About us

Hair Retreat

From our first meeting we strive to offer 110% every time! A free hair consult, where we listen to what you want, followed by a friendly, passionate and dedicated service. No one knows your hair better than you and with all our individual hairdressers we have a personality that is guaranteed to suit everyone. Unbeknown to many we even have staff that specialise in pensioner blow waves, setting and perming. IF we do misinterpret your hair dreams and get it wrong we pride ourselves on being approachable so you can feel free to let us know. We would be disappointed if you didn’t!

We love our staff, we love our clients and we wouldn’t do anything to your hair that we wouldn’t be happy walking out with ourselves. We have an amazing range of hair care products including Eleven Australia and NAK Hair Australia. Both being Australian companies offering cruelty free, paraben free recyclable packaged products, offering a range of vegan friendly options as well.

In a small, modest building that has been a salon for more than 55 years we are waiting for you to come and join our fun! We promise with our relaxed, inclusive and affordable service you’ll never want to leave the Hair Retreat family. Your hair is your best accessory, let us help you accentuate that!

Meet our staff

Jess

A passionate hairdresser of 12 years, and after having worked in Hair Retreat for many years prior has now been the salon owner for 4 years. Jess has a very artistic flair when it comes to hair and loves all things blondes, balayage and texture. Let’s be honest Jess generally loves most things hair but for those of you who know her Jess really loves talking!! Definitely not our quietest stylist. Jess believes hair is your best accessory and if it’s not done well or how you like it it can ruin your day. Jess’ goal is to make sure everyone enjoys the time they spend in the salon, have a bit of fun and a laugh and get amazing hair while doing it.

Marg

Been a hairdresser for 43 years and counting! How has she stayed in the industry so long you may ask? Marg loves the satasification of making her clients happy with every creation of a new or improved style. Marg specializes in wavy hair cutting, “this was something I was given the opportunity to be taught by some very talented hairdressers”. Marg is also one of our perming gurus she loves that you can see a vast difference from straight to curly! Fun fact about Marg she was the owner of this very salon for 27 years and has been walking through the door here for 39 years!

Kyra

From the age of 4 the signs were there that Kyra was destined to be a hairdresser, whenever she had the opportunity to go to the salon with her mum, she was sweeping floors and trying to help shampoo client’s hair. Fast forward to now and she not only shampoos incredible but delivers beautiful results for her clients in a range of services. On the path to becoming a graduate hairdresser through TAFE Kyra knew she wanted to do hair and having heard from her teacher she was so passionate and talented we just had to steal her out of that course and make her part of our team. Kyra is a talented stylist with a particular passion for colouring and balayage, but her main goal is making her clients feel beautiful. She may need to sit your chair all the way to the floor but our 4ft 11 pocket rocket sure does deliver!

Riki

Riki has been part of Hair Retreat for over 10 years! Starting at the salon as a regular and loyal guest fast forward to now and Riki is one of our very talented emerging stylists. We were so lucky with Riki that she just fell into place when we needed her, however she had to convince us that she actually wanted to do hairdressing after all her years having a successful nursing career. That she did and then she took the plunge! Riki continues to impress, as her passion now is learning and mastering all the technical aspects of hairdressing.
