Want to Join our Team
We're Looking for a Senior Stylist — But Not Just Any One
We're not going to dress this up with corporate language. Here's the actual situation.
Stevie English Hair has been in Glebe since 2007. We're an award-winning colour salon — multiple Australian Colourist of the Year titles, and most recently Salon Team of the Year at the AHIA Creative Awards 2026. We've built something genuinely good here, and we want the right person around it.
We're not looking for someone to build a clientele from scratch. We have clients. Good ones, loyal ones, clients who trust us with serious colour work. and amazing haircuts. What we need is a senior stylist who knows what they're doing and wants to do it somewhere worth showing up to.
What we're offering
A fully booked column. A team that actually gives a shit. An environment built around colour done properly — K18,, O&M, bond-building as standard, not an upsell. Awards on the wall that mean something. And a salon in Glebe that's been around long enough to know what it's doing.
What we're looking for
Senior level. Colour-confident and cutting prowess . Someone who takes pride in their work without needing to be managed. If you've outgrown where you are, or you're looking for a team that'll push you rather than just tolerate you — let's talk.
Get in touch
DM me on Instagram, @stevieenglish email us salon@stevieenglish.com.au , or just walk in. We'd rather have a real conversation than a formal application process.

Glebe in Sydney Blonde specialist Guide
The Honest Guide to Going from Dark to Light
Let's get one thing out of the way upfront: going from dark to blonde in a single appointment is almost always a bad idea. We know that's not what the internet tells you. We know your mate did it somewhere and it looked fine for about three weeks. We're telling you anyway.
Here's what actually happens, and how to do it properly.
Why dark hair doesn't just lift to blonde
Dark hair — whether it's natural or coloured — has a high concentration of melanin in the cortex imagine lots of coffee beans. Lightener breaks that melanin down, but it doesn't do it all at once. It moves through a series of stages: black to brown, brown to red, red to orange, orange to yellow, yellow to pale yellow. Every head of hair has to pass through those stages. You can't skip them unfortunately.
What you can do is control how far you lift in a single session, how much stress you put the hair under, and how you manage the stages over time.
What "going in stages" actually means
For most people starting from dark brown or black — natural or coloured — getting to a true blonde is a multi-appointment process. The first session might get you to a warm auburn or copper. The second lifts you to a brighter, lighter base. The third gets you to where you actually want to be.
That's not us being overly cautious. That's us not destroying your hair.
Each lift session stresses the protein structure of the hair. Going too hard, too fast, in a single sitting risks breaking that structure — and broken hair doesn't lift, it snaps. Doing it in controlled stages, with bond-building support between appointments, gets you to the same destination with hair you can actually enjoy when you get there.
We do want to give you your dream colour! promise . But we want your hair to be healthy too!
The colour history problem
If your hair has been coloured — box dye especially — that's an extra variable. Box dyes often contain metallic salts or high-deposit pigments that sit in the cortex differently to professional colour. They can lift unevenly, turn unexpected shades, or resist lifting altogether in patches.
This is why we do a consultation before any major lightening service. We need to know what's been on your hair, not just what it looks like now.
What you should expect going in
More than one appointment if you're starting dark
A consultation first — always it’s free!
Some warmth in the early stages — that's normal, not a mistake
Bond-building treatments and peptides built into the service, not bolted on as an afterthought
Honest timelines — we'd rather tell you it takes three visits than have you leave unhappy after one
What we won't do
Rush it. We've been doing this since 2007. We hold multiple Australian Colourist of the Year titles. We were named AHIA Salon Team of the Year in 2026. None of that happened by cutting corners on the hard services.
If someone's quoting you a full dark-to-blonde transformation in one session at a price that seems too good — it probably is.
Come in. Let's talk about your hair, your timeline, and what's actually achievable. That conversation is free.

