Warwick Smith
Creative Director
Hi I’m Warwick,
I began my career in hair about 35 years ago working on Oxford Street in Sydney. I then went on to win the NSW title in the Goldwell Colouring Competion then the national trophy!
After managing the salon I was in, I soon purchased the business which was the start of my title as Salon Owner. 2 more salons and a few years on, I sold my business and in 1999 I became a sales rep and educator while still working in Sydney’s Lane Cove.
I brought Breathe Hair in Frankston in 2018 and the journey to create a mix of both hair and wellbeing whilst a Sustainable Salon began.
I specialise in curly hair, razor cutting and other textural cuts and layering techniques.
I also offer Sulphur and ammonia free Perms which provides you with a more natural organic feel.
Outside of work I love to focus on how I can best help our community involved in charitable enterprises, fundraisers and producer of a upcoming Frankston feature film. I love to Kayak, Camp, Cook and more.
Lets Chat over a fresh new look💚
Nicole Depetro
Senior Stylist
Hi I’m Nicole,
A proud mum of three beautiful children, I have many passions in life, hair is where my heart truly lies.
When I'm not with my family, you’ll find me immersed in all things hair — keeping up with the latest trends, techniques and styles, and continually finding new ways to create hair that makes clients feel fantastic.
Warm, bubbly and genuinely people-focused, I believe that great hair starts with a great connection. I take the time to understand what you want, what makes you feel confident and how you want to feel when you walk out the door.
My philosophy is simple: work together, create something that feels like you, and make sure you leave feeling amazing.
Whether you’re looking for a fresh new look, a beautiful colour, a style refresh or simply someone who really listens, I would love to meet you.
Come in, take a seat and let’s create your best hair yet. ✨
Asha Dowling
Junior Stylist
Hi I'm Asha,
A qualified hairdresser with a Certificate III in Hairdressing and two years of hands-on salon experience, I bring a wonderful mix of technical skill, creativity and fresh energy to every appointment.
I am passionate about creating personalised looks that make each client feel confident, seen and completely themselves.
I especially love beautiful blow waves, alternative cuts and colours, layered and solid cuts, and face-framing techniques that enhance and complement your natural features.
Creativity doesn’t stop at the salon! Outside of hair, I love aerials, art, beauty and fashion, as well as spending time with friends. I am naturally artistic and love bringing that creative eye into my work — whether it’s a subtle refresh or a completely new look.
