Our Story

Founded in 2003, Kokum Hair has been in the community for over two decades. Our story began with a simple vision: to create a space where beautiful, personalised hair is paired with warm, inviting atmosphere.

Through the years, we've built relationships with clients, watched families grow, and witnessed countless transformations from hair to confidence. Today, our salon stands as a testament to our commitment to quality, passion, and personalised care.

Over the last 20+ years, we've seen trends come and go, but one thing has remained constant, our dedication to making you feel your best, every time you step through the doors.

At Kokum Hair, transformation isn't just about how you look, it's about how you feel when you leave.

Our Journey

From Our Roots to Our New Home

In 2023, after nearly two decades of building strong client connections at our original location, we made a bold move. We relocated to a brand-new, beautifully designed space that reflects both our evolution and our commitment to providing an elevated salon experience. The new location allows us to better serve our clients with a more modern space, state-of-the-art facilities, and an even more serene environment where you can unwind while receiving expert care.

Though we’ve moved, the heart of Kokum Hair remains unchanged. The same level of dedication, skill, and passion for the art of hair remains the foundation of everything we do. The new space is a reflection of our growth and our continued promise to provide top-tier services for the years to come.