Blonde Experts but what blonde do you want?
ASK CLAUDE OR CHAT GPT . What blonde ?
If you've ever Googled "how to go blonde" and come out more confused than when you started, you're not alone. The terminology alone is enough to put people off booking. So let's break it down properly.
Balayage
Balayage is a normally a freehand painting technique, not a product. The lightener is painted directly onto sections of dry hair in sweeping strokes — no foils, which means the colour can bleed and blend naturally at the edges. The result is a softer, more diffused grow-out that doesn't leave a hard regrowth line every six weeks. But some hairdressers will use foil, they might back comb etc…
It's ideal if you want a natural, sun-touched look. It's also a longer appointment than people expect — done properly, it takes time to map out the placement and get it right for your face shape and hair length.
What it isn't: a shortcut. We've seen a lot of balayage that was rushed, placed too low, or painted on too heavy — and it ends up looking patchy rather than effortless. The technique only looks casual when it's been thought about carefully.
Foils
Foils give you more control over where the lightener goes and how it processes. The foil wraps the section and traps heat, which accelerates lifting and creates cleaner, more defined separation between lightened and natural hair.
If you want high contrast, bright pieces, or a more classic blonde look, foils are usually the better call. They're also more effective for heavy lifting on resistant or previously coloured hair, where you need every bit of help from the controlled heat environment.
Full-head foils are a bigger commitment — in time, cost, and maintenance — but for the right result, there's no substitute.
Full bleach (all-over lightening) Stevies fave
This is exactly what it sounds like: lightener applied to the whole head for an even, all-over lift. It's most commonly used for fashion colours that need a white or very pale base, or for clients making a dramatic change from dark to light.
It's also the most demanding service on the hair's structural integrity — which is why our bond-building protocol with K18 and Olaplex isn't optional on these appointments. It's built in, because the alternative is getting your clients to a great result once and then watching it fall apart over the next few months.
So which one do you actually need?
That depends on your starting point, your goal, and honestly — your lifestyle. If you can't get in every six weeks, foils might not be your friend. If you want maximum brightness, balayage alone probably won't cut it.
This is the conversation we have at every consultation. We offer FREE CONSULTATIONS . We'd rather spend twenty minutes talking through the right approach than have you leave disappointed with a result that could have been avoided.
Book in and let's work it out properly.

Bleach Experts Sydney
What Actually Happens When We Lighten Your Hair
People sit in the chair and say "I want to go blonde" like it's a single step. It's not. And understanding what's actually happening inside the hair shaft is the difference between a result that lasts and one that falls apart before you're back for your next appointment.
Hair is basically a protein structure
Boring I know , but its important
.Your hair is made up of keratin — a fibrous protein — bound together by something called the cortex. That cortex is where your natural pigment (melanin) lives. When we apply a lightener, we're not just stripping colour off the outside. We're going in.
Powder lightener, mixed with a developer, creates an oxidative reaction. That reaction breaks down melanin molecules inside the cortex — lifting pigment out of the hair. The higher the developer, the faster and more aggressively it works. Fast isn't always better. Slow and steady wins the race remember!
Why technique matters more than product
The same lightener can give two completely different results on two different clients. Porosity, previous colour history, hair thickness, starting point, ie your natural colour , scalp heat — all of it changes the equation. A head of virgin hair lifts differently to one that's been coloured for ten years. Fine hair processes faster than coarse. Hair near the scalp (where the heat from your head accelerates processing) lifts faster than the mid-lengths.
This is why there's no such thing as a one-size application. On-scalp vs off-scalp, foils vs balayage, processing times, developer strength — these are all variables we're reading and adjusting in real time.
The damage conversation
Lightening weakens the hair's internal bond structure. That's just chemistry. The keratin chains that give hair its strength and elasticity take a hit every time you lift. Which is why what happens after the lightener comes off matters as much as the lift itself.
At Stevie English Hair, we use K18 and Olaplex in our lightening services — not as an upsell, but because it's the right way to do the job. K18 is a peptide that fixes (honestly its magical shit). Bond builders work during and after the chemical process to reconnect broken disulfide bonds inside the cortex. The result is hair that lifts well and stays in good condition long enough to actually enjoy being blonde.
What this means for you
If you've had a bad lightening experience before — brassiness, breakage, a result that faded badly or felt like straw — the problem almost certainly wasn't the product. It was the application, the timing, or the aftercare.
We've been working with powder lightener in this salon since 2007. AND Stevie is old ,literally hairdressing over 30 years . We hold multiple Australian Colourist of the Year titles, and in 2026 we were named Salon Team of the Year at the AHIA Creative Awards. None of that happened by accident — it happened because we take the chemistry seriously.
We take hair seriously! But you can have a good time whilst we are serious about your hair
If you want to go lighter, we'd love to show you how it's done properly.

