Brace yourself. Summer is coming. Australian summer is quite an experience. There’s dry heat, humid heat, oppressive heat, and
many other types of heat too. The good news is there’s plenty of opportunities for fun even if you’re not usually a fan of summer.

You might be getting time off over the Christmas period. If so, you’re probably spending a lot of it with family. And while that’s important, also remember to do some fun things for yourself.

The Northern Rivers region has a number of places where you can go to reward yourself for all you accomplished, during this crazy year. There’s plenty of great places for you to pamper yourself, rest, and rejuvenate. We want to give a shout out to a few fantastic places in North Rivers where you can treat yourself this summer. Check out our recommendations for things to do this summer in the Northern Rivers.

LA Hair Ballina

“Relax, unwind and enjoy creative cutting and styling from the team at LA Hair Design, Ballina.”
LA Hair is your go-to team of experts for all things hair related. Their main service is Creative Cutting and Styling, where they perform small trims or complete makeovers to suit your style and face shape. They also perform Creative Colouring. This is perfect for those
who have always been curious about changing their colour to something new, or something
totally wild.

LA Hair will do recolouring that is long-lasting and will look gorgeous. Yet their real specialty is Balayage and Blonde Services. For those who don’t know,
Balayage is a French colouring technique where the colour is applied entirely by hand, rather than using foiling or highlighting. This allows for a finer touch, and lets the LA Hair artists create a truly vibrant look.
