Why Is My Hair Getting Thinner as I Get Older?
31/08/2026
One of the most common things we hear behind the chair at Dale James & Co in South Perth is: “My hair just isn’t as thick as it used to be.” Hair can change enormously over the years.

Which Blonde Is Right For You? It’s one of the most common questions clients ask when they want to go blonde. Both techniques can create beautiful blonde hair, but they don’t necessarily create the same result.

Instead, we look at the blonde you want, your existing hair, how often you’re prepared to visit the salon and how you want your colour to grow out. Here’s...
