Ash, Salon Manager/Creative Director
MOB Hair Salon Manager, Ash Collins, is an award winning, internationally-acclaimed hair stylist with experience spanning over more than two decades. Ash discovered her passion for hairdressing as a “tea and tidy” in her mother’s busy salon, a passion that is still so evident today.
For Ash, hairdressing is about much more than hair, she believes it’s a psychological makeover, “The new hair is just an expression on how the client is feeling on the inside,” she explains. And she says, seeing her clients leave the salon feeling better than when they arrived, is most satisfying.
Ash’s clients love that she’s always honest about what is possible and takes the time to explain the best approach to achieving a desired look. There’s always plenty of laughter too!
Ash's strength lay in her mentoring programs and ensuring our entire team are at the forefront and are the best in the industry.
Ash’s Top Tip: Never use any heat on your hair without heat protection. Heat damage is irreversible and leaves a “scar” on the hair, which will cause breakage

Our clients describe Phoebe as honest. Phoebe is real about what she can achieve and what products shouldn't be used.
"I wouldn't do anything to your hair I wouldn't do on my own"
