About Our Salon
You don’t just leave with beautiful hair. You leave feeling restored, grounded, and cared for.
Because when your salon
experience is calm, intentional, and low‑tox… your hair becomes a reflection of
your wellbeing, not your stress.
The team
Hi, l'm Marieta Trollip
Founder of Hairfillery | Owner of Authentic Collection Hair
Salon & Refined Image Consulting Studio
Master Colour Stylist | Image Consultant | Makeup Artist
l've known I wanted to be a hairdresser since I was a little
girl - no backup plan, no second guesses. By 30, I had my own salon. Today, I
lead a multi-faceted beauty business that empowers women to feel Confident,
radiant, and seen.
My work blends clean, anti-aging scalp care with personalised
colour season analysis and transformative hair colour - all designed to help
you become the best version of yourself. I'm a perfectionist with a plan, and I
believe in working backwards from your end goal to deliver results that
last.
I don't believe in once-off appointments. I build long-term
relationships. I take time to open up, but once I know you, we're more than
stylist and client - we're friends.
Outside the salon, I'm a wife, a proud mom of two beautiful kids, and someone who believes holidays are a love language. Give me a beach, a plan, and a good book - and I'm in my happy place.

Hi, I’m Michelle, and I’ve been in the hairstyling industry for 8 years. I started my career at Authentic Collection, where I worked as an apprentice and had the incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and refine my skills alongside an amazing stylist, who also gave me the opportunity to start my own business in 2023.
Over the years, I’ve developed a deep passion for creating
styles that not only look great but make my clients feel confident and cared
for. Building strong, genuine relationships with my clients is one of the
things I value most about what I do.
I strive to provide a relaxing and comfortable environment, where everyone who sits in my chair can unwind and enjoy the experience. Whether it’s a simple trim, a color refresh, or a full transformation, my goal is always to make sure you leave feeling your best.