Why We're Known as Bleach Specialists in Sydney (And Why That Matters)
Blonde hair specialists are every where. But not many salons do bleach regrowth every day.
Blonde is easy to promise and hard to deliver. Anyone can lift hair — fewer people can lift it and leave it in a condition you're happy to touch, cut, style and repeat six weeks later without it falling apart. That gap is basically our whole reputation.
It's a craft, not a formula
Bleach isn't a recipe you follow once and repeat forever. Every head that sits in our chair has a different starting point — different history, different porosity, different goals — and the same lightener applied the same way on two different clients can give two completely different results. Getting it right consistently, at scale, for nearly two decades, is the actual skill. It's not one big reveal — it's judgement, repeated correctly, thousands of times.
Healthy hair is the whole point
A lot of places can get you blonde. Fewer can get you blonde and keep the hair strong enough to do it again next time. We built our approach around bond-building and repair from day one — that's why K18 and Olaplex are permanent fixtures in our colour room, not add-ons. The O&M bleach is the tool. The hair's long-term condition is the actual outcome we're judging ourselves on.
The proof is in the awards, not just the before-and-afters
We've picked up multiple Australian Colourist of the Year titles and a swag of international colour awards over the years, on top of being named 2026 AHIA Salon Team of the Year. Awards aren't why we do the work, but they're a decent outside check that what we believe about our own standards holds up against everyone else in the industry too.
What this means if you're booking in
If you're chasing a big lift — full blonde, a balayage refresh, colour correction off a box-dye disaster — you're not the first. It's genuinely most of what we do, and we've built the systems, the products and the experience around doing it properly rather than fast.
Book a consultation and we'll talk through what's realistic for your hair, not just what you've screenshotted from Pinterest.

We're the 2026 AHIA Salon Team of the Year
AND WHAT A TEAM WE HAVE!
On Monday 29th June, at the ICC Sydney Ballroom, Stevie English Hair was named Salon Team of the Year at the ANZ Hair Industry Awards Creative 2026, presented by Schwarzkopf Professional.
Mel took to the stage to collect it, flanked by Zoe, Frank, John and Paulo — which felt right, because this was never a one-person award. This is the whole team, every day, every head of hair, every early morning and late finish, adding up to something the industry decided was worth recognising.
Salon Team of the Year isn't about one collection or one big shot. It's judged on the whole operation — the culture, the consistency, the standard you hold when no one's watching as much as when everyone is. So this one means a lot.
Thank you
To the crew — this is yours as much as it is the salon's. Eighteen-plus years of building something in Glebe, and you're the reason it keeps getting better, not just older.
And to our product partners who back us every day and make the work possible — O&M, Ecoheads, and K18 — thank you. Standing on that stage, it's easy to forget how much of what we do depends on the people and products behind the chair, not just in front of it.
Salon Team of the Year. We'll let that sink in for a bit.

