Meet The Team

Warwick Smith

Creative Director

Hi I’m Warwick,
I began my career in hair about 35 years ago working on Oxford Street in Sydney. I then went on to win the NSW title in the Goldwell Colouring Competion then the national trophy!


After managing the salon I was in, I soon purchased the business which was the start of my title as Salon Owner. 2 more salons and a few years on, I sold my business and in 1999 I became a sales rep and educator while still working in Sydney’s Lane Cove. 


I brought Breathe Hair in Frankston in 2018 and the journey to create a mix of both hair and wellbeing whilst a Sustainable Salon began.

Courtney Caissie

Expert Colour Specialist & Stylist

Hi I’m Courtney,

All the way from Canada with years of experience, the beautiful and bubbly Courtney is here to share her love of hairdressing with the Frankston area.


As a Colour Specialist and Stylist, if you are wanting to refresh an old look or completely start a new look, then pop in to meet Courtney for a colour consultation to see what is possible and what would suit you the best.


With only being with us for a short period of time, Courtney is gathering many 5 star reviews as clients are blown away with her skills and wonderful conversations. She really listens to what people want and makes you feel special as you enjoy your hair treatments.


Jodie Newell

Experienced Barber

Hi I’m Jodie,

I'm excited to be back at Breathe Hair & Wellbeing after a few years away. I ran away to the country to enjoy the peace and quiet and run my own Barber Shop, yet I was missing the beach lifestyle and I've moved back with my family to the Frankston area. My experience as a barber includes all types of styles and cuts. I love to chat and have a laugh with my clients and not take life too seriously!



I'm known for my ability to work with special needs children and those who prefer a quiet low sensory experience - hence why we are starting Low Sensory Sunday mornings. I'm here to help those who need a little extra love.   

Justine Watson

Hair Stylist

Hi I’m Justine,

Recently fully qualified, I came to hairdressing later in life and I love it. As a mother and foster mother, I am busy juggling my life responsibilities with my work. When I am in the Salon, I am fully present with my customers to ensure they receive the best hair colour and cut experience they can.


Working together with clients to achieve their personal hair goals is what I love about my job. I look forward to transforming your look!

Larnz Geary

Emerging Stylist

Hi I’m Larnz,

I'm an emerging stylist and certified yapper. With a passion for learning and exploring new techniques I pride myself on being super friendly. If I'm not running around the salon specialising in braiding, upstyles or bespoke colour you’ll find me coaching the next generation of all-star cheerleaders.


Now looking to perfect my skills and build my very own clientele, please book in and allow my to take your hair to the next level.

Ella-May Duran

Emerging Colourist

Hi I’m Ella-May,

I started my career in hairdressing when I was 17 and did a few years inner Melbourne city before coming to Breathe for a short period before taking a break completely from hairdressing to work with horses. I'm now back working in hairdressing as well as with new skills and talents in massage, facials and day spa treatments.


Come and enjoy a treatment of your choice across the whole spectrum. I have strong hands and a big, open and loving heart, here to listen to you, whilst you relax and enjoy a wonderful experience.

Ben Coombs

Apprentice Hairdresser

Hi I’m Ben,

I've just started my journey as a hairdresser as I've watched Warwick over the years and I admire his work. Naturally creative, I am an artist at heart with my hands and wish to transfer this into hairdressing. I'm also naturally introverted and not as chatty as everyone else, yet I wish to do my best to help you with any service I am a part of.

Karen Crawford

Wellbeing Therapist

Hi I’m Karen,

With a passion for natural health and healing, I began my career with fitness and nutrition in my teens and progressed into a Masters in Metaphysical Healing, Diplomas in Naturopathy and Aromatherapy and Certifications in Massage, Reiki and Beauty Therapy. I believe that we have an amazing ability to heal ourselves once we improve our inner connection to self and become one with nature, we open up a whole new world of magic and energy.


If you are ready to take your life beyond it's current limits or simply want to reach inner peace, I look forward to supporting you on your journey,

Tania Bruce

Holistic Therapist

Hi I’m Tania,

My passion is and has always been health and feeling better and better. I believe we all deserve to be calm and clear at all times. This starts with being connected to ourselves and all we love. I consume everything organic, especially food, supplements and what we put on our skin and use in our everyday lives.

I love essential oils and have been working with them for over 20 years. I love the holistic alignment process as it allows whole brain thinking so we can expand our repertoire of stress responses and cope with life’s challenges in a more appropriate and inner-directed way. This is critical to proper function, survival and happiness!


I love with a big heart and am here to pamper you and support you to leave feeling refreshed and recharged, ready to enjoy another day!
