Sydney is in New South Wales, on Australia's east coast, where summers are warm and humid, winters are mild and businesses keep to standard hours year-round with the usual public-holiday changes. Traffic in Sydney peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the unit or street number up to the suburb, state and four-digit postcode; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I had an amazing haircut and colour experience with Giovanna. She transformed my overdone, chunky blonde foils into a beautiful, natural-looking brunette with soft highlights that complement my features. She blended everything so seamlessly, leaving me with a much softer, healthier look. I love the result and couldnβt be happier. Iβll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Giovanna to anyone for colour / haircut

Jade has been looking after my hair for over six years now, and my hair has never looked or felt better! Jade is incredibly talented and always understands what I ask for. Every appointment experience is great. Thank you!

I recently got my hair done by Jayden, and honestly, I couldnβt be happier with how it turned out. From the start, he really listened to what I wanted and made sure he understood the style I was going for. He gave helpful suggestions too, which made the final result even better than I expected. The attention to detail was really noticeable β everything was clean, even, and styled perfectly. You can tell he takes pride in his work and knows exactly what heβs doing. The whole experience felt comfortable and professional, and I didnβt feel rushed at all. Overall, Iβd definitely recommend Jayden to anyone looking for a fresh, high-quality haircut. He did an amazing job, and Iβll for sure be going back next time.

I had a truly awful experience at this salon and feel obligated to warn others. I went in expecting a professional bleach service, but instead I left with a damaged scalp and badly compromised hair. The bleaching process was clearly mishandled β my scalp was left burning, irritated, and visibly inflamed. This wasnβt a minor issue; it felt like a chemical burn and caused significant discomfort for days. What made the situation even worse was the complete lack of accountability. When I raised my concerns, Giovanna dismissed the damage and refused to acknowledge that anything had gone wrong. There was no apology, no attempt to fix the issue, and no offer of a refund or compensation. A professional salon should prioritise client safety, proper technique, and aftercare β none of which were demonstrated here. Instead, I was left dealing with the physical consequences of poor workmanship and unprofessional customer service. I strongly advise anyone considering this salon to think twice before trusting them with bleach or any chemical treatment.

Jade was excellent listened to what I wanted and gave me a great cut. Salon is on third floor of the strand arcade which was a little tricky to find initially. Lovely clean salon.