Brazilian Keratin Treatment Sydney | Frizz Free Hair Glebe Inner West
"BKT Brazilian keratin treatment Sydney — Stevie English Hair Glebe inner west"
BKT — The Treatment That Makes Sydney's Humidity Your Problem No More.
Even in Winter it halves your drying time .
Sydney humidity. The enemy of good hair.
You wash it. You dry it. You walk outside. And within 10 minutes it's frizzy, puffy and doing something completely different to what you had planned.
We've been fixing this problem at Stevie English Hair for years. And the treatment that does it best right now is BKT — Brazilian Keratin Treatment.
WHAT IS BKT?
BKT — Brazilian Keratin Treatment — is a professional hair smoothing treatment that works from the inside out.
Not a relaxer. Not a straightener. Not a chemical treatment that strips your hair.
It uses keratin — a protein that's already naturally in your hair — along with amino acids and organic ingredients to smooth, strengthen and seal each strand from the inside.
The result?
Smooth. Shiny. Manageable. Frizz-free. ———————————————> AMAZEBALLS HAIR
Hair that actually does what you want it to do. In Sydney humidity. On a Monday morning. Before your 8am client.
WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY DO?
Here's what changes after a BKT:
— Frizz. Gone. Or dramatically reduced.
— Blow dry time cut in half. Sometimes more.
— Hair feels softer and stronger at the same time.
— Curls and waves don't disappear — they just behave.
— Sydney weather stops being a problem.
It's not magic. It's chemistry. But it feels like magic.
IS IT SAFE?
Yes. And this matters.
The original Brazilian keratin treatments that came out years ago contained formaldehyde. Which is not something you want on your scalp or in your lungs. BLAH BLAH BLAH chemicals. We know.
The BKT we use is formaldehyde-free. Vegan. No harsh chemicals. Safe for colour treated hair. Safe for sensitive scalps.
We use O&M and professional BKT products — the same commitment to cleaner, better chemistry that runs through everything we do at Stevie English Hair.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
3 to 5 months typically. Depending on your hair type, how you wash it, and what products you use at home.
The other good news: results are cumulative. Each treatment your hair gets a little smoother, a little healthier, a little more manageable. It gets better over time.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
BKT works brilliantly on:
— Frizzy or puffy hair
— Curly or wavy hair that you want more control over
— Colour treated hair that needs smoothing and strengthening
— Fine hair that goes limp in humidity
— Anyone who spends too long blow drying every morning
It's not ideal if:
— You want to go dramatically straighter (there are better options for that — come and talk to us)
— You've had a very recent colour treatment (we'll advise timing in your consultation)
THE HONEST BIT ABOUT MAINTENANCE
You'll need sulphate-free shampoo. Non-negotiable. Sulphates strip keratin fast and cut your results short.
We stock Davroe and Original & Mineral in the salon and BKT have there own range too which we can help youi with —All sulphate-free and bloody excellent. We'll sort you out before you leave.
Avoid salt water and chlorine for the first couple of weeks. We know. Timing your BKT around a beach holiday is a thing. Come and chat to us about it.
HOW LONG DOES THE APPOINTMENT TAKE?
Usually 3 to 4 hours depending on your hair length and thickness.
You sit. We apply. We process. We blow dry and flat iron to seal it in. You leave looking like a different person.
Worth every minute.

Bleach and Blonde Specalist’s in Sydney’s Inner West. Stevie English Hair Glebe.
Asian bleach blonde is hard. But not here at Stevie English Hair
Stevie did this colour with bleach and toned with ecoheads
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════
Sydney's bleach specialists are In Glebe. Yes, really!
Bleach is the most misunderstood thing in hairdressing.
Done badly? Your hair snaps off. Goes orange. Feels like straw.
Done well? It's honestly magic.
We do it well.
And we do it right here in Glebe, inner west Sydney. 153 Glebe Point Rd to be exact.
BLEACH IS A SKILL. NOT EVERYONE HAS IT.
At Stevie English Hair we've been lightening and bleaching hair for nearly 20 years.
That means we know:
- How much your hair can actually handle in one sitting
- When to stop (this is the bit most salons get wrong)
- When to say "not today — your hair needs a break first"
- How to get you to bright, clean blonde WITHOUT destroying your hair in the process
That last one. THAT'S the one that matters.
THE PROBLEM WITH BAD BLEACH JOBS
We see them every single week.
Clients who went somewhere cheap. Clients who tried it at home. Clients who trusted someone who said "yeah I can do that" — without actually being able to do that.
The result?
Breakage. Banding. Patchy, uneven colour. Hair that snaps when you brush it. Orange. SO much orange.
We fix colour corrections in Sydney every week. No judgment.
But come to us first next time. Seriously.
WHAT GOOD BLEACH ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
Clean. Even. Healthy.
A blonde that doesn't look like you've been through a rough time.
We use O&M colour. Ammonia-free. PPD-free. Australian made. Bloody excellent.
We also use K18 throughout the lightening process. IT MAKES A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE to the condition of your hair before, during and after.
Listen to your hairdresser when they say you need this at home!
Your hair should feel better coming out than going in. That's the standard we work to at our Glebe salon.
WE'RE BASED IN GLEBE. INNER WEST SYDNEY.
153 Glebe Point Rd.
Not the CBD. Not Bondi. Not a shopping centre.
A terrace in Glebe that's been doing exceptional hair since 2007.
Turns out the best bleach work in Sydney is happening right here in the inner west. We're as surprised as you are.
(We're not surprised.)
Home of 5X Australian Colourist of the Year. Judged internationally. From a terrace on Glebe Point Rd.
WHO WE DO BLEACH FOR
Whether you're after:
- A full scalp bleach from root to tip
- Balayage or freehand lightening
- Foils — half head, full head, baby lights
- A colour correction after someone else's bleach disaster
- Your first time going blonde and you're nervous
We're the inner west's go-to blonde and bleach specialists. And we can prove it.
THE BORING TRUTH ABOUT BLEACH
Bleach is a chemical process. BLAH BLAH BLAH. You know this.
What you might not know: the difference between a great result and a disaster is usually not the bleach itself. It's the person holding the brush.
Their timing. Their judgement. Their knowledge of YOUR specific hair — its history, its condition, how it's going to respond.
That's what nearly 20 years of experience gets you.
Stevie says drink negronis and tequila only. He is bald and English. His bleach knowledge is however second to none.
COME IN.
First appointment? Book a consultation. It's FREE
We'll look at your hair in natural light, talk through what you want, tell you honestly what's possible and what it'll cost.
No orange. No straw. No drama.

