Opened Lumière in 2015. Twenty years behind the chair and still the calmest person in the room on a fully-booked Saturday.
The people with the scissors.
You book with a person here, not a queue. The stylist who greets you at the door is the one who washes, cuts and finishes your hair, and remembers it next time.
Two chairs taking new clients
The studio
Showing 6 stylists.
Runs the colour room. Lives for a tricky colour correction and can talk brass out of any blonde.
Balayage specialist with a light hand and a painter's eye. Booked out weeks ahead for a reason.
Precision cutter. Curly hair, sharp bobs and the kind of fringe that actually grows out well.
Leads our bridal work. Unflappable on a wedding morning and never, ever runs late.
Our barber. Skin fades, beard shapes and the classic scissor cut, all done properly.
In their words
From the chair.
Ayesha Daniels
Founder & Senior Stylist
“The best haircut is the one you can actually recreate at home on a Tuesday. Anything else is just a nice photo.”
Ayesha opened Lumière after twenty years in bigger salons. She still takes new clients, still does most first consultations, and still knows every regular's coffee order.
Thabo Nkosi
Colour Director
“Good colour isn't about going as light as possible. It's about going as light as your hair can handle and still feel like hair.”
Thabo runs the colour room and mentors the rest of the team. Ten years of balayage, correction and the sort of blonde that doesn't fall apart by week three.
Life here
Busy, but never rushed.

We're growing, gently.
If you love the craft, take pride in the small stuff and would rather do fewer heads well than more heads fast, we'd like to meet you.
