And The Award Goes To...

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 23:36:07 GMT

In case you missed it, the 90th Annual Academy Awards red carpet was just as epic as the ceremony. With laced braids, regal headdresses, and metallic hair tattoos - Celebrities did not hold back.

Our very own Margot Robbie even got a haircut! And with Time magazine naming her as one of the 100 most influential people in the world and Forbes featuring her in their 30 under 30 list we are seriously going to start paying more attention to this Queenslander.

This year's style dial was turned up to maximum capacity, with Black Panther's fearless warrior Danai Gurira arriving in a stylish shaved hairdo that was accented with temporary white hair dye. Whilst her Black Panther co-star Lupita Nyong'o serving a different sort of hair excitement with a golden hair ornament.

But what's the Oscars without Jane Fonda? The Barbarella star did not disappoint this year with an amazingly youthful appearance for her congratulatory 80 years! Can we just say wow! The two times Academy Award winner dazzled in a white gown by designer Olivier Rousteing with pearl detail, which showed her amazing physique in the skin-tight dress, with elegant sleeves and dramatic shoulder pads.

Jennifer Lawrence is always guaranteed to turn heads on the red carpet thanks to her relaxed yet glam style. And she didn't disappoint on Sunday night. Her beach inspired waves brought a touch of chilled Melbourne style to the entertainment world's biggest event. If you'd like to try recreating her look at home then you're in luck. Here's how:

Step 1 : Prep the hair by spritzing Evo Mr Fantastic spray through the roots and mid-lengths, then mist lightly through the ends for extra volume. Blow dry roughly to remove the dampness.

Step 3 : Divide the hair into horizontal sections, starting at the back. Then curl each section using a straightening iron. Alternate between traditonal curls and flat wave curls (where the hair is twisted into an 'S' shape and held between the tongs). Repeat all over.

Step 4 : Massage the roots to soften the texture whilst maintaining definition. Use a small paddle brush to soften the texture at the ends.

Why We Love K18: The Hair Repair Revolution That’s Changing the Industry

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 04:19:11 GMT

So, What Makes K18 Different?

If you’ve spent any time scrolling through social media or chatting with your hairstylist, you’ve probably heard about K18. But unlike many viral beauty products that come and go, K18 has earned its reputation through genuine innovation and real results.

At Spencer & Co, we’re passionate about creating beautiful hair that isn’t just healthy on the surface—it needs to be strong from the inside out. That’s exactly why K18 has become one of our favourite treatments for clients with damaged, colour-treated or chemically processed hair.

Traditional conditioning treatments work by coating the outside of the hair, making it feel smoother and shinier until your next few washes. K18 takes a completely different approach.

Using patented K18PEPTIDE™ biotechnology, it works deep within the hair fibre to reconnect damaged keratin structures that have been compromised through bleaching, colouring, heat styling and chemical services. Rather than simply masking damage, it’s designed to help restore the hair’s internal strength and elasticity.

Who Is K18 For?

K18 is ideal if your hair has experienced:

Blonde bleaching or heavy lightening
Frequent colouring
Heat styling with straighteners or curling irons
Chemical straightening or perming
Hair extensions combined with colour services
Dryness, breakage or excessive shedding caused by damaged hair

Whether your hair is fine, thick, curly, straight or textured, healthy hair starts with a strong internal structure—and that’s what K18 is designed to support.

Why We Use K18 During Salon Services

Hair colouring doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the health of your hair.

When we incorporate K18 into your colour service, we’re able to help support the hair during and after chemical processing. Clients often notice hair that feels:

Softer
Stronger
More elastic
Smoother
Easier to style
Less prone to breakage

For many clients, this means they can continue enjoying beautiful blondes and dimensional colour while maintaining healthier-looking hair over time.

The K18 Home Care Difference

One of the biggest reasons clients love K18 is how simple it is.

The iconic Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask works in just four minutes after shampooing. There’s no need to rinse it out, and because it’s highly concentrated, only a small amount is needed. K18 recommends using it on clean, towel-dried hair without conditioner first, allowing four minutes before applying styling products.

