Finding the right hairdresser can take time. A great stylist needs to understand your hair, your lifestyle, the result you want and, just as importantly, how much maintenance you are prepared to commit to after leaving the salon.

Melbourne’s Bayside suburbs have an impressive concentration of independent hair salons, experienced colourists, blonde specialists, extension experts and long-established neighbourhood hairdressers. Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Black Rock and Beaumaris are particularly well represented.

For this 2026 guide, Brighton Savoy reviewed current salons across Bayside and nearby areas, looking at their current operating status, service range, specialist expertise, professional background, longevity, reputation and publicly available customer feedback.

Quick Answer: What Are the Best Hairdressers in Bayside Melbourne?

Some of the strongest hair salons in Bayside Melbourne include Kleoniki Hair in Hampton, Bailey & Co. Hair Salon in Black Rock, Enrique Hair in Brighton East, Avella Hair Brighton, Eran Benn Hair Salon, TONI&GUY Brighton, Luna Salon Brighton, Coco Colour Bar in Beaumaris, Amos Hair in Sandringham and Salon Monde in Brighton.

The best salon for you will depend on what you need. Some specialise in blondes and balayage, while others stand out for precision cutting, extensions, bridal styling, sustainable salon practices, men’s hair or long-established local service.

How We Selected the Best Bayside Hairdressers

This is an independent editorial guide. Brighton Savoy considered a combination of factors rather than simply ranking salons according to one online star rating.

• Current operating status and location
• Range of cutting, colouring and styling services
• Specialist expertise such as blondes, balayage, extensions or curly hair
• Professional training and industry experience
• Longevity and reputation within Melbourne’s Bayside suburbs
• Current customer-review signals across major platforms
• Evidence of ongoing training, specialist accreditation or recognised salon systems
• Quality and clarity of consultations, pricing information and booking options

Online ratings and review counts change constantly and should be treated as one signal rather than a definitive measure of quality. Prices, staff, services and opening hours can also change, so always confirm the details directly with the salon before booking.

Hairdressers Near Bayside Worth Considering

24. Karl of Switzerland – Southland, Cheltenham

Karl of Switzerland operates at Westfield Southland and offers styling, cutting and colouring. The major advantage is convenience for clients who prefer combining a salon appointment with shopping or other appointments at Southland.

Best Bayside Hairdressers by Service

Best Hairdressers for Blonde Hair and Balayage

Blonde hair is one of the most technically demanding areas of salon colour. Achieving the right degree of lift while protecting hair condition requires considerably more expertise than simply choosing a colour from a chart.

For blonde and balayage work, we would particularly consider Coco Colour Bar, Kleoniki Hair, Enrique Hair, Sabon Hair Lounge, Eran Benn Hair Salon, Hampton Hair Co and Hair by Maya.

Before booking a major blonde transformation, ask whether the quoted price includes toner, bond-building treatment, a haircut and blow-dry. These items are sometimes charged separately.

Best Hairdressers for Hair Extensions

Hair extensions can be used to add length, volume or both. The correct method depends on your existing hair density, condition, lifestyle and maintenance expectations.

Bailey & Co. Hair Salon is particularly strong in this area because it offers multiple extension systems. Head Rush, The Sandy Chair, SSH Hair, Sabon Hair Lounge, Coco Colour Bar, TONI&GUY Brighton and Eran Benn Hair Salon are also worth investigating.

A good extension consultation should include colour matching, an assessment of your natural hair, the quantity of hair required, ongoing maintenance intervals and the total cost of refitting or moving extensions over time.

Best Hairdressers for Men’s Haircuts

Men who want more than a basic clipper cut can benefit from choosing a salon stylist who regularly works with scissor cutting, texture, longer hairstyles and styling advice.

TONI&GUY Brighton is particularly strong for structured and precision cutting, while Salon Monde, Sabon Hair Lounge, Hampton Hair Co, Sansal, Scizzorworks, Chocolate Blonde, Dame Salon and Coco Colour Bar also provide men’s hairdressing services.

Best Hairdressers for Bridal and Special Occasion Hair

Bayside is home to a large wedding industry, and several salons provide bridal or event styling in addition to everyday hairdressing.

Chocolate Blonde is a particularly convenient option because bridal hair and makeup are both available. Kleoniki Hair, Sabon Hair Lounge, Eran Benn, Salon Monde and Hampton Hair Co also offer formal, wedding or event styling.

If you are planning wedding hair, ask about trials, travel fees, early-morning surcharges, minimum bridal-party numbers and whether the stylist can attend your getting-ready location.

How to Choose the Right Hairdresser in Bayside

Start With the Service You Actually Need

A salon that is excellent at precision cutting is not automatically the best choice for platinum blonde colour correction, curly hair or extensions. Identify your main priority first, then look for a stylist who regularly performs that service.

