Shaver Shop Taking the time to find the best tools for the job is a small way of feeling like you’re on top of things. We also know that if you look good, you feel better about yourself, so be sure to head into the Shaver Shop soon and meet their new Store Manager, Jodie Hawkins.

Kropz Hair and Body Works When you find a good hairdresser, it can be the start of a relationship that will last longer than your hair colour and see hair trends come and go. It’s this stability and service that Maria Dos Ramos has built her business, Kropz Hair and Body Works, on.

A commitment to quality has built a loyal customer base, spanning in age from 2 to 102.

Having owned the business for over 10 years, Maria has spent her whole career in hairdressing, meaning you couldn’t find a much more experienced hairdresser to tame your tresses – especially with the added complication of sun and sea in summer.

Maria and her team are highly skilled at colouring and colour correction, and her top tip this season is to not forget about sun protection for your hair.

“After spending money on getting that perfect colour, don’t forget to invest in professional products that protect from the harsh Australian summer and also extend the life of your colour,” said Maria.

With over 10 years retail expertise, Jodie and her team pride themselves on their excellent product knowledge and finding the perfect product for each customer.

And it’s not all razors and shavers – though they are the undisputed experts in that field too – Shaver Shop also carry the latest and greatest in hair products around.

Jodie’s pick of the bunch is the new Vidal Sassoon Curl Secret – a new patented technology styling tool that creates perfect curls, every time.

“It’s unbelievably fast, easy and creates fabulous curl after curl.

Hair goes in, curl comes out – it’s that simple, quick and easy.” said Jodie.
