I used to dread salon appointments. The typical “fancy” city salon experience meant five-hour visits, juggling stylists with multiple clients at once, and getting slapped with a massive bill. I now drive over 60km just to see Leanne—and even with the travel, the experience (and the price) it's still worth it compared to what I'd get in a busy commercial salon. I’m getting my hair done, yes, but it always feels like I’m catching up with a friend. And at this point, that’s actually what it is! My colour is natural, blended, and low-maintenance. Even if months go by between appointments, my colour grows out so seamlessly, no one would guess how long it’s been. And it’s not just about the hair. I don’t think it’s a joke anymore when I say I come for the cut and colour, and stay for the free therapy session! I bring water for the appointment and the drive home, because once the catching up starts, the conversation rarely stops.

I've never really enjoyed going to traditional hair salons. I’ve always preferred the quiet, comfortable atmosphere of a home salon. I was searching for a new stylist because my hair just wasn’t quite right—I wanted that boost of confidence you’re supposed to feel after a great appointment.
That’s when I found Leanne. Now, I drive over two hours just to see her because she’s truly the best in the business—and I actually look forward to getting my hair done! BlondeIvory may be based in a home, but it feels just like a professional salon—calm, warm, and impeccably clean. It’s always quiet when I’m there, and the little touches like snacks and drinks make it such a relaxing experience (especially for us foodies!). She also carries a wide range of professional products, which I haven’t seen at other home salons. Leanne is the kind of stylist you can completely trust. I can tell her to do whatever she thinks is best, and it always turns out stunning. She’s constantly investing in her education, so I know she’s up to date with the latest trends and techniques. When I do bring in an inspo photo or idea, she nails it every single time. My hair finally suits me. It looks better, feels healthier, and it’s growing like crazy! The color and cut are beautifully blended—no harsh lines—and thanks to the lived-in look she’s created, I can go longer between appointments. Leanne has a warm, sweet personality that makes you feel instantly comfortable. She brings out the best in you, and you’ll leave feeling amazing!

I was looking for a new stylist—someone closer to home, experienced with blondes, and who really understands tone and brightness. Finding Leanne was such a lucky surprise. Her home salon is a hidden gem. It’s elegant, welcoming, and filled with thoughtful touches that make the whole experience feel both luxurious and personal. On top of that, Leanne is warm, kind, and always takes the time to listen. As someone who works full-time and isn’t a natural blonde, upkeep can be a lot—but she makes it easy. My root coverage and tone are always spot-on. The price point is amazing, the location is convenient, and I get to keep up my little habits without sacrificing quality. It’s everything I was looking for—and more.

When my old stylist moved, I bounced around trying a few other but I never really felt comfortable or fully happy with how my hair turned out. Then I found Leanne. It’s been seven (maybe eight!) years now, and every single cut and colour has flattered me and felt like me. I’ve had some cringe-worthy hair moments in the past, but never with Leanne. She just gets it. She stays on top of trends, knows every technique I’ve asked about, and still gives me the classic style I love. She’s kind, patient, easy to talk to, and genuinely wants to help me keep my hair healthy. I always leave feeling good—and I get compliments on my hair all the time. It brightens my face, makes me feel a little younger, and honestly… it’s such a relief to have this part of my life feel easy. I’m just so grateful I found her!

What drew me in initially was the affordability and the convenience of finding someone close to home—but what’s kept me coming back is everything else. Leanne’s home salon is beautiful. The ambiance, the decor, the vibe—it’s clear how much care she’s put into creating a space that feels both professional and personal. I also love supporting home-based businesses, especially ones ran by women. Leanne is incredibly knowledgeable and always up to date with the latest techniques, trends, and colours. Every style and colour I’ve had with her, I’ve absolutely loved. She’s awesome!

For years, I searched for a stylist who could give me the blonde hair I dreamed of – without the constant breakage or brassy tones that always seemed to follow. My hair is naturally dark and notoriously difficult to lighten, and every appointment felt like a gamble. Then I met Leanne. From the moment I sat in her chair, I knew she was different. She didn’t just see another client; she saw me. She listened, asked the right questions, and explained what was realistic for my hair – and what wasn’t. Even when asked for the impossible, she found ways to get closer to my vision without compromising the health of my hair. Leanne is the kind of stylist who goes above and beyond. She’s professional, honest, and incredibly skilled. Somehow, she manages to keep my hair blonde with little to no breakage – something I’d never experienced before. I feel so fortunate to have found someone who not only understands my hair but genuinely cares about the results. Leanne is more than just a stylist – she’s a true artist, and I’m endlessly grateful to have her on my side.
