A great wedding expo where we had the opportunity to demonstrate our skills and give brides a few tips for wedding day hair and airbrushed make-up. Great convertible dress demonstration also with Von's Gorgeous Gowns.






You can also watch my quick video with some 
tips for your wedding veil from my stage demonstration on my You Tube Channel.

My Exciting New Adventure

Most people know about me is that I don't sit still! I love to learn, to create, to expand, to teach and always thinking ahead for that next innovation. My husband always says to me TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF!

After being in business for 9 years it is a little hard to switch off!

Some people may know that I sold the salon to some lovely people based in Brisbane in October 2012 and at the same time we found out we were pregnant. We wanted to have another baby but I didn't want the stress of running a salon with my second child. I wanted to spend more time with my children. I have two beautiful girls Adison (now 4years) and Peyton (now 11 months).

Peyton is about to turn 1 and I am about to start a new exciting chapter. To do so I am sadly leaving my dear friends Hannah, Marley and Emma at Urban Hi-Lights to enter a new chapter. These girls are always going to be my friends but after 15 years at the salon I need a new challenge for myself.

I will be assisting the girls at Urban Hi-Lights with any bridal bookings remaining for this year so my brides are looked after and their wedding day is not disrupted. If any brides have any questions you can call the salon directly on 0746331000 or my mobile directly on 0407122735.

My exciting new adventure is I will be working with the wonderful team at
Minx Contemporary Hair Boutique
phone
07 4632 3055

If you would like to make a booking with me ask for 
Sarah Courtney (as there are two Sarah's).


I will be working 
Thursday's until 9pm, Friday all day and Saturday for Bridal Suite bookings and by appointment.








 






I will be making sure that extensive records are kept at Urban Hi-Lights for Hannah and Emma to take care of everyone if you are unable to come to Minx. I want to make sure it is a smooth transition and everyone is taken care of.

I will be at Urban Hi-Lights until 28th June 2014 so call 0746331000 to book in. 

I start at Minx Contemporary Hair Boutique on Thursday 3rd July 2014.

You can find all my information and contact details including social media links at www.sarahcourtneyhairartist.com 

I am really looking forward to learning new things from an exciting team and participate in more competition work. Watch this space for a more as we get closer!!!!!
