Each fortnight, Stephanie Darling gets inside the head of an industry expert or media personality. This week, she talks to hair-colourist George Giavis.

George Giavis’s dedication to his one-on-one hair-colouring craft in his bespoke salon goes above and beyond the usual devotion to duty. He is always on call for his loyal clients and his salon, The Blonde Room – all gold taffeta and gilded mirrors – even had a cameo in the miniseries Underbelly: Vanishing Act.

What I’m loving right now My mother’s Greek cooking: moussaka and galaktoboureko, a semolina custard in filo pastry which my clients love.

Best grooming tip Looking good, feeling good and smelling good keeps me feeling confident.

Favourite colour Blonde!

Must-have grooming tool Babor Collagen Booster ampoules (wonderlab.com.au, $108). They are vegan, sustainable and a great skin booster. And my go-to scent, which is Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Cologne (jomalone.com.au, $229). It was Dad’s favourite. He was my hero growing up and taught me everything I know about life and business.
