Olivia Murray

Salon Manager · 15+ Years Experience

Olivia Murray is the Salon Manager at Cruz Hairworks and one of Whitley Bay's most trusted colour specialists. With over 15 years of professional experience, she combines advanced technical skill with a calm, considered approach that clients return to time and again.

More information

Olivia's role is a dual one. She keeps the salon running to the high standards Cruz is known for, supporting the team and ensuring every client's experience is seamless from the moment they walk in. She also continues to take a full appointment book as a working colourist, bringing the same care and precision to every chair as she does to the wider running of the salon.

A Colour Specialist at Heart

Colour is where Olivia truly excels. Whether it is a full head of foils, a soft balayage, a tonal blend, or a vibrant all-over transformation, Olivia approaches every service with a thorough consultation first. She takes time to understand your hair type, skin tone, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences before a single product is mixed. The result is colour that looks beautiful on the day and continues to look polished as it grows out.

She is also highly experienced in colour correction, handling complex cases with care and honesty. Clients trust her to be straightforward about what is and isn't achievable, and to find the best, safest route to the result they want.

Leading by Example

As manager, Olivia sets the tone for how the whole team operates. Her calm professionalism, eye for detail, and commitment to client care are qualities that run through every aspect of how Cruz Hairworks works. She plays an active role in supporting less experienced stylists, and is often on hand to offer guidance and a second opinion during services.
