The History

Nestled just steps away from the Aldgate Pump Hotel, a realm of enchantment awaits as you uncover the timeless allure of the 'General Store.' Its origins date back to the vibrant year of 1883, an era pulsating with the promise of new land parcels.

Throughout its illustrious history, this establishment has worn many hats - a chameleon-like general store, a bustling butcher's emporium, and in the dynamic 1890s, it underwent a metamorphosis into the illustrious Hills Cash Store.

However, amidst this historical tapestry, a modern tale of creativity and transformation unfolds. Casting a spell of glamour since June 15th, 1998, MK Hair Artistry (Originally MK CUTTERS) has turned these very walls into a safe place for self-expression. With an unwavering passion for hair alchemy.

MK Hair Artistry has been creating hair dreams for the Aldgate locals and the surrounding community for over 30 years.

Step inside, and let the team turn your hair dreams into a reality and allowing your services with s add an electrifying and contemporary chapter to the storied narrative of this remarkable location in the ADELAIDE HILLS.

Katelyn

Qualified Stylist

I have been at MK’s since 2019 where I began my apprenticeship.

Starting during the peak of Covid ( what an adventure ) I have since qualified and am continuing on as a senior stylist, specialising in blondes/balayage. They're definitely my passion.

When I’m not at work I’m back in the Murraylands spending time with my much loved friends and family, hooning around the farm on my motorbike & doing Reno’s around the place.

I love a good chat and am happy to either listen or just sit in silence, cause I know we all need that sometimes.

I look forward to seeing you & making you feel your most beautiful soon x

Tamara

Emerging Stylist

I have always had a passion for hairdressing, completed my certificate II in hairdressing early 2021, and started my apprenticeship at MK Hair Artistry in the same year.

When I am not in salon, I am spending time with my daughter and playing football on the weekends for Hallett Cove.

I love doing blondes and bleaches and learning new techniques to improve my skills, whilst enjoying blow-dries.

I am the newest up and coming emerging stylist at MK and loving every minute of meeting all the clients and doing gorgeous creations with their hair.

Tiarna

1st Year Apprentice

I started my apprenticeship in late 2022 at MK Hair Artistry.

Outside of work I spend time with family, and I enjoy going out to different events and spending weekends with my friends.

I love working alongside the girl's gaining knowledge and learning new skills.

I also enjoy going to trade school and learning new techniques and styles to utilise in salon.

My favourite thing to do in salon is a blow dry styling service.
