Real reviews from real people.
“I have been seeing my stylist Miranda here for over a year now, and as someone who was always iffy about cutting their hair and would go years without visiting salons, I now visit regularly and have never felt more confident in my hair. She has done fantastic work on my colour and I couldn’t be happier with my results, going from dark coloured hair to blonde. Highly recommend booking with her if you can!!”
“Bella was amazing! Loved my hair and whole experience was great.”
“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!”
“I did a style cut from long hair to a bob and Guru totally understood and delivered what I was hoping for! He also gave simple tips and was very friendly, Highly recommended”
“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”
“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!”
“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...”
“I got my hair done by Miranda and it’s the softest and smoothest my hair has ever felt! Matched the inspo pic and everything! Highly recommend Miranda”
“Miranda at Scanlon hair is a delight. I am always very happy with my hair and she dors an excellent job. I strongly recommend Scanlon Hair and Miranda”
“Cathy has been cutting and colouring my hair for many years. It’s great to have a hair stylist that you trust and a salon that’s so friendly. All the staff are fabulous. Loved the head massage from Bella last week👍”
“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.”
“Miranda and team was super friendly and had the patience to understand and listen what I wanted. Thank you for my new look.”
“Great staff, and service. Go there regularly to fix what I do to my hair!🤣”
“Scanlon has been my go-to for over 2 years now. Friendly staff and amazing service. Highly recommend!”

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. We also encourage existing clients to book one when thinking about a significant change.
Colour correction, vivid colour and scalp bleach aren't booked online. Call the salon and we'll find the right time with you.
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.
