Annelise, the founder

With 10 years of experience in hair, Annelise brings a wealth of knowledge, technical skill, and a refined creative eye to her craft. With a background in design and a love for all things editorial, her work is shaped by an appreciation for composition, balance, and personal style.

Known for crafting effortlessly cool-girl hair, she specialises in balayage and modern colour techniques designed to stand the test of time. With a sharp eye for shape and a love of natural movement, her approach to colour and cutting is intuitive, considered, and deeply personal.

Tucked within the creative village of Port Kembla, Atelier Annelise is a sanctuary for considered hair - a reflection of everything that inspires her. A place she always yearned for as a lover of design, detail, and thoughtful experience.

With an emphasis on relaxation and wellbeing, the space invites guests to slow down and be present. It’s not just about the hair. It’s how you feel while you’re in the atelier and who you are when you leave.
