whip up for you in the salon!

To create the look, wash and prep hair with Kerastase Chroma Absolu shampoo and conditioner before towel drying. 

• Add a volumizing product like TECHNI.ART Full Volume Extra Mousse from the roots to cut down on blow-dry time, before adding heat protectant and blow drying for big volume.
• Once hair is dry, go in with Velcro rollers and set the hair in large sections. Once hair has cooled, pull it up in a ponytail, leaving 2 inches of hair down at her hairline.
• Set the ponytail in 2-inch curls, along with the section of hair at the hairline that was left out. Once set, gently brush them out and work the bangs and ponytail into the‘60s-esque shape. 
• Then, set it all in place with TECNI.ART Air Fix Hair Spray.

This ponytail gives the look of ease and effortlessness, but it is actually more complicated than it looks so if you can’t achieve it at home, time to give us a call and watch us work our magic!

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU ALL!

Here at the best salon West End, it is all about YOU! That’s right, our clients are forever our VIP’s and we wanted to say thank you so much for supporting us and making every day in the salon so much fun for all of us.

Whether you are looking for a total makeover or your regular cut, we love having you with us. As the best salon in Brisbane, we take so much pride in ensuring every visit exceeds the last and we are dedicated to being the very best hairdressers we can. 

Here is some amazing feedback that has left us with huge smiles;

The entire team at Rokstar are just a delight. So helpful, thoughtful, talented and they just know how to make your hair experience exactly what you want it to be. Torrie has been my stylist for some time now, and I’m so grateful to her for listening, responding to my requests (without eye rolls when they’re unrealistic!) and taking such good care of me and the entire team around her. Bravo Rokstar. It’s no wonder you’re award winners! Fiona

Evie is the rokstar! She worked with me to get the vision I had in my mind out of my hair…so patient and kind. What a fabulous experience, all the staff were so friendly from the moment I arrived. Best Valentine’s day ever. Victoria

I visit this salon every time I am in Brisbane. The staff are so incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I have thick, long, curly hair with grey sneaking in. I loved the consultation process beforehand. They really listen and discuss the different options. You aren’t just the 10 am appt there. You are a person! My stylist took time to listen to me and gave me the absolute best colour I have ever had, and my hair was actually softer and shinier even two weeks later. I was given advice on how to keep it beautiful though I swim every day. This salon uses only top-quality products. Ask for Jorgie! She is the best stylist I have ever had.  Maria

LOVE LOVE LOVE EVA! She’s literally sunshine in human form and has such amazing skill in styling, cutting and explaining the whole haircut/ hair care & styling process. She made me feel so calm and so welcomed. She went above and I’m always going to go back to her! Eva if you’re reading this you made my week and made me feel so beautiful thank you so so much xx DB

First time at the salon with Jorgie. She was so attentive and listened to all my wants and needs. I love that they’re down to do more than a basic cut and love experimenting to find the best for me. The attention to detail in service was incredible and Jorgie really took the time to find out what I was looking for. She was also so knowledgeable on Haircare and after following her tips, my hair has never felt better. She delivered a result that I love. Will definitely be coming back.  Jazmyn

I’ve met most of the team at Rokstar and they are all lovely ladies with a killer work ethic. Just by meeting the team you can tell Rokstar is a proud and professional salon that would go above and beyond for their clientele. Jack

EM RATA SEES RED

Copper hair has been having more than just a moment recently and we love that it is once again right at the forefront! Here at the best salon in the West End, Rokstar, our amazing team are colour experts, and we are masters at creating the perfect red shade for every skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle.

Contrary to what you may think, copper is actually one of the most flattering hair colours and can suit most skin tones. You might have seen the AW23 runways featuring lots of bright neon red hair, but that’s not what we are talking about for this timely trend. In real life, opting for copper is easier to maintain and carries a more grown-up appeal yet it still feels unique and expressive.

The latest to jump on board with their own take? Kerastase’s own poster girl Emily Ratajkowski has just entered her redhead era.

The model, author and podcast host revealed her red hair transformation on Instagram with the caption “Gone red”. Gone are her previously brunette tresses and she now has a warm touch of burnt copper. We love this look as it features brighter tones along the lengths of the hair while keeping the colour deeper on the roots, which makes for a low-maintenance way to embrace going red, especially for those with a darker natural colour.

As we finish up winter, this is also a stunning way to warm up and experience a red shade, with the opportunity to play around with lightning as we head towards summer. Going red for summer is a great way for brunettes to switch up their hair colour – the sunlight will also pick up the subtle, lighter tones in your hair – without committing to a full-on bleaching process.

The key with the best copper hair is to maximise shine so it doesn’t end up looking dull and faded, so you want to work with colour-protecting products that will bring it to life. 

Our best hairdressers in Brisbane, and Em Rata herself, recommend the Kerastase Chroma Absolu range to maximise your shade for as long as possible.
