If you were to ask us what our ideal beauty salon looks like, we'd send you a picture of The Fresco Complexion.
The instantly recognizable turquoise door on the corner of Riley Street belongs to Barney Martin’s original hair salon, which has been around nearly 15 years, making it something of an institution in the Sydney hair scene. And it's still so...
This Sydney salon combines the traditional (it's owned by siblings with three generations of hairdressers in the family) with the thoroughly modern (a percentage of each colour service is donated to charity).
If European interiors, neutral colour palettes and ultra-luxurious architecture sound like your cup of tea, look no further than Self.
From the treatment rooms to the aqua retreats (separated for men and women), this is next-level luxury.
A beachside studio that's small enough so that every student gets some attention, and thoughtful enough to provide a host of amenities (from towels and hair ties, to water and deodorant) to make your class extra special.
