About Us

Kia Thompson

Senior Stylist / Salon Owner

Hi, my name is Kia and I am the Owner/ founder of K. Studio hair collective. I have been hairdressing for over 21 years and managed hair salons for most of that period.

I had a vision to build a space to collaborate with other individual stylists who want to work for themselves independently with thier own hours but still have the benefit of a supportive team. And that’s why we are now the home of freelance stylists.

I specialise in al things colour and Extensions and just thrive off making others look and feel amazing!

I’m also a mumma outside work to my gorgeous twinnies.

Kat

Senior Stylist

With over 20 years of experience, I believe that hairdressing is more than just a profession—it’s a way to make people feel truly seen and confident. I take pride in creating personalized styles that reflect each client’s individuality, ensuring they leave the salon feeling their absolute best.

I’m currently welcoming new clients and offering 20% off your first visit when you mention this post. I look forward to meeting you and helping you discover a style that feels authentically you.

Terese

Hi I’m Terese!

I’ve just moved into the area and I’m excited to be working at K.Studio Collective!

I’ve been hairdressing for over 30 years (and ran my own salon for 20 of those), so you’re in safe hands. I’m all about easy, relaxed hair that looks amazing – no fuss, just great style.

I specialize in freehand cutting, dry cuts, and razor work to create that lived-in, effortless look. I also offer colouring services, tinting, foiling, toners and root melts, and not forgetting those beautiful lives in blondes!
