Hairdressers ‘heaven sent’ for Tomic’s girl

OSTN Staff

Sierra, who copped flak after taking to social media to complain she couldn’t have her hair professionally washed as usual while holed up in hotel quarantine, had her auburn mane trimmed and styled at up-market Albert Park salon Ibiza on Saturday morning.Describing Sierra as “so, so sweet”, hairdresser and salon owner Michael Piastrino said she felt like a new woman when she left the salon.“She said we were just heaven sent,” Mr Piastrino said.

“She said ‘I feel fresh. I haven’t got hotel water, I’ve got Albert Park water in my hair’.”Mr Piastrino said he trimmed Sierra’s hair while a senior staff member blow dried and curled it.“She said ‘thank you so much’ and gave me a big hug at the end, she was just so lovely,” he said, adding he had sent her away with a goodie-bag full of hair products.“She’s going come in next week as well, every second day,” Mr Piastrino said.The hairdresser said he had reached out to Sierra, offering his services, via Bernard Tomic’s social media.

The tennis champ quickly replied, keen for Ibiza to “help out” his girlfriend.“He’s just a lovely guy and he said “thanks heaps’ … he was just so thankful,” Mr Piastrino said.When Sierra came into the salon “she was just so relaxed”, Mr Piastrino said.Regardless, she had been given a head massage for extra relaxation and, with dry hair after her quarantine experience, also a conditioning treatment, he said.More than 40 per cent of Ibiza Hair clients came in regularly just to have their professionally washed, blow waved and styled, making Sierra’s social media comments about her unwashed hair not at all shocking in hairdressing circles, Mr Piastrino said.“It’s very common for people to have that done,” he said.Sierra came under fire for a video clip she posted to social media, filmed from the hotel room where she was quarantining with Tomic ahead of the Australian Open, “complaining” about the state of her hair, which she did not usually wash herself.In a subsequent post, she said she had not been whingeing.“None of this is complaining – all I’m doing is showing you what it’s like to be in the bubble,” she said.
