02 Client stories
Loved by our clients.
Real reviews from real people.
“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”
“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!”
“Very happy with the Guava Keratin hair straightening. Thank you Guru!”
“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++”
“I will be coming back thank you for the fringe hair cut it was lovely Miranda”
“My hair and I are very happy. I was serviced by Guru, who listened to what I wanted and gave me the correct advice. Will definitely return!”
“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!”
“Very good place for a hair cut. The prices are fair and the staff are amazing. They also have an online booking system which is really good.”
“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!”
“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 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 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.”
“Amazing experience, so happy with the service and results. Thank you so much Scanlon Team”
“I have been coming to this salon for over 3 years now. The staff are incredible with next level service, professionalism and passion. They all get involved to get the job done (and my rainbow colour usually require the whole team.) They are amazing with creative colour and, cutting, styling. To get the job done I've even had 4 of them working on my head at same time. They all seem to have fun at work, so that's got to show how much they love what they. Recommend the whole team!!!”

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. 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:
- 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.
