I realise that there has recently been a similar post for Northside hairdressers however I am ideally looking for someone based either in the Mawson/Fadden area (or if need be, the city).

I’m hoping to find someone who will do a half head of foils with a cut and style for under $200 – if that’s possible!

Any suggestions appreciated!

I have discovered Richardson hair studio , all the girls are great and reasonable prices but need to book in advance for their late night and sats as sometimes i have had last min moments

Thanks for all the great leads -much appreciated!

Hair Affair at Mawson is fantastic. Ask for Bianca or Jodie. You won’t be disappointed.Your hair and foils will be done exactly as you request.

I live in that area and have tried the Fadden shop, but was unhappy when they cut my hair too short. (I explicitly asked them to make sure it stayed long enough to put in a pony tail, since I work out at the gym 3-4 days a week. GRR – it took 9 months for the hair to grow back long enough).

I now use Antique Salon in the city. They have a gorgeous facility, serve crackers/nuts and tea or bubbly, the cuts and colour is great, they use natural and organic products (AVEDA), their products are made using wind and solar power — AND they are reasonably priced! A cut with a half head of foils will definitely be under $200. I’ve had a few friends go to them after hearing me rave (and seeing how nice my hair looks).

I can also recommend the Kambah hair centre. Either alysia or Kristy. I’ve been going there for years and have half head of foils and all over colour, cut and style for around $130.

My Mrs would 2nd this post, she always seems happy when she comes home from here, that could be because she was away from me for hours though

Hair by Charles in the City (Petrie Plaza), ask for Mel. Have been a regular customer for over a year, have long hair and I get a full head of foils with a cut and a style for ~$120. My hair always get complimented on as well afterward, and the style holds for a fair while as well.

$28 for man’s cut… No foils of course

Can’t help you sorry.

If you are willing to travel a few minutes, Cooleman Hair Centre is wonderful. They are cheap by comparison to those other uber cool places in town. I get a colour and a cut for about $120-150 depending on product used. Vanessa who owns/runs it is great, especially with the kids!

Not in Mawson or Fadden, and no idea half a head of foils costs, but Smitten in Tuggers is probably one of the best places I have ever been to. I used to frequent Cataldos in the city until I realised what a waste of money it was. The owner is Craig I think, and he does the best job, but never had a bad experience with anyone else there. They open late on quite a few evenings as well.

Trisha’s at Southlands. Can’t tell you how much they charge for a fancy ladies do, but I’ve always thought their prices were pretty reasonable – at least for a simple mens cut. Friendly staff too.
