Ericeira, Portugal from 20 Oct 2026 · Online worldwide

Your hair tells more than any trend — it is a mirror of your soul.

Holistic skin & hair consultation with plant colour — in Ericeira, Portugal from 20 October 2026, and online worldwide.

I'm Annika, a master hairdresser and make-up artist. For twenty years I've worked in salons and for TV, film, theatre and opera. I want to understand what matters to you before we change anything. I prefer plant colour, but I'll explain chemical colour too, so we can decide what suits you.

About me

Why I work this way

For me, hair is about more than a cut or a colour. It can tell us something about everyday life and how we feel about ourselves. That's why I listen first.

I believe nature already gives us a lot of what we need. Together we look at three possible influences: lifestyle, nutrition and environment. I offer ideas, not diagnoses. This consultation does not replace a medical examination.

With products and other things your hair comes into contact with, there's often somewhere practical to start. I would rather see what you need than keep covering things up with more products.

And when I'm not working, I paint or go for a walk in the forest or on the beach. Nature, art and questions about health keep me curious.

Client words
“After years of getting highlights I felt that my hair needed a gentler, less toxic approach. Annika's hair consultation was everything I could ask for. Not only did she answer all of my many questions, she gave me a complete and easy guideline on how to colour and care for my hair in the most natural way. I love my new colour. You can tell it was carefully selected to match my skin tone perfectly and hide my greys without my hair looking „coloured“.”

Frequently asked

What exactly is the Skin & Hair Consultation?

A calm 60-minute look at hair, scalp, skin, health and everyday life. Afterwards you receive a written summary with clear next steps.

Do I have to change my colour?

No! The best colour is always the one you were given naturally — the one from the Creator. That is where I look first. And if you like, we simply bring it out.

Do you work with specific brands?

No, I work brand independent. I recommend products only when they really help — otherwise I tell you what to look for so you can choose yourself.

Can you help me switch from chemical to plant-based colour?

Yes. I assess your colour history, explain the differences honestly and guide the transition step by step. Your health comes first.

Can I book from Europe?

Yes. Online consultations are available worldwide, and in-person appointments can be requested for Ericeira, Portugal.
