Love the hair you see in fashion shoots and backstage? Mia Doak, owner and director of The Mia Collective has had a hand in many of these. She’ll give you the kind of hair worth sharing on social media, and her own Instagram is brimming with the kind of cool-girl waves and dimensional colour you can expect. Doak is a beautiful soul and a triple threat; a master of cut, colour and style and her quaint little terrace salon in Teneriffe, beside the Brisbane River, is still something of secret but we suspect not for too long.

Salon owner Samantha Jones actually started out working in the airline industry, before studying nails and beauty and undertaking a hairdressing apprenticeship. Because of this untraditional pathway into her chosen career, Jones approach is a little different. Her salon (this one’s her fourth) values customer relationships and understands it’s not just a hair appointment. In return, many of her happy customers rave about her team’s outstanding service. Jones specialty is colour, so if you need a refresh, hit up her team next time you’re in North Lakes.
