Maybe the younger hairdressers ain’t charging too much… maybe some of us have been charging too little for far too long. 👀

Senior hairdressers, when did you last put your prices up, and did you apologise for it? 😂

Money can’t buy happiness…
but it can buy good hair.

And honestly, that’s pretty close. 😂

Happy Birthday Aone 🤍🎂

A little surprise in the middle of the@day for someone who means a lot to our team.

Thank you for all the hard work, energy and care you bring to ANCO. More than that, thank you for simply being you — kind, genuine, always making people laugh, and always bringing good energy into the salon.

You’re such an important part of our team, and I think everyone here can feel how much heart you put into the people around you.

Wishing you another year full of good health, happiness, growth and plenty of reasons to smile.

Happy Birthday Aone. We’re very lucky to have you with us. 🤍

When you get that blend in the dream 🤌🏼

I think this is what most people actually want when they ask for blonde.

Not just “lighter”.

They don’t want to look stripey.
They don’t want a hard line when the roots grow out.
And they definitely don’t want their hair screaming “I just got it coloured.”

You just want it to look soft, clean and effortless.

That’s the blend.

Doing blonde on Asian hair is a bit like painting a wall — if the base underneath is patchy, the final colour will be patchy too.

This client already had different levels of damage through the ends, so before we even thought about the final toner, we had to protect the hair, even out the lift and fill in the weaker areas first.

Once the “canvas” is even, the final blonde becomes much cleaner, softer and more even.

Sometimes the best blonde result is actually decided by everything you do before the toner.

A chapter I’ll always be grateful for 🤍

After an incredible time at ANCO Studio, the time has come for me to close this chapter and step into the next.

I’m so incredibly grateful for my time at ANCO — the opportunities, the experiences, the lessons, the challenges, and most importantly, the people who have supported and believed in me along the way.

I’ve grown so much both personally and professionally during my time here, and I’ll carry the knowledge, memories and confidence I’ve gained with me into my next chapter . ✨

A huge thank you to Adrian and the whole ANCO team for welcoming me, trusting me and giving me the opportunities that I’ll always be proud of. 🤍

Here’s to new beginnings, new challenges and continuing to grow into the artist I’m meant to be. 🥂✨

Forever grateful for this chapter. 🤍

Why do professional products cost so much?

You’re not only paying for the formula.

You’re paying for distributors.
Sales teams.
Big marketing campaigns.
Fancy events.
Free gifts.
Corporate overheads.
And the margins added at every stage.

There’s nothing wrong with that model — we just chose a different one.

OCCA works directly with our manufacturing chemists, keeps the structure lean, and sells directly to hair professionals.

Less money spent on everything around the product.
More focus on what’s actually inside it.

Good formulas. Fair pricing. No unnecessary layers.

Not every blonde needs bleach. 🍯

For this honey blonde, we used a high-lift colour instead of lightener.

Because we were working towards a warmer blonde, we didn’t need to push the hair unnecessarily light first. When the natural base allows it, high-lift colour can create beautiful brightness while keeping more of the hair’s condition intact.

Less unnecessary lifting.
More warmth, shine and dimension.
And a blonde that grows out beautifully.

The goal isn’t to bleach every blonde.

It’s to choose the right method for the result you actually want.
