OUR story
Coastal Blondes was born in 2020, during the heart of the COVID pandemic, when Ceri and Kristiina, both with over 20 years of experience in the industry, decided to unite their passion and expertise. They aligned on a shared philosophy: creating stunning hair, empowering and educating clients to feel their best, and ultimately shaping the next generation of top-tier hairstylists. With a commitment to excellence, they built a space where beautiful transformations happen, and their clients leave feeling confident and inspired.
our story

Ceri
Co-owner • Hair Extension • Expert Blonde Lover
READ MORE ABOUT CERI
With over 20 years in the hair industry, my true passion lies in the transformative power of hair extensions. There’s something incredible about how extensions can completely elevate someone’s look—and more importantly, their confidence. Watching a client’s reaction when they see their new, fuller hair is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. It’s not just about the hair; it’s about empowering people to feel their absolute best.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working as an award-winning wedding stylist and even styling for Australian Fashion Week. But it’s my love for blondes and hair extensions that really drives me to stay on top of the latest techniques and innovations. As a former educator for Showpony Hair Extensions, I’ve honed my skills to ensure that every client gets the safest, most high-quality extensions, tailored to their unique needs. And curating the perfect personalised blonde look for my clients.
Originally from the UK, I’ve found a true home on the Sunshine Coast, where I’ve quickly become a sought-after blonde specialist and the go-to expert for hair extensions. Growing my team and business has been a truly fulfilling journey, and I’m proud of the talented professionals we’ve brought together to create a space where clients can feel pampered and leave with a new sense of confidence.
Above all, I believe in the importance of listening and educating my clients, which is why I take a personalized approach to each consultation. I’m here to provide not just a service, but a luxury salon experience that ensures you leave feeling like the best version of yourself, ready to take on the world.

My passion for hair artistry is as strong as it was when I began my career 20 years ago. I love the constant challenge it brings and the amazing adventures it’s taken me on. I simply love spending time with people. I feel very grateful to have the opportunity to make them feel beautiful and cared for in my own space.
Professionally, I’m forever learning new techniques and always looking for new innovations to ensure I can respond to my clients evolving requests. They certainly keep me on my toes and l love it! I specialise in colour work full of softness and natural feel.
My work is personalised to suit my clients’ lifestyle and styling needs.
Hair education is my second love. I had my own salon for over 10 years in Finland and after migrating to Australia, I worked in Australia’s top salons in-house and as an educator. I worked for L’oreal, our our industry leader, in Melbourne as an educator for Redken. After spending several years educating hairdressers and working alongside Australia’s best hair artists, I started to miss salon life and wanted to put my new skills to work at my very own blonding salon on the Sunshine Coast.
Having my own salon is a dream come true but, seeing my clients leave their appointment feeling beautiful and confident is even better

I’ve been hairdressing since 2017, and I genuinely love every aspect of it—from hair transformations to meeting new people and always expanding my skillset. I have recently moved up from Brisbane where I worked at a prestigious city salon. But I’m happy to be here on the chilled Sunshine Coast.
I see hairdressing as an ever-evolving field and am dedicated to perfecting my skills to be the ultimate all-rounder hairstylist. My focus and passion is on gorgeous layer cuts, vibrant colours, beautiful blonde, and fabulous hair extensions.
I love building true relationships with my clients and love a good chat. I look forward to having you in my chair soon.