This one’s for the women who actually know what they want.
We see you. . .
And we know who you are. You’re not scrolling instagram at midnight looking for hair inspiration . You’re not asking for “whatever’s trending”
you know what suits you. You know what doesn’t . You have earned that.
You are professional. You work hard. You’ve got a life. You dont have time or money to waste.
AND YET
Most sydney salons are marketing to someone half your age, Editorial shoots with 19 years olds.
We have and we do shoot , we have pink hair models ,heavy bleach looks… that belong on a runway , or a hairdressing company’s promotional material.
But to me this means we can and we can show you how skilled we are . We have the skill sets to push any hair .
WHERE ARE YOU IN ALL OF THAT?
We see you. Because you sit in our chairs every single day.
The lawyer who needs her colour to work as hard as she does.
The real estate agent who’s hair has to look like the listings she is showing. (expensive)
The business owner who wants to look expensive without trying too hard.
The woman who's been on the root touch-up treadmill for 15 years and is DONE.
The one who wants to go grey — but do it properly. Not accidentally.
That's our client. That's who we do our best work for
"My colour doesn't suit my skin anymore."
This is the big one. And it's completely real.
As skin tone shifts — and it does, for everyone — the colour that looked brilliant at 38 can start to look harsh. Flat. Wrong. The colour hasn't changed. Your skin has.
The fix isn't automatically going lighter. It's about warmth. Soft caramels. Honey tones. Colour that reflects light back onto your face instead of pulling it away.
We look at your skin first. Always.
"I'm sick of being back in the chair every 5 weeks." (we do try and push hair out longer)
We hear this CONSTANTLY.
The regrowth treadmill is exhausting. And expensive.
Grey blending, balayage, root softening — these are all techniques designed to give you a longer stretch between appointments without ever looking like you've let things go.
Most of our clients in this age group come back every 10–14 weeks. Not 5.
That's less time in the chair and more time drinking negronis. Everyone wins.
"I had a bad experience somewhere else."
Colour corrections are our speciality.
Brassiness. Breakage. Colour that went wrong at another salon or — and we won't judge — at home. K18 will be your best friend!
We fix this every single week. No judgment. Just a proper consultation and a plan.
"I want to look like myself. Just better."
This is honestly our favourite brief.
Not dramatic. Not trendy. Not "whatever everyone else is doing."
Just you — but the best version. Colour that suits your skin, your life, your personality. A cut that works on day one AND day seven.
That's what we do.
WHY STEVIE ENGLISH HAIR SPECIFICALLY?
A few things worth knowing.
We've been in Glebe since 2007. Nearly 20 years. We're not going anywhere. (Unlike some salons that opened after COVID and disappeared before you could rebook.)
Stevie is 5X Australian Colourist of the Year. The team has national and international titles. We compete at the highest level of this industry globally. Yes — globally. From a terrace in Glebe.
Stevie is also English and bald. He gives exceptional hair advice despite the irony. We think that's funny. ;)
We use O&M colour. Ammonia-free. PPD-free. Australian made. If you've had reactions to colour in the past — come and talk to us before you give up on colour entirely. MAKES A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE for sensitive scalps.
We are a certified Sustainable Salon. Been doing this properly for years. Not as a trend. Because it's the right thing.
The team is brilliant. All trained by Stevie. Which means trained to the standard of 5X Australian Colourist of the Year — without necessarily Stevie's price tag if that suits your budget better.
THE BORING TRUTH
Drink water. Eat well. Exercise. BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Stevie says negronis and tequila only. not necessarily together. He is bald so technically he has nothing to lose.
Use good products. We love Original & Mineral, K18, Davroe and DunGud. Sulphate free, clean and bloody excellent. Not the supermarket stuff. We know it's cheap. So is a bad colour job — until you have to pay someone to fix it.
OK. HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY COME IN?
Glad you asked.
Option 1 — Book online. stevieenglish.com.au. Takes 2 minutes. Less time than you've spent reading this.
Option 2 — Call us. 1300 696 958. An actual human will answer. Probably with good music playing in the background.
First time? Book a consultation. It's FREE. No obligation. No hard sell. No weird pressure to buy products you don't need.
We'll look at your hair in natural light, talk about what you actually want, and tell you honestly what's possible and what it'll cost.
No surprises. No waffle. Just a plan.
And if you decide we're not right for you — no hard feelings. But we probably are.
We've been doing this in Glebe since 2007. We've seen it all. Fixed most of it.

