Colour to help you feel natural, to colour to get a reaction! Nothing fazes him.

Liis (like please but without the ‘p’ ) is originally from Estonia. A hairdresser for 12 years, she’s worked in London, Australia and now New Zealand. Creative colouring, upstyles and big transformations get her excited, but Liis also loves creating classical, ageless styles for clients.
