World-Class Hair Design for Modern Professionals

BE SEEN HAIR STUDIO

Real styles for real people

BE SEEN HAIR STUDIO was created by Branden for individuals who value intelligence, individuality, and refined quality. Every style is designed for real life—professional, modern, and wearable—while still making a clear visual statement.

This is hair that feels authentic, considered, and confidently seen.

International education, world-class standards

With decades of experience in the international fashion and beauty industry, Branden brings a world-class approach to hairdressing in Melbourne. Educated, globally influenced, and technically precise, his work reflects the highest standards of professional hair design—where technique, structure, and detail matter.

BE SEEN HAIR STUDIO exists to deliver premium quality hairdressing at an international level, informed by global trends but grounded in timeless design.

Designed, not duplicated

Every haircut and colour at BE SEEN HAIR STUDIO is personally designed by Branden. Looks are never copied—they are interpreted through expert consultation, advanced technique, and a deep understanding of proportion, colour theory, and individual identity. The result is hair that enhances who you are and how you live.

Healthy hair is the foundation of luxury

Exceptional hair begins with integrity. Hair health, strength, and longevity are prioritised in every service, whether the change is subtle or transformative. True luxury is hair that looks effortless, feels exceptional, and maintains its quality over time.

MEET BRANDEN 

- International Guest Artist 2018

Founder & Creative Director – BE SEEN HAIR STUDIO

With nearly 30 years of experience in the global fashion and beauty industry, Branden brings a distinctive, visionary approach to BE SEEN HAIR STUDIO. His career is shaped by international education, high-fashion influence, and a deep understanding of personal identity—making his work both intellectually considered and visually refined.

Branden began his creative journey as a fashion designer for international labels before expanding into PR and marketing for iconic global brands including Adidas Originals, Alain Figaret, Bvlgari, Marc Jacobs, Dom Pérignon, and other prestigious names across the fashion and beauty world. These experiences laid the foundation for his sharp aesthetic awareness and strategic approach to image, style, and self-expression.

Fashion-rooted, globally experienced

In 2006, Branden worked in London as a stylist for Yves Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen—a pivotal period that deepened his fascination with transformation, individuality, and the power of personal presentation.

In 2007, he relocated to Australia to further his studies and professional career, working as a stylist for a modelling agency in Sydney. It was during this time that Branden made a defining decision: to merge the discipline of high fashion with the craft of hairdressing, redefining beauty from the salon chair through precision, structure, and purpose.

In 2018, Branden represented Australian hairdressing as an international guest artist in South Africa, reinforcing his position as a globally respected creative with a world-class perspective.

Intelligent hair design, world-class standards

Branden’s hairdressing philosophy is grounded in education, technique, and integrity. Every haircut and colour is personally designed, never copied. His work is informed by European and international standards, with a strong focus on proportion, movement, colour theory, and long-term hair health.

Healthy hair is the foundation of luxury. From subtle refinement to complete transformation, Branden prioritises hair condition, longevity, and premium-quality results.

Every individual is their own brand

At BE SEEN HAIR STUDIO, Branden believes that every person is a brand in their own right. Through thoughtful consultation and expert execution, he designs custom hair that reflects your identity, supports your lifestyle, and elevates your everyday presence with confidence and elegance.

Based in Balaclava, Melbourne, BE SEEN HAIR STUDIO was created for educated, cosmopolitan individuals seeking intelligent, world-class hairdressing in a calm, refined environment.
