Cushla Dowman

Senior Stylist

Cushla has been hairdressing for about 28 years and recently sold her hairdressing business of 10 yrs in February.

With Cushla's experience and skill, we feel very lucky to have her!  

Cushla served her apprenticeship through Colin Lovering in Johnsonville, after her apprenticeship she decided to accept a job at Underwraps in Lower Hutt.

5 years fast forward... she met her husband & became a stay at home mum of 2 children under 2 whilst hairdressing from home.

By the time her children were 2 & 3 years she decided to get back to employment, she was offered a job at Hairsay in Alicetown where she was for 5 years before buying into a hairdressing business. 

Cushla had her business for 10 years and now that her youngest is 18 and has left school... for her it was a sign that it was time for a change for her too. So she sold her business!

Cushla loves creating, styling - GHD curls or straighten, colouring & perms! 

Has a friendly and fun outlook making her easy to talk to and approachable in her work, you can feel relaxed discussing new options for your hair and knowing you're in great hands, and she loves to have a good laugh!

"A little bit about me..without boring you! haha.....Im married with 2 kids.. 18 & 19 years old. 

Since I sold my business I have been helping my husband in our family business and having a sabbatical.

I had left hairdressing to try something different,....until I saw the good old faithful newspaper ad from the lovely adele!   

So here I am mobile hairdressing!

Anyway enough about me, I'm looking forward to meeting you all and get to know all about you!!

Loving this job...see ya soon 

Love Cushla xox"

Adele Murray  

Senior Stylist

Adele has been hairdressing for 20 years including international experience and absolutely adores what she does.  

Adele trained and qualified in Wellington city, managed a salon for two years then was off - went overseas seeking to extend her skills and knowledge.  After 7 years away and successful travel conquests she returned to salons here but before long with her alternative outlook to life, she fell into mobile hairdressing and has never looked back. 

Adele suggests hairdressing is a part of her heart and soul.  People are surprised by her commitment, focus and joy when she is working, she does not see it as a job.

Adele loves that everyone she looks after is able to feel relaxed in telling her what they desire, feel comfortable and get what look you want in the comfort and privacy of your own space.

Adele has trained and worked with leading ranges, Schwarzkopf, Wella, & Loreal. Her unique qualities as a stylist include great 'natural intuition' which helps immensely with your consultation, she is known as the 'Hair Voyant' being able to see and feel what you want, Adele LOVES it when she is able to exercise this gift! and her ability and need for 'attention to detail'.  With a love for freedom and travel - these have all brought her to mobile hairdressing!

​

"Hi!

Great you looked outside of the norm!  After years of working in salons, I wanted a change and needed something that supported my intuitive nature & that had no set rules!

I was always different to my fellow stylists in salons, I am not one to follow fashions, which was never a problem as people who do just show me pics :-)  I love to create personalised styles & have a holistic approach to my work, & I enjoy the freedom of open conversation.

I love what I do and have finally found freedom in how I do it!

Thanks for visiting HC..  Enjoy!!! :-)
