Serena is one of the newest BM team members. Her technical colour work is outstanding and her loyal clients cannot get enough of her passion and skill combined. Her results range from naturally, polished chic to fashion forward street styling.
We love having another Brit in the salon and feel very chuffed that we get to showcase her talents at BM Hair. Her finishing is picture perfect and she has an almost unhealthy obsession for detail.

Hailing from the beachy ‘Gong region Steph was never interested in barbie dolls but has always had a passion for looking fashion forward and loves nothing more than checking out the latest fashion and beauty trends (and a serious addiction to Uber eats!). She gets plenty of time to check out magazines and online on her looooong daily commute!
Her daily mantra is ‘I don’t dream about success I’m working for it’. And we are truly grateful for her hard work and dedication at the salon!
