02 Client stories
Loved by our clients.
Real reviews from real people.
“I’m so glad I discovered Scanlon hair and my wonderful hairdresser Guru. I have boofy, unruly and quite coarse hair, so it was great to have someone who really understood my hair type and could give me honest advice and recommendations. He suggested nanoplasty, which has turned out amazingly — my hair is so much more manageable and looks great. He also gave me a lovely restyle that I’m really happy with. Everyone at the salon is lovely, friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I’m really happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!”

“First time at a new saloon, guru did an amazing job, understanding what kind of haircut I was looking for and explaining what he was doing and why. Will definitely be getting my haircut from guru next time.”

“Miranda did an excellent job cutting and styling my hair. She even offered to let me come back for adjustments if I wasn’t happy with how it looked after a couple of weeks (but this was not required) . That level of service is admirable and unlike anything I've received in the past.”

“As someone with virgin hair and having my hair coloured for the first time, I was very relieved to get it done by the amazing team at Scanlon Hair. Special shout-out to Miranda for talking me through the process of my hair colouring. Not only was she knowledgeable at her job but she provided a comfortable and safe experience. The team welcomed my friends and I with a warm service filled with smiles and drinks. Looking forward to having another appointment with them in the future!”

“I met Cathy and her beautiful staff soon after I moved to North Strathfield (3 years ago) & have been coming since. They’re haircut & colouring experts and super kind people too. I recently started bringing my 3 year-old daughter and she’s delighted as well :)”

“Amazing hair salon and wonderful staff. They took really good care of my hair catering to me and making me feel very comfortable I would highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back to this place, thank you so much Rose for taking care of my hair I really appreciate it.”

“I was so incredibly impressed by Scanlon hair. I wanted to get some colour work done on my hair but had never been completely happy with the results at other salons. I initially booked a consultation where Cathy and Miranda assessed my hair, they were fantastic and I felt very comfortable booking my next appointment. I’ve never been so happy leaving a salon after a balayage session. Cathy and Bella took time and care to understand what I wanted, made me feel comfortable and talked me through the process. Bella as an emerging stylist is one to keep an eye on, she’s going to do incredible things. A wonderful salon run by wonderful people.”

“I have been coming to Scalone for many years for cuts, Styles,and for every special occasion with my family, all the ladies are amazing and professional,always giving the advice you need for your hair. 11/10 for service and professionalism.”

“I've been attending Scanlon hair for years now and I keep coming back because the staff are excellent. Kath and the team always roll with whatever creative idea we try out, and my hair is healthy and happy despite me wanting to dye it a different colour every time I visit. It's also fantastic seeing the apprentices be so well supported and become confident hairdressers in their own right. Miranda and Georgia do excellent work and it's great getting to know the whole team, especially when a hair idea draws the whole salon in to watch its execution play out.”

“First visit : Had an amazing experience here last weekend. Left feeling the best Ive felt leaving a hairdresser in years!! Came in asking for a particular style to achieve a particular look. The awesome hairstylist and the owner came to discuss the look – and I walked out with something SO much better and EXACTLY what I was hoping to achieve at the end of the cut - real experts!! (And they didn't leave me sitting in the salon for hours and hours). These guys are excellent .. and if they’ll have me, I’ll definitely be back!! :)”

05 Questions
Everything you need to know.
Questions about booking, services, or what to expect? We have answered the most common ones below.
Absolutely. We offer consultations over the phone or face to face in salon. Consultations are complimentary but must be booked in advance. A face to face consultation is much more effective and is what we prefer.
We recommend a consultation if you have never had your colour done with us before, especially if you are considering a big colour change or a colour correction. We also encourage existing clients to book one when thinking about a significant change.
A consultation gives us the opportunity to assess your hair, discuss your requirements, and make sure we can deliver the service you are after, with the correct services and the right amount of time in your appointment. Bring inspiration images if you have them; they give us a great starting point and help us understand your goals.
Consultations can be booked online or by calling the salon.
We have partnered with L'Oreal Professionnel for over 25 years and use their Majirel, iNOA, Dia Color, Dia Light and Blond Studio product ranges to deliver our services.
We offer a full range of colouring and lightening services including global colour, foil highlights, balayage and toning. We work closely with L'Oreal education so that our team are up to date with the latest products and techniques. Cathy, our creative director, has completed L'Oreal's Color Degree, their highest professional qualification.
A balayage service is customised for the individual, so it is not possible to give a single answer. The time depends on the length and thickness of your hair, the toning service required, and whether you are adding a treatment, cut, or styling. If your hair is already coloured or in poor condition, that can also significantly affect what is achievable and how long it takes. As a guide, for a balayage with a toner and styling you should expect to be in the salon for 3 to 5 hours.
It depends on the complexity of the appointment and how flexible you are in terms of day, time, or stylist. We generally have appointment slots available within a week, but for a full head of foils with a specific stylist on a popular evening you might need to book six weeks in advance. Wednesday and Thursday evenings, and Saturdays tend to be our busiest times. Our online booking system also has a waitlist and we encourage clients to use it, as cancellations do open up slots regularly.
If you are considering colour for the first time, or it has been a long time since your last colour, the best starting point is a free consultation with one of our stylists. We offer consultations over the phone or in person at the salon. An in-person visit is ideal so we can properly assess your hair, understand your goals, and walk you through your options.
A few things to think about before your consultation:
- Maintenance: how frequently do you want to visit the salon, and how much time are you happy to spend? Some colours need refreshing every 6 weeks, others only once or twice a year.
- Budget: higher-maintenance colours need more regular appointments, so it is worth considering the ongoing cost.
- Allergies: let us know of any sensitivities that may affect which products we can use.
- Home care: what will be required to maintain the colour and condition of your hair between visits?
The salon is located at 201 Concord Road, North Strathfield in Sydney's Inner West, about 12km west of the CBD. Drivers can reach us via Parramatta Road (or the M4) east-to-west, or Concord Road north-to-south. Parking is available behind the salon in Clermont Lane (2 hours) and on surrounding streets including Clermont Avenue, Davidson Avenue and Waratah Street (unrestricted). Note that Concord Road itself has very limited parking and a clearway operates from 3pm to 7pm. By public transport, North Strathfield train station is a 5 minute walk away, and buses 458, 459 and 251 stop directly outside the salon on Concord Road.
