SLP 396: Colour Nuances and Beautiful Hair with Maria Faulder

Self Love Podcast

‘So, I am inspired by a sort of childhood version of the client. So, to try and replicate what the sun would have done just by going to the beach or being out and about, you know how naturally there’s all these different nuances, particularly in longer hair. You’ve got golds and you’ve got some beiges in there, you might have some warmer tones, you might have some cool ash, and I’m just even talking about blondes. Don’t get me started on reds and coppers and brunettes because we will be here all day. But yeah, I’m just really inspired to create hair that’s the most beautiful that it can be.’ ~ Maria Faulder

This is a powerful interview and insight into the world of hair from a world-renowned colourist and salon owner Maria Faulder. The conversation takes us on a journey of loving colour and art as a teenager to immigrating from the UK to establish a highly successful hair salon on the Sunshine Coast. Maria shares openly the highs and the lows and how the challenges have helped shape her into the successful wife, mother, friend and businesswoman she is today.

Maria Faulder is the Art Director, Master Colourist and Founder of Suite Three Hair (est 2008) in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast. Maria won Small Businesswoman of the Year SCBWN 2016 by combining her passion for her craft and appreciation for her love of business.

Maria was born in the UK, and immigrated to Australia with a young family in 2004. She. has over 38 years of hair industry experience and owned a highly successful hair salon in Carlisle, England. This experience gave her the strength and desire to launch her beloved Suite Three Hair in 2008.

Maria has worked on over 50 runways from the Melbourne Fashion Festival to the New York Fashion Week and is very proud to say Suite Three Hair is part of Sustainable Salons Australia’s practices, systems and network.

Her love of colour, shape and form came from her upbringing around Cumbria College of Art and Design, where her father taught Screen Printing. She spent a lot of time there and it’s fair to say that creativity was in my blood and fitted perfectly in the hairdressing world!

Her craft is her passion, and to be given the privilege to create beautiful hair for her clients is her big why.

Her definition of Self Love is meaning you can sit really well with the choices you have made. I have an abundance of self love with my family. It is celebrating your wins and being ok with the not wins. It is about being you and being a good person and kind.

Her favourite quote is:
Comparison is the thief of joy.