Let’s talk about the trophies.
Not to brag. But because nobody ever explains what they actually mean… And i how hard they are to get!
There’s a wall in our Glebe salon. On it — over 15 national titles. Over 50 state titles. International wins from the UK, Spain and the USA. A Medal of Honour. A One Shot trophy. 2 Big Shot trophy’s.
SO WHAT ARE THESE AWARDS?
The two big ones are the AHIA and the AHFA. These are NOT people’s choice awards. NOT Instagram popularity contests. NOT voted on by clients clicking a link.
mel and Stevie won
Judged by international experts from the UK, Europe and the USA. People at the very top of this industry globally. To win? You have to be better than everyone else in the country in that year. We’ve done that over 15 times nationally.
THE MEDAL OF HONOUR. THIS ONE IS SPECIAL.
In 2024 the AHIA introduced the Medal of Honour — for hairdressers who win the same national category THREE YEARS IN A ROW. Stevie got one. Master Colourist of the Year. Three years straight. MAKES A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE knowing your colourist has that.

BUT IT’S NOT JUST STEVIE.
Ella, Harrison, Leanne, Joey, Paulo — all nationally recognised. This is a salon where excellence is the standard from the top of the team to the apprentices just starting out.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER TO YOU?
Not ego. Evidence. When you sit in our chair in Glebe you’re getting colour done by people who are obsessed with the craft. Right here in the inner west. WINNERS for a reason . We can collour hair.

Hair Colour Specialists in Sydney
If you’re searching for a hair colour specialist in Sydney, you’re probably not looking for “just a change.”
You’re looking for:
A blonde that doesn’t snap off
A brunette that doesn’t turn red
A grey blend that looks intentional
Or a colour correction that fixes someone else’s mistake
Hair colour isn’t just about what looks good on Instagram.
It’s chemistry. Structure. Tone. Skin undertones. Maintenance planning.
Healthy Hair in Glebe.
How do you know if your hair is healthy ?
Soft but strong . Your hair feels smooth with out snapping
Natural shine: It reflects light evenly, not just from products.
Easy detangling: Healthy hair resists breakage and brushes out smoothly.
Colour that lasts: When hair is strong, colour holds longer and looks fresher.
How to Get It.
We use professional products . All Stevie English Hair team train in products .
We mostly use Australian haircare Like Original&Mineral Davro and Dun Gud . Which are sulphate free clean and bloody cool
We do use K18 as its the best for hair AND WE LOVE IT
Use professional shampoo and conditioner tailored to your colour and texture. See above
Book regular trims — split ends travel fast. Book appointment
Add moisture and protein treatments to your routine. MAKES A MASSIVE DIFFRFENCE!
Protect from heat and UV to stop damage before it starts. Heat bounce from K18
The boring truth .
Drink water , eat healthy , exercise. BLAH BLAH BLAH and genetics play a major part.
Stevie says you can drink negroni’s only to help (but remember he is bold)
