Hair on the move with H’diva

By Mara Pattison-Sowden
H’DIVA Boutique Hair and Beauty has been operating in Healesville for three years and is now relocating to Mount Evelyn to expand its unique approach to hairdressing.
H’diva introduces the latest fashion trends direct from the catwalk to a diverse clientele. And from 12 April the team will call Wray Crescent home.
The salon is a unique environment providing a wide range of specialty services – all performed with the highest level of creativity, precision and experience.
Owner Adriana Gibson has more than 24 years in the industry. Elite European professionals trained her, and she then worked alongside them to guide many upmarket salons in Australia.
Adriana has more than eight years under her belt in many technical roles in the hairdressing/fashion world. She has managed large teams and trained salons in the competitive world of hairdressing.
She has won many awards over the years and her experience has given her the ability to communicate with her clients, then deliver a style to suit them.
“Each client is unique to me so I approach each person with a clear vision and give them something customised to their needs and wants,” she said.
H’diva staff pride themselves on the personal attention they give to each client.
“H’diva is no production line, but customised to individual clients’ needs,” Adriana said.
“We deliver quality work at affordable prices.”
“I take pride in my work, otherwise I may as well not do it at all,” she said.
“We love what we do and it shows.”
Constant training to keep up with current fashion trends is compulsory for H’diva Boutique staff.
“All of H’diva’s staff are carefully trained to maintain that individual approach and to strive in their own professional growth as a stylist,” Adriana said.
H’diva uses elite products to guarantee results and satisfaction – and they use ammonia-free colours and chemical free products.
“Which is important to our health and the environment,” she said.
“Our salon environment is fume-free, which I’m proud of. We also educate our clients in the products being used and that are available.”
Beautician Kim Thomas also uses fume-free products and will offer manicures, pedicures, hand and foot massages, apply acrylic and gel nails, including gel nail polish, nail art and other seasonal services.
H’diva Boutique is located at 3/17 Wray Crescent, Mount Evelyn and is featuring 15 per cent off all services as an opening special. The beautifully appointed contemporary salon has been carefully designed to cater for comfort and education.
It’s open 9am to 5pm Tuesdays, 9am to 8pm Wednesday and Thursday, 9am to 6pm Fridays, 8am to 4pm Saturdays and Sundays by appointment. Call 9736 3100.
