Way-cool hair salon |

Groovy black and white 60s floor tiles, faux-fur chairs to recline in while you are getting shampooed and snipped, and velour chaise lounges in the waiting area--trad, Dad, it is. Off the beaten track, but only just (a five-minute walk from King Street), this is a whole lot cooler than anything even too-funky, bohemian Newtown has to offer. Better yet, the prices mean even starving artists can afford a trad new look. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hair and body art |
Shop 3 265 Castlereagh Street Sydney, NSW 2000 Australia +61 (0)2 9264 5953 |

Plus they do a great traditional men's hot towel razor-shave. This is also the place to buy Afro-hair treatments including straighteners. The salon is pretty funky, as are the staff and the central location makes it a good place for a lunchtime snip! Review © 2007, Wcities |
