Read more ](/blog/balayage-vs-ombre-difference-guide) ## Creative Director Stylist (Maternity) Olivia is the Creative Director Stylist at Vanilla Hairdressing & Beauty, currently on maternity leave. With over seven years of experience, she brings fresh creativity and precision to everything she does, and her clients are already counting down the days until she's back behind the chair. ### Specialities & Expertise Olivia's strengths lie in cutting, styling and modern colouring techniques. She has a particular talent for enhancing natural tones and texture, whether that's a glossy brunette refresh, a bright blonde transformation or a seamless balayage that grows out beautifully. Her colour work is designed to look effortless and stay easy to maintain between appointments. ### What Clients Love Olivia's friendly nature and genuine care for her clients set her apart. She takes the time to understand what will suit your face shape and lifestyle before recommending anything, and her consultations are thorough without ever feeling rushed. The result is a look that works for you in the real world, not just on the day of the appointment. ### Her Role at Vanilla As Creative Director Stylist, Olivia plays a key role in shaping the salon's creative direction. She's passionate about keeping Vanilla at the forefront of current trends and techniques, and her influence is felt across the team. While she's away on maternity leave, the rest of the stylists are keeping her standards high, and we look forward to welcoming her back soon. ### At a Glance - **Role:** Creative Director Stylist (currently on maternity leave) -
