About rella

Since Rella was a little girl she always found her true passion in all things hair and makeup. With this, it was no wonder she became the successful Hairdresser & Makeup Artist that she is today.

Rella has 15 years experience in her industry, having started hairdressing in 2008, holding a Certificate 3 in Hairdressing Services and having learnt many specialised styling, cutting and colouring forms from many world known industry professionals.

During her earlier days of her hairdressing career she was given the opportunity to take her hairdressing skills to Paris, France to represent Australia as the finalist for the category of Global New Talent, Goldwell Color Zoom Challenge 2010.

Whether it be a change that you're craving from long to lob, from lob to bob, fun new bangs, gorgeous new layers or something in between. She loves nothing more than giving her clients the change they've been craving and lifting them up with a fresh colour and cut. Foiling is her jam, specialising in lived in easy maintenance looks. When she's not having a laugh with her clients, you'll find her chasing the sun, on adventures with her daughter and husband.

Being among many socialites, celebrities, musicians and fellow industry professionals, she was exposed to the backstage glam scene of making people feel fabulous.

Makeup and creativity was always a love of Rella’s, kick-starting her makeup studies in 2013 with numerous specialised courses and obtaining her Diploma of Specialist Makeup Services and Certificate in Airbrush Makeup Artistry. Rella also went on to get her Certificate in Wedding Planning, as she has such a passion for the wedding industry and wanted to share her knowledge and creative ideas with the newly engaged and assist in creating their dream wedding.

From numerous photo-shoots, business and actress headshots, Weddings, fashion campaigns, Australian Music video clips, SFX for Musical Theatre productions, Short Films and more, Rella saw the wedding industry as one big family.
