02 Client stories
Loved by our clients.
Real reviews from real people.
“Iām 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 ā my hair is so much more manageable and looks great. He also gave me a lovely restyle that Iām really happy with. Everyone at the salon is lovely, friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Iām really happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!”
“Alan and his team are phenomenal, always pleasant and welcoming. Honesty along with professionalism is what you can expect. Have been a happy client for many years now.”
“Very happy with the Guava Keratin hair straightening. Thank you Guru!”
“I will be coming back thank you for the fringe hair cut it was lovely Miranda”
“Absolutely awesome experience!!!, the ladies there worked really well as a team and Miranda coordinated my appointment very efficiently, Crystal provided a very thorough wash and extremely relaxing scalp massage, Miranda was extremely knowledgable and helpful, I tend to find hair salons very awkward, however, Miranda has shown her extraordinary people skills and was able to find a topic to connect and engage me during the haircut, final product, blown away with this haircut, I went in unsure with what style I was comfortable with but Miranda was extremely understanding and was able to use her expertise to give me a few ideas and narrow down a few options which I really appreciate, by far the best Hair appointment experience I've ever had, 100% would reccomend to a friend, Awesome stuff guys, Thanks Miranda you're a true expert in the art of hairdressing, if i could give more than five stars I would! ššš”
“Made the booking online, I was greeted warmly by the stylist she advised she was running behind and if I would prefer to wait or she had another stylist Guru free, and if I didn't mind he can do my hair. I was more than happy for Guru to do my hair, he was very attentive and an adept hair artist...”
“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!”
“Cathy has been cutting and colouring my hair for many years. Itās great to have a hair stylist that you trust and a salon thatās so friendly. All the staff are fabulous. Loved the head massage from Bella last weekš”
“I came to Scanlon Hair the first time to see Miranda as a model for menās cuts. When it comes to my hair iām EXTREMELY picky. So much so that every time i leave any other barbershop or hairdresser, i find myself disappointed in something. Being as picky as i am, i was a bit nervous coming in to see someone that didnāt really specialise in menās cuts. To my surprise, Miranda NAILED IT! Not a single thing for me to nitpick. Iāve been seeing Miranda every fortnight for the last 8 months or so. Every single time without fail i leave with a big smile on my face, and looking better than what i did when i stepped in. Miranda is consistent with her progress and never fails to impress me. The team at Scanlon Hair is always as welcoming as possible. The customer service is unmatched and you can tell the team are like family. Wouldnāt go anywhere else for anything regarding my hair, advice, and products. Highly recommend!!”
“I had my hair done last week and all the girls were so friendly and knowledgeable, I'm really happy with my colour and cut and would definitely recommend a visit.”
“Miranda and team was super friendly and had the patience to understand and listen what I wanted. Thank you for my new look.”
“These Ladies are amazing. I manage to get my elderly Mum in for a regular appointment and she just loves the experience. She's welcomed warmly and always walks out feeling fantastic! Always a pleasure to deal with, very proud of locals doing a great job. Big thank you Ladies š”
“I donāt normally leave google reviews but I couldnāt not say how happy iām with this place and their service. I have been to the hair salon for the first time last week. I have a very curly and frizzy hair and Sam did a fantastic job in cutting my hair, straightening it and styling it. She was very patient, she listened to all my concerns and did her best to make my hair the best it could be. I couldnāt be happier with my hair and how they made me feel about it. Thanks to the team and special thanks to Sam! Highly recommended. Iāll definitely be back again :)”
“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 ā 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 theyāll have me, Iāll definitely be back!! :)”
“Friendly and professional team of hairdressers, who always take care and pride in their work. They get my hair colour on point everytime!”

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.
