Hi I’m Amber, founder of Naph. Hair has been my passion for as long as I can remember – one of my earliest memories is learning how to braid on a Barbie doll. This passion was encouraged by my mum (also a hairdresser) whose influence has been instrumental in shaping my love for all things hair related.
Over ten years ago, I began my training at the Dylan Bradshaw academy in Dublin. After gaining a few years of valuable experience on the floor, I then caught the travel bug. Between 2016 and 2022, I travelled four continents, and worked in cities such as Melbourne, Vancouver, and Berlin. I always dreamt of opening a salon one day, so in 2022 I decided to return home and make it happen. And in March 2023 Studio Naph was born! A nod to the incredible salons that have inspired me, with my own twist.
A heartfelt shout-out to Marc Antoine studio (Berlin), Pony (Vancouver), In Salon (Vancouver), Heading Out (Melbourne) and Dylan Bradshaw (Dublin) and all the amazing clients along the way.
Linda, my beloved wire-haired daschund babycakes, is Naph’s front of house. She’s here for emotional support, entertainment, and makes a great alarm system. Linda’s extremely friendly. She loves to be held and adores a good belly rub. You get serious brownie points if you start playing fetch, although then she might not leave you alone :)
Linda is NOT From a puppy farm! Before Linda and I began our life together, she was loved and cared for with a house full of animals and kids. So she’s been loved and nurtured from the very start, meaning no trauma, therefore no need to fear her. But if you aren’t a fan of dogs, please let me know in advance so I can Linda can take some of her holiday days.
