Real reviews from real people.
“Have been back for my second visit and would recommend! Guru is excellent and I feel that I am in experienced hands for natural looking blonde foils and styling. I also appreciated the opportunity to call before my first visit to chat through options, timing and price. The other staff are all friendly and welcoming too!”
“There’s a reason this place has 5 stars and I experienced that for the first time today. I’ve tried 4 different places in concord and I’ve finally found my new hair salon I can go to regularly! Thank you Guru for looking after my hair with such care and skill. See you guys in 7 weeks for my next trim 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼”
“I've been coming to this salon for my blonde colour for years. Amazing. Very knowledgeable and lovely staff. Can't go wrong coming here. A++”
“Just had a great hair experience at Scanlon with hairstylist Guru who put my fears at ease and gave this tired mum a new refreshed look! Guru has a calming presence and knew what he was doing. Thanks - I'll be back again!”
“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.”
“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! 🙏😄👍”
“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!”
“Scanlon hair is a welcoming environment every time i walk in. i am always offered a beverage or tea upon arrival. i would like to thank Miranda for doing my last few haircuts, she does a brilliant job! i’m never disappointed with the outcome and i get many compliments when in social settings! Great Job!!”
“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.”
“The whole team at Scanlon hair are amazing. I have been going there for years for colour/cut/blow dry and also for up-styles for special events. I always leave very happy with my hair. Cathy in particular is the master of the perfect colour and cut.”
“Staff were very professional, they give you awesome suggestions what suits you the best. I did blow dry with them , I was so surprised to see my hair…It was so beautiful than ever. Definitely recommend this place for all kinds of hair services”
“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.”
“I don’t normally leave google reviews but I couldn’t not say how happy i’m 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 couldn’t be happier with my hair and how they made me feel about it. Thanks to the team and special thanks to Sam! Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be back again :)”
“Thank you so much Rose. You listened to me, then cut my hair short, exactly as I asked you to. So thankful to finally find a hair stylist who heard me. Lovely lady and GREAT salon. I will definately return. Highly recommended! 👍😀”
“After searching for a new salon for months I chose Scanlon Hair purely based on reviews and a gut feeling. What I found was a great salon with lovely staff. Everyone is kind, knowledgable and friendly. Every step is discussed with you in detail including a breakdown of cost. Rose is a STAR! She sat with me for an extended consultation (which I really appreciated) and worked on my hair with attention and patience. The entire session was filled with easy conversation and laughs. Not knowing what I wanted but simply wanting a change (as I was bored) Rose's vision turned out to be spot on. We have started on a hair transformation journey and I'm excited for the ride. Thank you!”
“Rose pays attention to detail and is on point when it comes to colour mixing I am always very satisfied with this service the hair experience is always well worth the 26km drive these ladies are professional courteous and great atmosphere Thank you always SCANLON for your service”

05 Questions
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:
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.
