Marin Vasey
Owner, colourist
Lightening is most of what I do, and most of the day is spent deciding how far your hair can go safely. I would rather book you twice and keep your hair than once and hand it back damaged.
- Taking new clients
- Not right now
- The times below are for people she already sees, plus the room she keeps back for corrections.
- Books out
- 5 to 6 weeks
The levels she works in
- 6Dark blonde
- 7Medium blonde
- 8Light blonde
- 9Very light blonde
- 10Lightest blonde
Outside this range you want a different chair, and we would rather say so than take the booking.
01/Her calendar
When she is actually free.
No phone call, no direct message, no waiting until she is between clients. Colour days run in long blocks because processing cannot be interleaved with cuts.
Her week
Tue
9:00 to 17:00
colour day
Wed
9:00 to 17:00
Thu
9:00 to 17:00
colour day
Fri
9:00 to 17:00
Sat
Not in
She books 5 to 6 weeks, and is not taking new clients right now. Her actual open times load on this page; if they have not, phone 250 555 0148 and someone will read them to you.
02/The proof
Straight off her chair.
Every one of these came off Marin’s chair. Shot at the window, unstyled the next morning where we could, because that is what it looks like when you live in it.
Balayage
Full head of foils
Grey blending
03/The boundary
What she does.
- Balayage
- Full and partial foil
- Colour correction
- Grey blending
What she does not.
- Extensions
- Perms
- Barbering and clipper work
Every one of these is a boundary she chose. Practising on your head is how people end up needing a correction, and a correction costs more than the service that caused it.

Colour appointments over two hours hold a chair for most of a day, so we ask for a $50 e-transfer to book one. It comes off your total. Move it or cancel with 48 hours notice and it moves with you.
