Hair salons in Mackay, at a glance

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.
- Check how much upkeep the result needs before you commit to it.
- Long, thick or curly hair often carries a surcharge. Better salons say so upfront.

Common questions
- How far ahead should I book?
- A cut is usually available within a week or two. Colour with a specific colourist often runs three to six weeks ahead, and correction work longer again. If you have an event, book the appointment before you book anything else.
- Should I go to the most expensive salon I can afford?
- Not automatically. Price mostly reflects location, appointment length and seniority. A mid-priced salon that specialises in exactly your hair type will usually beat an expensive generalist.
