Published August 22nd 2011
There are some fabulously stylish haircuts walking around Melbourne, and we figure that they must have had their hair cut somewhere. We want to know where. We're looking for Melbourne's best hair salons, because we want to put an end to stylists who don't understand the word 'trim', and to the colourists who use Taylor Momsen as their inspiration. We've got a few ideas as to where you can get a good styling, but if you've found a place where the cuts and colours are just divine, make sure you let us know about it.



Lure are a creative hairdressing salon in Fitzroy, and their main focus is to deliver great style in a fun environment. They'll find you a stylist based on whether you're looking for a feminine or masculine cut, or can completely restyle your do. These guys offer cheap cuts if all you need to do is touch up your fringe, and they also offer a 10% discount to students. They're fun and funky, but are they the best?

Fitzroy is a popular place because this is also where you'll find Cream Melbourne, who claim to be "innovative, fun and totally cool." They're about creating stylish cuts, and natural vibrant looking colours, but if it is something wild and out there that you're after they'll be able to do that too. Make sure you ask them about their $25 off promotion for first time clients. These two aren't the only Fitzroy salons, BIBA also have a Fitzroy salon but there are still others scattered all over Melbourne.

If you love BIBA then you've got over 10 locations to choose from when selecting your favourite spot. They are a creative lot with a focus on hair design. If you're in a bit of a rut then maybe BIBA is the place to go to help reinvent and rejuvenate your hair. Could their creative styles and BIBA hair academy be enough to have them named Melbourne's best hair salon?

Shibui are a hair salon that aren't focussed on creating tower tall looks from off the runway, but on creating a natural, simple, and subtle look that suits you best. They endeavour to create looks that will keep looking great day after day, not only after you've salon grade styling session. Are their low fuss looks what keep you coming back?

So spill your secrets, and let us know where you think we'll find Melbourne's best hair salon. We're open to horror stories too, whether it was that haircut that made you cry or the colour that just never looked right. Let us know what you look for in a good hair stylist, and which salon in Melbourne delivers this best.

I went to shibui 2 weeks ago and liked it. They did a fantastic cut but my colour was a little darker than originally discussed. Staff were friendly and great. Overall, 7 out of 10

I have been getting my hair cut (and coloured in previous years) by Julia who's now opened Respekt Your Hair right near Windsor station. She does fantastic cuts and truly stunning colours... and she's lovely to boot!

Susihairko in Wattle Park, Vic is fabulous. I've been going to Susi for 5 years now and have always been very happy with the results and the fair pricing. Susi keeps up with fashion trends and can do anything from conservative to way out. Love Susihairko, including her fair pricing.
