Jemma Leversha
I’m originally from Cairns, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to be in the world of hairdressing and makeup. At just 12 years old, I started helping out as a tea and tidy at a family friend’s salon, and from that moment, I knew this was the career path I was meant to do.
​
At 14, I started my school-based apprenticeship at Reds Hair and Spa, which was an amazing start to my journey. After completing my apprenticeship, I moved to Melbourne to be with my now-husband, Tim, and to take my skills to the next level. I spent 10 years in Melbourne, honing my craft and soaking in every opportunity that came my way.
​
During my time there, I was fortunate enough to work at numerous Sydney and Melbourne Fashion Weeks, as well as editorial shoots—experiences that shaped my skills and broadened my understanding of the industry.
It was also in Melbourne that I had the privilege of working with Steven at Herrblick, where I perfected the art of men’s and short haircuts under the guidance of a true master in the field.
After having our gorgeous son I decided to open up a beautiful intimate Salon at the back of 'I do Flowers.' As the salon grow, I realised I needed a larger space and Allure popped up for sale.
​
Since stepping into Allure hair boutique my vision has been simple: To offer each guest a personalised experience where you’re treated with the utmost care and attention. This is more than just a salon; it’s a retreat—a space where you can unwind from the pressures of the outside world reconnect, and simply be.
​
At Allure, I take a one-on-one approach to every appointment, guiding you through your hair journey from start to finish. This isn’t a fast-paced, hustle-and-bustle atmosphere; it’s a place where you can relax, recharge, and leave feeling not only beautiful, but also truly refreshed.
​
I love every area of hairdressing and enjoy continuously learning and developing my skills.
​
For me the most important thing in hairdressing is for us to collaborate together, This allows me to understand you and your style and for us to work together to achieve a look that you love.
​
I love showing clients simple and easy techniques so they can recreate the look they get in the salon at home.
Integrity of your hair is prioritised and I will offer you advice on what products will support you at home.
