Meet Ciara Emerging hair stylist at Chumba — Chapel St, Windsor, Melbourne
Colour and cuts informed by your personal style, by a stylist who loves hair and loves to listen. From rainbow melts, vivid colour, hair tattoos and scalp art to classic blondes and brunettes, Ciara brings a little bit of everything to the chair — at an accessible emerging-stylist price.
Honest, chatty & a little bit edgy
Ciara has been part of the Chumba family for three years — since she was 15 years old — and is now in the final year of her apprenticeship. The first time she saw a salon doing exactly what she'd always dreamed of, she never looked back.
She fell for hair thanks to her aunty in Ireland, who was the first person to ever dye Ciara's hair a crazy colour. It stuck. Now she's the one making people feel good — whether that's a bold colour transformation or a head massage so good clients joke it healed their childhood trauma.
Expect a warm, easy chat in her chair at our Windsor salon. If you're a little nervous, Ciara's first move is always a conversation — understanding how you're feeling so she can look after you from start to finish.
Beautiful colour, premium products and the full Chumba experience at a more accessible price — with Ciara working under the daily guidance of our senior team, including her hair momma Colleen.
Alternative & fun, meets bombshell
Ciara loves anything alternative and a little bit different — and, on the flip side, adores everything bombshell, from Pamela Anderson to Victoria's Secret. If she were a crayon, she'd be rainbow: with a little bit of everything.
Her inspiration comes from 80s and 90s magazines, the alternative music scene and social media. Outside the salon you'll find her at concerts and festivals with friends. In five years? Still at Chumba, still making people feel beautiful — with a sprinkle of hair competitions on the side.

"Love Chumba. Love Ciara. She gives a great bouncy blow-dry smoothed to perfection and long lasting. Minor trim to frame the face. Maximum impact. Highly recommend 👌"
"I had the best time there, got my hair dyed and cut and I love it — genuinely the best experience I've had in a salon. Hair was done by Ciara."
"Ciara is a star!!! 🌟 She never lets my hair give away my age… love her work keeping my hair healthy and looking great! Ohhh and those fingernails!! Best hair wash ever!!!!! 💗"
"My hair looks and feels amazing. I only wanted a trim and was not so fussy about the result, but Ciara checked in multiple times throughout the cut to make sure everything was how I wanted it. She also offered to trim it once it was dry if it wasn't perfect."
"I'm really happy with everything today, everyone was lovely… I had a lovely coffee, thanks Ciara! So happy with the colour and cut and fringe… yah! Again thank you Ciara 🙏"
"Ciara is always so sweet and does a fabulous job on my hair. She always makes sure I'm 100% happy. Col is awesome too and has made sure my hair colour got back to exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks Ciara and Col!"