Consistency is the key. The more consistently damaged hair is supported, the better the long-term condition can become.

Healthy Hair Is Always Beautiful Hair

At Spencer & Co, we believe luxury hair isn’t just about the perfect colour or cut—it’s about creating hair that feels incredible every day.

Our approach combines professional colour expertise with advanced hair repair, personalised home care and honest advice. Every recommendation we make is focused on achieving beautiful results without compromising the integrity of your hair.

If you’ve been struggling with dry, damaged or over-processed hair, ask our team whether a K18 treatment is right for you. We’d love to help you experience the difference healthy hair can make.

Nioxin: The Professional Solution for Thicker, Healthier-Looking Hair

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 04:15:24 GMT

What is Nioxin?

If you’ve noticed your hair becoming finer, thinner, or lacking the fullness it once had, you’re certainly not alone. Hair thinning affects both men and women and can be influenced by genetics, stress, hormonal changes, nutrition, ageing, illness, or even everyday styling habits.

At Spencer & Co, we believe beautiful hair starts with a healthy scalp. That’s why we’re proud to offer Nioxin—a professional hair care system designed to create the ideal environment for stronger, fuller-looking hair.

Nioxin is one of the world’s leading professional scalp and hair-thickening brands. Rather than simply making hair feel softer or shinier, Nioxin focuses on improving scalp health while strengthening each strand to maximise the appearance of density and volume.

Think of it this way: healthy hair grows from a healthy scalp. Just as quality soil helps a garden thrive, a clean, balanced scalp gives your hair the best opportunity to flourish.

Who is Nioxin For?

Nioxin is ideal for anyone experiencing:

Noticeable hair thinning
Fine or limp hair
Increased hair shedding
Hair that has become weaker after stress or illness
Hormonal hair changes
Age-related thinning
Hair that lacks body and fullness

Whether you’re just beginning to notice subtle thinning or you’ve been managing it for years, early intervention can make a significant difference.

How Does Nioxin Work?

Unlike ordinary shampoos, Nioxin is a complete scalp care system that works in three key ways:

Cleanses the Scalp

The cleansing shampoo removes excess oil, product build-up, and environmental impurities that can affect scalp health.

Optimises the Scalp Environment

Conditioners and scalp treatments help nourish and refresh the scalp while supporting the hair follicles.

Strengthens Existing Hair

Nioxin helps increase the diameter of individual hair strands, making hair appear visibly thicker, fuller, and healthier.

The result is hair that feels stronger, looks denser, and has noticeably more volume.

A Personalised System

If you’re worried about thinning hair or want to improve your scalp health, book a consultation with the team at Spencer & Co.

Together, we’ll assess your hair, identify potential contributing factors, and recommend a personalised plan using professional solutions like Nioxin to help you achieve fuller, healthier-looking hair with confidence.

Hair Wellness Starts From Within

One of the reasons professionals love Nioxin is that it isn’t a one-size-fits-all product.

Different systems are designed for different hair types and stages of thinning, including:

Natural fine hair
Coloured hair
Chemically treated hair
Advanced thinning
Progressive hair loss

At Spencer & Co, we’ll assess your hair, scalp, lifestyle, and goals before recommending the most suitable Nioxin system for you.

Ready to Start Your Hair Health Journey?

While professional products play an important role, healthy hair is influenced by much more than what you use in the shower.

Stress management, nutrition, sleep quality, hormones, iron levels, thyroid health, and overall wellbeing can all impact hair growth and density.

Our approach goes beyond treating the symptoms. We take the time to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and can guide you towards the right combination of professional hair care, scalp treatments, and lifestyle support.

When Will I See Results?

Consistency is key.

Many clients notice improvements in scalp comfort, freshness, and hair texture within the first few weeks.

Visible improvements in fullness and density generally develop over several months as healthier hair continues its natural growth cycle.

