Silk Founder & Creative Director
LEANNE
Welcome to Silk! I’m Leanne, the founder of Silk Hair Skin Body. I have lived on the Mornington Peninsula for most of my life, and Silk is my third salon in this beautiful area. Silk was designed to offer all hair, skin, and body services, including a dedicated men’s den barbering area. We want you to feel entirely at home in our space. With my passion for hairdressing and beauty, I’m committed to ensuring our Silk team delivers the highest standard of care and service. We believe in ongoing education, practical courses, and in salon training, which keeps us passionate and excited about delivering the latest trends and technologies to bring you the best in hair and beauty.
I’m so proud of the amazing team we’ve built here at Silk. Get to know the talented individuals who make your experience special.
