Hair salons in Balmain, at a glance

Most salons will cut and colour anyone's hair. The differences that matter are which hair types they see most, how long they allow per appointment, and whether they will tell you honestly when what you want is not achievable in one sitting.

What to look for

  • Look at what the salon is actually known for. A colour-led salon and a cutting-led salon are different businesses.
  • For a big change, look for somewhere that offers a consultation before the appointment rather than at the start of it.