Book a Consultation for Major Changes

A consultation is particularly important before colour correction, significant lightening, extensions or a dramatic restyle. A good stylist should assess your existing hair condition, discuss realistic outcomes and explain how many appointments may be required.

Ask What the Quoted Price Includes

Colour prices are not always directly comparable. A salon may quote foils separately from toner, treatments, cutting and blow-drying. Ask for an estimated total before the service begins.

Consider Maintenance, Not Just the First Appointment

Before choosing a colour, ask how often you will realistically need to return. A beautiful result that requires appointments every four weeks may not suit your budget or lifestyle.

Take Reference Photos

Words such as blonde, caramel, layers, short or natural can mean different things to different people. Two or three photographs showing what you like are usually more useful than a long verbal description.

Be Open About Your Hair History

Tell your colourist about previous bleach, permanent colour, box dye, keratin treatments, henna or other chemical services. Hair history affects what can safely be achieved.

Ask About Patch or Sensitivity Testing

If you have a history of reactions to hair colour or are trying a new colour system, discuss sensitivity testing with the salon before your appointment.

How Much Does a Hairdresser Cost in Bayside Melbourne?

Prices vary considerably according to the salon, stylist seniority, hair length, thickness and complexity of the service.

As a broad guide in 2026, a professional women’s cut and finish at an established Bayside salon can commonly sit around the $90 to $155+ range. Men’s salon cuts are frequently around $45 to $70+.

Colour varies much more widely. Foils, balayage and blonde transformations can run into several hundred dollars once toner, treatments, cutting and styling are included. Major colour corrections and extension services are often individually quoted following a consultation.

For example, current published salon menus in Bayside show that a premium cut at some salons can exceed $120, while full-head highlights or balayage can move well above $250 before every add-on is included.

Always ask for a personalised quote before a major colour or extension appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best hairdresser in Bayside Melbourne?

There is no single best salon for every client. For a strong premium all-round option, Kleoniki Hair in Hampton is one of our leading choices. Bailey & Co. stands out in Black Rock, Enrique Hair is particularly strong for technically considered colour in Brighton East, and TONI&GUY Brighton is a strong option for precision and fashion-led cutting.

Which Bayside hairdressers specialise in blonde hair?

Coco Colour Bar specifically positions itself as a blonde specialist. Kleoniki, Enrique Hair, Sabon Hair Lounge, Hair by Maya and several other salons in this guide also have significant blonde, highlighting and balayage expertise.

Where can I get balayage in Brighton?

Brighton options include Enrique Hair, TONI&GUY Brighton, Eran Benn Hair Salon and Sabon Hair Lounge. Always arrange a consultation if you are making a major change from dark hair to blonde.

Which Bayside salons offer hair extensions?

Bailey & Co., Head Rush, The Sandy Chair, SSH Hair, Sabon Hair Lounge, Coco Colour Bar, TONI&GUY Brighton and Eran Benn Hair Salon are among the salons in this guide offering extension services or consultations.

Which Bayside hairdresser is good for curly hair?

SSH Hair is worth investigating because members of its team specifically identify curly-hair expertise. For significant curl reshaping, ask for the stylist who works most frequently with your particular curl pattern rather than simply booking the first available appointment.

Which Bayside salon is good for bridal hair?

Chocolate Blonde offers both bridal hair and makeup, making it a convenient choice. Kleoniki, Sabon Hair Lounge, Eran Benn, Salon Monde and Hampton Hair Co also offer wedding, formal or event hairstyling.

Are there hairdressers in Bayside open on Sundays?

Sunday trading is less common among independent Bayside salons. Eran Benn Hair Salon currently advertises Sunday opening. Salon hours can change, particularly around public holidays, so confirm directly before travelling.

Should I book a consultation before balayage or blonde colouring?

Yes, particularly for major changes. A consultation allows the colourist to assess your natural level, existing colour, porosity and condition before determining what is achievable in one session.

How often does balayage need to be maintained?

One advantage of a well-designed balayage is softer regrowth than traditional highlights. Maintenance depends on the look, but many clients can leave longer intervals between major lightening appointments while using toners or gloss services between visits.

How do I know whether a hairdresser is good at colour correction?

Ask how regularly the stylist performs corrections, whether a consultation is compulsory and whether they can explain the likely stages before starting. A responsible colourist may recommend achieving your desired result across several appointments rather than promising an unrealistic same-day transformation.

Final Thoughts

Bayside Melbourne has an unusually strong range of hairdressers, from large premium salons to independent specialists who work one-on-one with their clients.

If you are simply maintaining an existing cut, convenience and your relationship with an individual stylist may matter most. For blondes, colour correction, extensions or a major restyle, specialist experience becomes much more important.

Our strongest advice is to choose a salon based on the service you actually need, book a consultation for significant changes and confirm the complete likely price before work begins.
