About Me

Denielle Paterson

Hi everyone! I’m Denielle, I am 32 years old this year at the end of 2024. I have been in the hair industry for 15 years, gaining experience across a variety of salons from South Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast. I’ve worked in fast paced environments, boutique salons, and my favourite which was the last salon I worked in specialising in hair extensions. Now, I’m thrilled to offer a completely personalised, one on one experience from my private home studio. It’s just you and me, no apprentices, no chaotic rush, and no distractions. My full attention is on you, making sure you feel amazing in a calm, serene space. I’m especially passionate about all things colour, with a soft spot for blondes and micro-foiling.

For the past nine years, I’ve also worked in mining, operating 300 tonne dump trucks. A few years ago I was promoted to manage the site’s autonomous trucks. I’m out in the field ensuring they run smoothly, inspecting any issues and building roads for them using a GPS system. Even while in mining, I couldn’t resist doing hair on my weeks off, it never feels like work to me! It’s like catching up with a friend. Starting in January 2025, I’ll return to mining one week a month in a job share role, and work from my home studio 3-4 days a week on my days off.

On a more personal note, my husband and I got married in February 2023, and we welcomed our beautiful baby girl in December 2023. She’s the sweetest little thing and I feel so blessed to be her mum. She’s in care from Monday to Wednesday, which is when I’ll be focused on my lovely clients.

Here are a few fun facts about me:

  • I didn’t originally plan to be a hairdresser. In Year 10, I chose hairdressing as a TAFE subject to escape schoolwork. It wasn’t love at first sight, but I quickly realised I had a natural talent for it.

  • Up styling and bobby pins? Not my thing!

  • I have 14 tattoos

  • My favourite colour is green (obviously).

  • I have a big, fluffy groodle named Floyd who loves the dog park and receiving back scratches.

  • I love fishing and camping.

  • Steak is my favourite food.

  • I went to Coachella in 2016.

  • I colour my hair maybe once or twice a year.

  • I’m a total clean freak.

  • The only animal/insect that scares me is a grasshopper!

  • I have 7 siblings (3 half-siblings).

  • My feet grew during pregnancy and stayed a size 7 before that, I was a size 5-6!