Because hair grows gradually, patience and consistency are essential for achieving the best long-term outcome.

Why Choose Spencer & Co?

We’re passionate about helping our clients achieve hair that’s not only beautiful but genuinely healthy.

Our experienced stylists combine professional product knowledge with personalised consultations to create a plan tailored specifically to you. Whether you’re concerned about early thinning, postpartum changes, stress-related shedding, or simply want stronger, healthier hair, we’re here to help.

Spring/Summer 2026–27 Hair Trends: The Looks Everyone Will Be Asking For

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 04:09:23 GMT

Lived-In Luxury Colour

As we move into Spring and Summer 2026–27, one thing is clear: healthy, effortless hair is taking centre stage. This season isn’t about dramatic transformations or high-maintenance styles—it’s about creating beautiful hair that looks expensive, feels healthy, and grows out seamlessly.

At Spencer & Co, we’re always watching international fashion weeks, celebrity stylists and global colour trends so our clients are ahead of the curve, not chasing it. Here’s what we’ll be seeing more of this season.

The era of harsh regrowth lines and solid block colour is fading. Instead, expect beautifully blended blondes, dimensional brunettes and soft ribbons of light that mimic naturally sun-kissed hair.

Think:

Expensive-looking blondes with softer root shadows
Rich chocolate brunettes with glossy dimension
Warm caramel and honey highlights
Seamless balayage that grows out beautifully

The goal? Hair that still looks incredible months after your appointment.

Healthy Hair Is the Ultimate Trend

Beautiful colour starts with healthy hair.

Clients are becoming far more educated about hair health, with treatments now considered just as important as colouring itself. Strong, hydrated hair creates better shine, longer-lasting colour and a more luxurious finish.

Professional repair treatments, bond builders and at-home care routines are becoming non-negotiable for anyone wanting premium results. At Spencer & Co we incorporate hair health into every colour service because healthy hair will always be fashionable.

Soft Movement & Effortless Texture

Precision cuts are giving way to softer, more wearable shapes.

Expect to see:

Long layers with natural movement
Face-framing shapes
Relaxed bobs
Modern curtain and wispy fringes
Hair that moves beautifully without hours of styling

The new luxury is hair that looks incredible with minimal effort. Industry forecasts also point toward softer cuts, lived-in texture and low-maintenance styling becoming even more dominant through 2026.

Glossy Brunettes Continue to Shine

Blonde will always have its place, but brunettes are having a major moment.

Rich espresso tones, chocolate glosses and warm cinnamon brunettes are becoming some of the most requested colours worldwide. Multi-dimensional brunettes reflect light beautifully and create an incredibly expensive finish while requiring less maintenance than traditional blonde services. Recent trend forecasts highlight glossy chocolate, spiced and dimensional brunette shades as standout looks for the season.

Hair Extensions for Volume, Not Just Length

Extensions have evolved. Today’s clients aren’t necessarily looking for dramatically longer hair—they’re looking for fullness, density and healthier-looking ends.

Premium extensions can:

Add natural volume
Restore thickness after hair loss
Create fuller ponytails
Add subtle length
Enhance colour without additional chemical processing

When professionally matched, extensions should be virtually undetectable and simply make your own hair look better.

Personalised Hair Is the Biggest Trend of All

Perhaps the biggest trend this season isn’t one specific colour or haircut—it’s personalisation.

The best hair isn’t copied from social media. It’s tailored to your face shape, skin tone, lifestyle and maintenance preferences.

At Spencer & Co, every consultation is designed around creating hair that works specifically for you. Whether you’re maintaining beautiful blonde, embracing rich brunette tones, restoring thinning hair, or simply wanting healthier, shinier hair, we’ll create a plan that’s realistic, wearable and completely personalised.

Ready for Your Spring Refresh?

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your colour, invest in your hair’s health and create a look that will carry you through the warmer months.

Book your consultation with the Spencer & Co team and discover how beautiful, healthy hair can completely transform your confidence.
