THE EDIT
Sheree Knobel
Bixie Colour owner and founder,
Redken artist and educator
How would you describe your style aesthetic?
“I am drawn to classic beauty with a rock-chick edge, but
I love to see people confident in all manner of natural and
bold looks (and all the in-between). I love and appreciate
that we are all different.”
What design influence have you given Bixie salon?
“Modern luxe with a minimalist approach. I want the hair to
be the hero in our space. I worked with designers such as Cult
Design and MCM House. My aim was to create a minimalist,
luxe space The monochrome palette and super large rose
gold mirrors create an expansive look and an open vibe.”
Where is your ultimate holiday destination?
“I recently visited Amalfi Town on the Amalfi Coast with my
family. It is a magical place..”
Pick your poison...
“Om Pomme: Vanilla vodka, lillet rose, apple, lemon,
sparkling wine.”
What hair product/tool are you loving at the moment?
“One United by Redken. Usually, a good product will excel in
a single domain but One United does all of this and more. It
delivers brilliant shine, provides protection from heat styling,
UV protection, controls frizz and is anti-static.”
What accessory can you not live without?
“YSL vintage Niki bag in dark blue leather I bought in Paris.”
How do you let loose after a long week?
“Saturday nights are very chill. Sunday is family day. It’s
usually canoeing in the Royal National Park, roller skating, or
exploring and finding somewhere new to hang out together.”
What are you watching?
“I’m a self-confessed Netflix junkie so I’m always on the
hunt for the latest binge. I love chatting to my clients about
this and swap recommendations. I recently watched The
Kindness Diaries and am currently watching Dirty John with
Eric Bana.”
Which celeb is a hair muse for you?
“I’m inspired by rock-chick, festival-vibe hair so I’m looking
at celebs such as Gigi Hadid and Hailey Beiber to see what
they’re up to. They’re always so sexy and adventurous.”
