A home coming visit to Newcastle, after practicing in Sydney, prompted my return to this ever growing city. Keeping in touch with the shifting design trends, I knew I could provide any hospitality, retail or residential space in the Newcastle area a fresh new outlook.

Meeting Michael through a mutual friend, getting to know his vibrant personality, I knew I could offer him a salon that not only satisfied the needs of the contemporary hair styling industry, but also create a visual impact on Darby Street for him.
