More about Laura...
Master Stylist & Internal Educator
Originally from Birmingham, UK, Laura transitioned from a career in high school teaching to hairdressing in 2017, retraining as a barber and men’s hair specialist. After working in Brisbane’s barber scene, she joined Ella & Jade in 2020 and completed a formal apprenticeship 18 months later.
In 2023, Laura was ranked in the top six worldwide for Men’s Hairdresser of the Year at the Goldwell Global Creative Awards, earning a trip to Chicago. Now, she applies her teaching skills to educate the Ella & Jade team on men’s and short hair, while continuing to take on internal and external educational opportunities. Known as the ‘OG’ of Woolloongabba, Laura has been at the salon since opening, offering a familiar face to clients.
First and foremost for me, the hair industry will always be about people. I love building relationships with clients. With an insight into their lives it enables us to be creative in personalising their hair to fit their lifestyle and personality. I love the idea of creating a community through hair.
These days you can find me in salon as the go to for big cutting transformations and quirky trims such as shags, mullets, all things short and all things curly! Men’s hair is still something I’m still crazily passionate about having created a known space at Ella&Jade for guys with long and mid length hair specifically. Colour-wise I love dimensional bronde and blondes along with freehand painting for super natural, low maintenance lived in results that compliment the style of cutting I love to do!
With an ethos of ‘every human, every hair’ Ella&Jade continues to embrace us all as individual stylists. The hair salon in Woolloongabba has created an amazing platform for all of us stylists to attract the clientele that suits us. No two days are ever the same, one appointment I might be creating a long blonde balayage but the next client might be a shaggy mullet or a precision bob!
Everyone who knows me knows I'm active. Mostly I can be found running the trails around SE QLD and generally adventuring and working out. Not before coffee though. Coffee is life.
