Meet the Team

Where Style Meets Excellence

Blackwell Hair began with a simple goal—creating beautiful hair while offering a welcoming, personalised salon experience in Cairns.


Our team is a mixture of creative minds and passionate professionals who love what we do. When we’re not perfecting your look, you’ll find us chatting about the latest trends, swapping playlists, and maybe even debating the best coffee spots in Cairns.


Each of us brings a unique vibe to the salon, but one thing we all share is a commitment to making sure you leave feeling like the best version of yourself.


As a locally owned salon in Woree and a Salon Select Gold Member of the Australian Hairdresser Council, we are committed to providing high standards and upholding a strong reputation for quality and customer satisfaction.


By listening, understanding, and working with every client’s vision, we ensure a relaxed, enjoyable salon experience with results that feel as good as they look.

Ceili (Chili)

Hi, I’m Ceili (Kay-Lee) – but you can call me Chilli!

I’m a Senior Stylist with 13 years of experience in the hairdressing industry, and I’m still just as passionate about learning new techniques and staying on top of the latest trends. I specialise in creating beautiful blondes and colours that make my clients feel confident and amazing. Outside the salon, I’m a proud mum to two fur babies my cat, Amy, and my cheeky dachshund, Pickles.

Renee

Hi, I’m Renee!

With 14 years in the industry, my passion lies in people, connection, and creating a space where every client feels truly seen and cared for. I specialise in cutting, highlighted brunettes, and lived-in blondes. While I’m currently not taking new bookings, my incredible team is talented, kind, and ready to help you look and feel amazing.

Outside the salon, I’m married to my wonderful husband (and our resident salon handyman!), and we’re currently growing our little family. I’m also a proud dog mum to Ruby, our energetic and slightly crazy Kelpie.

Hayley

Hi, I’m Hayley!

With 3 years of experience behind the chair, I’m passionate about creating lived-in colours, bright blondes, and big, beautiful transformations that leave you feeling confident and refreshed. I love connecting with my clients and helping bring their hair goals to life! Outside the salon, you’ll find me camping, getting creative with arts and crafts, or spending quality time with my family and friends. Whether you’re after a subtle refresh or a complete makeover, I’m here to make your hair dreams a reality!

Mia

Hi, I’m Mia!

I’m a 1st-year apprentice with a big passion for all things hair. I started hairdressing because I love the joy it brings seeing someone walk out with a smile and feeling like a queen is the best part of my day. Outside the salon, you’ll usually find me hanging out with friends and family or playing sports. I can’t wait to keep growing in this industry and help you feel confident and amazing every time you visit!
