Where new life begins - for you and your curls.

Vita Nova Hair Studio is more than a salon. It’s a place where individuality is celebrated, transformations begin, and every guest leaves feeling refreshed, confident, and at ease in their own skin.

My Mission

With almost a decade of experience, I started my career in two of Bendigo’s top salons. But my true calling emerged after returning home to Echuca post-COVID — a time that reconnected me with family and reminded me what really matters: helping people feel understood, confident, and beautiful in their natural texture.

I saw a huge gap in the curly hair industry and dedicated myself to mastering curl-specific cutting and care.

My mission is simple: to help you love and understand your curls, one haircut at a time.

I know what it feels like to not be heard or to think your curls are “unmanageable.” That’s why I’ve built a calm, judgment-free salon experience that prioritises self-acceptance, education, and authenticity.

The Salon Vibe

Located in the heart of Echuca, Vita Nova Hair Studio is a private, home-based salon designed for comfort and calm. Every appointment is one-on-one, allowing you to unwind and be yourself.

The business began in 2022 under the name Champagne Hair Lounge before evolving into Vita Nova — meaning “new life.” It symbolises not only a new chapter for me, but for every person who sits in my chair.

Specialising in curly hair, lived-in blondes, and scalp health, I use clean products and gentle, integrity-driven techniques that nurture both hair and confidence.

And adding to the cosy vibe, you’ll often meet Luna — my little sausage dog and salon sidekick — who loves greeting clients and bringing warmth to the space.

Client Reviews

“I saw Emma this week and she’s amazing!
As an autistic adult still learning about my curls, she took the time to educate me and got me feeling exciting about my hair again. Such a sweet and talented woman. Highly recommend.”
