Ida-Louise started in the hairdressing industry in 2002. After finishing her studies and working in-salon for four years, she opted for a new adventure when she relocated to Cape Town and worked in an upmarket salon in Sea Point.
She then stretched herself and worked as an Educator/Technician for industry-leading brands Goldwell and KMS California for 4 years, where she worked with international artists and received in-depth training on colour and product knowledge. This is where Pink Scissors was born — she opened a small salon in the upmarket area of Claremont in Cape Town, and is now working out of a salon in Sunset Beach, Cape Town.
She has a passion for good quality professional-only products and hair, and will never compromise the condition of her client's hair.
Professional Hair Care
A great haircut is the foundation of every beautiful style. At Pink Scissors, every cut begins with a thorough consultation to understand your face shape, lifestyle and hair texture. We use only professional scissors and tools to deliver a precision cut, finished with a blowdry that shows off your new shape.
Whether you're looking for a classic trim, a bold new shape or a layered style, our expertise ensures a result you'll love every time.
Highlights add dimension, depth and luminosity that a single shade simply cannot achieve. Using techniques from classic foiling to balayage and babylights, we create a multi-tonal result that catches the light beautifully.
Every highlighting service at Pink Scissors is fully customised to complement your natural base colour, skin tone and the look you want to achieve — from subtle sun-kissed tones to bold, fashion-forward colour.
Goldwell Colorance is the first demi-permanent hair colour with Intralipid technology — it not only protects the hair but actively repairs the hair structure from within. The colour result is fresher, livelier and more intensive than traditional alternatives.
For Unlimited Possibilities:
Colorance is the ideal service for clients looking to refresh or enhance their existing colour with minimal commitment and maximum shine.
Goldwell Elumen is a revolutionary hair colour system that illuminates the hair intensively from the inside out, achieving intense and peerless results for colour professionals.
Elumen delivers up to 76% more colour intensity compared to oxidative permanent hair colours — with a gentler approach that keeps your hair in excellent condition.
Goldwell Kerasilk Smoothing Treatment is an in-salon hair treatment designed to help manage unruly, frizzy hair types. The treatment is formaldehyde-free and safe for even the most sensitive scalps.
Kerashape Technology uses glyoxylic acid and smoothing ingredients such as keratin and silk proteins to create new keratin bonds. It helps to soften waves and smooth the overall hair structure, reducing daily styling time significantly.
The result is beautifully smooth, manageable hair with a natural, healthy-looking finish — not a flat, plasticised look.
The most masculine way to blend grey.
For consistently natural, transparent grey reduction without helmet effect, no visible regrowth — Goldwell's Men's Reshade is the intelligent, understated solution for the modern man.
Hybrid Foam Technology:
Great Lengths hair extensions use only the highest quality human hair, masterfully integrated into your own hair through gentle, innovative techniques. The outcome is glamorous hair which looks completely natural.
Where does the hair come from?
Great Lengths hair is exclusively sourced from India, where hair is donated in a cultural practice called tonsuring. This ensures the hair cuticle faces the same direction (remi) — considered the best quality and most natural for women of European descent.
Why is Great Lengths considered the best?
Two things distinguish Great Lengths: a patented attachment technique and a patented colouring process that maintains hair quality whilst lifting the colour up to the lightest blonde.
Whether you want a complete transformation, an edgy trend, or a classic signature style, Great Lengths offers dynamic ranges to suit your requirements.
