Here at Feather & Noise we love Makin’ Noise with inspiring women we discover & love! Let us introduce you to Teneile & her two Staffy's Gracie & Eddy from Min. Studio in Yarraville. An inspiring salon located in a space that has a focus on hair, movement & mind.

Who lives here at Min.Studio?

A little bunch of likeminded people who love all things hair, movement and mind, plus good chats and a laugh with our clients.

What's your fave spot in your space?

The silky soft velvet couch under our old art deco arch window - such a beautiful spot to sit in the morning sunshine and enjoy a good coffee.

How scary was it to take the plunge & go out on your to begin Min. Studio?

SO SCARY! But so exciting. It all happened so quickly I didn’t have a lot of time to think about it. Everyday there are so many things to learn, it just keeps getting better and better.

Now I've heard there's more to Min. than just being a salon right?

Yes! The 'Min. Compass' takes us in lots of directions across hair, movement and mind. We have a couple of extremely talented movement gals who run both mat pilates and yoga classes weekly. Min. Mind covers our educational and self-appreciation workshops and retreats. So we use the space in different ways to maximise on what we can bring together for our clients - things they need, want and enjoy.

What's your top 3 styling tips on three of our very favourite topics?
1, hair?

- Embrace your natural hair type and find the cut and style that works for you, we don't believe in over styling.

- The right products make all of the difference with not only your hairs condition but also how easy your hair can become when you style it.

- Hot styling fact : Did you know that your hair dryer cause more harm to your hair than your irons? The average hair dryer heats up to between 250 to 300 degrees celsius, where as your irons are most likely to be 180 to 220 degrees.

2, Interiors?

- Trust your gut, add some green.

- Make a mood board

- Do your research on the expensive stuff, you may be surprised what you can find that is slightly cheaper but still great quality.

3, fashion?

- Never be afraid to dress individually, thats the beauty in you.

- Always splurge on a good pair of jeans that fit right.

- Invest in good basics.
