Charlie Crothers

Salon Owner / Creative Director

The Nest Hair Boutique is the product of a vision that began a little over a decade ago with my ambition to create a salon where stylists feel appreciated and clients are continuously wowed. Creating a unique and welcoming environment where everyone feels as though they couldn’t be happier anywhere else, is what The Nest is today.

I feel so fortunate to be able to do what I love and wish more people would follow their dreams. I love The Nest – it’s one of my favourite places to be. It’s where I laugh the most, make my clients laugh, and I get to be creative and make others feel beautiful. I love to be around people who are inspiring and also those who I can inspire. It seems to have a snowball effect – the more we can inspire others the more it inspires us.

Kiara

Salon Coordinator

Meet Kiara! Our beautiful English Lass that has the very best uplifting and bubbly infectious energy. The perfect mix of personality and professionalism! My favourite thing about Kiara is she makes you feel like you are way funnier than you are. And she’s always up for pretty much anything including helping our team and clients in anyway she can. You’ll meet Kiara at the front desk, over the phone and through email and occasionally at the basin! Side note* Kiara is actually a really talented MUA and stylist herself and has exceptional taste!

Marcia

Makeup Artist/Co-ordinator

We love this talented Portuguese Mumma! Every day is different for Marcia bouncing between making our clients feel their very best with her epic makeup skills to helping the team behind the basin, and then managing the front desk and all that entails! A blondie at heart, our team and clients love Marcia’s bubbly energy and great sense of humour.

If you’ve never had your makeup done professionally before Marcia is in Tuesday-Friday and Saturdays and she’s a gun at all faces of any age. Treat yourself ladies!

Molly

Senior Colourist/Stylist

Molly has been interested in hairdressing since she was a little girl and has had a strong passion for our industry for a few years. After seeing someone she knew had her hair done at The Nest and thought it looked amazing, she looked up the salon and loved how cool and unique it looked. She had to apply! Molly is always excited to learn new skills and loves coming to work in such a positive environment.

Mollys loves to put a smile on her clients faces and having them walk out feeling beautiful.

When she’s not at work Molly is usually at Dance or the beach 🙂

Annika

Our youngest asset, Annika came to us for just a school placement and after working with her for just a short time we knew we would love to have her as a trainee because she was just so sweet and beautifully mannered-good job Mum & Dad 😉 and the girls just loved her straight away! Fast forward a few years and Annie is now on the floor full time with the big kids!

Annika loved the way the salon looked and felt and especially how passionate and bubbly the team was. A perfect match! Annika has a great understanding of how important hair is for most women and is excited to grow her clientele and fan base 😉

Jameleh

Jamela has come on to join out ever growing group of proud hairdresser Mummas in 2023. The thing we love about Jamela the most is how passionate she is about ongoing education. Any chance this girl gets between clients you will see her helping out other team mates and picking their brain for questions and soaking up any industry tips like a sponge. Its really so inspiring to see and such a fabulous role model for our team to taking ownership to keep motivated. Jamella is currently only part time but Charlie is pressing her on the daily to come in more. Such a gorgeous energy to be around and we love the genuine care she brings to our clients and team.

Millie never falls short from making the team laugh! Her stories and impersonations are the actual best.

Millie fit in so seamlessly from the beginning and its been so cool to watch her blossom into the talented hairdresser that she is becoming. We love her sweetheart vibes and so do her clients!

Incase you didn’t know, Millies secret weapon is her killer twisty blow-dry!
