I highly recommend the hair stylist, Victoria at Emma Dean Salon. I have natural, long, dark brown hair and therefore rely on an outstanding hair cut to add style, texture and detail to my hair. After years of searching for a hair stylist that is consistent, has an eye for detail and is creative with their hands, Victoria was finally the only stylist to be able to achieve this for me year after year. She cuts with passion, listens to her client and guides you based on her expertise always resulting in an even better cut than you imagined. Victoria is so versatile in her cutting skills and over the years has maintained styles for me, enhanced styles and guided me on latest trends for example most recently the ‘Butterfly Haircut’ - which I am absolutely loving. I know that Victoria is an exceptional colourist, specialising in blondes and balayage but at the core also a fantastic hair stylist and cuts my hair so perfectly, each time. If I was to ever go lighter, Victoria would be the one to do it for me. If you are looking for an amazing hair stylist, go and see Victoria at Emma Dean salon.

Tried Emma Dean as it was recommended to me when I was trying to find somewhere local. I rang to ask for who was best for a bronde colour and was told to fill out a form with photos etc and would be matched with who was best suited. Well I’m pretty sure I just got matched with a junior colourist with availability tbh. I asked for my roots to be done and a tone to freshen up. My hair is a bronde with highlights that blend really easily into my natural colour, and very maintainable. I usually only colour my hair once every 12 weeks. The stylist over highlighted my entire hair then over the course of five hours went too light, too dark and then finally a yellow/orange mess with a terrible root tint. It honestly looked like I did it myself. They offered to have the stylist’s manager (hair educator) fix it but I declined and went back to my old salon. Unfortunately my hair stylist said it’s going to be a big work in progress to fix it and get it back to what it was, which was very easily maintainable with no warmth. Overall a very bad experience and I will never recommend this salon.

Last 7th September 2022, I came to this salon for the first time. I had half inch off (trim). The salon has a lot of good selections of branded products which are displayed on the said shop. The staff are highly trained on what they do. what I love about this salon is that the staff are vigilant on every customer who comes in.. everyone makes sure that you are taken cared of. i wasn’t a paying client but I got a good service. one lady had her hair done.. she has her dog with her.. what impressed me was that the hairdresser did not only offer a drink for the client but also offer a drink for the dog.. I am a dog person and I really appreciate the kind gesture showed by the staff. the community must be so proud to have this place.. good service and great hair. i would definitely recommend this place. i had a complimentary braid after the trim.

I had keratin treatment with this salon and it was the worse keratin treatment I ever had( I had 3 keratins in the past). My hair was washed at the salon straight after applying keratin which I am not sure if it was the right thing as I was always told by my previous hairdressers that you need to wash your hair 3 days after keratin. Anyway... To be honest, it only lasted for 2-3weeks... After washing my hair 2 times, it's effect went away... I paid 375$ which is more expensive than many other places and no good results. I even used the shampoos that were given by the hairdresser. I think it could be because of either low-quality materials or washing the hair straight afterwards. I don't recommend this salon for keratin at all.

It was great to break lockdown by going back to Emma Dean's to see Bahar and have my hair seen to! These guys were great, they proactively contacted me to rescheduled by appointment which had been cancelled by lockdown, gave me clear info and reminders of what I'd need to be able to come for an appointment, and made the experience smooth and relaxing when I was there, PLUS they'd used the lockdown to get new hair wash chairs/massage etc so I had a great in chair massage! Thanks guys, really appreciate you and your effort to make the return to "normal" covid safe and enjoyable.

Emma Dean was recommended to me two years ago on my hunt for an amazing local hairdresser and I’ve loved them from my very first visit. All of the staff and stylists are just so genuine, lovely, experienced and talented. Wayne is an amazing colourist and an exceptional cutter as are all of the stylists. It’s such a warm and friendly space to relax and unwind always but particularly after lockdown when we all need some ‘me time’. I also love that they don’t force products on you at the end of the visit which so many hair salons do. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Had such an amazing experience here today! I had a root melt done to blend some foils that had harsh lines and Laura who did my hair did such a fab job! She was training and her eagerness to learn and get it right was inspiring. Ellie her trainer was so thorough in going through the consult with me and making sure my hair was right. These girls really know their stuff. The salon is gorgeous and airy with a really chill vibe and the basin chairs vibrate, what more could a girl ask for! Head massage was on point too. Love my new hair thank you! ❤️

The Emma Dean team are without a doubt the best in the business, with professionalism and expertise that is second to none! I've been seeing Sylvia for a number of years now, and trust her completely. Not only is she an incredibly talented hairdresser with skill that borderlines actual magic, but she always takes the time to listen to what's important to me for my hair . The salon itself is light and airy and has a great vibe. I know I'm guaranteed to walk in feeling welcomed, and walk out feeling amazing each and every visit!

The team at Emma Deane are without any doubt the best colourists, stylists and Haircare people in the entire city. Their kindness, their cheery spirits and their incredible expertise are priceless. I have been a client for three years now and the quality and exquisite results of the work of the entire team give me so much confidence - my originally thin and straggly hair is now healthy and gorgeous. Do yourself a favour, make an appointment, you’ll never go anywhere else. Rebecca

Victoria did an incredible job correcting a hair colour mishap from another salon. Despite my worries about the yellow/orange, unblended colour, she delivered exactly what I asked for. From the beginning, her professionalism put me at ease, explaining the correction process thoroughly. I left with a stunning colour and received compliments the minute I left the salon. Thanks, Victoria! I’m feeling confident again. Looking forward to my next appointment.

I've been seeing Wayne at Emma Dean for a good while now and he is a 10/10 legend and brilliant hair dresser. I've always been useless at explaining how I want my hair cut / what works well for my thin hair...Wayne just knows what to do without me really having to explain and always leaves me super happy with hair that is easy to manage and style. Lovely salon too. Nice high ceilings, relaxed yet professional vibe. Highly reccommend.

Such a great, easy and enjoyable experience. I was just after a simple hair cut and colour, it was so easy to book in. There were a fair few customers in the salon but the staff were all over it. Was seated straight away, had an understandable consultation and we were on our way. Cut and colour were great, no frills and no forceful product push when finished. The salon itself is spacious, clean and bright. I'll be coming back!

My first haircut today, back at Emma Dean, after 5 months of lock down! Thank you Ben! I am so happy with the cut and style. I’ve been going to Ben now for over 20 years, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The team at Emma Dean really care about their clients – whether it is by using or recommending the best hair products possible or having a chat and laugh to making you a cup of tea. It's a special salon to visit.

Emma Dean has both the best service and the best staff I've come across in Sydney so far! Bahar was so quick and professional with my trim and blow dry, which completely complimented the colour from my previous visit by Victoria. CJ is also so accomodating and helpful whenever I am in need of some hair revival! Highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a new place! Will continue to go back!

I highly recommend this salon. It was my first time to visit and all I can say is "i wish I discovered this place sooner". Bahar was my stylist and she was wonderful. I have quite tricky hair and she really knew how to work with my hair. My colour is also amazing. It is a beautiful salon and all the staff are extremely professional.

I have been going to Emma Dean Hair Stylists since their inception on Darling St Balmain. I keep going because I get a great cut and style. It is one of my greatest pleasures to have my hair looking neat and attractive. Can recommend both the salon and my stylist Ben. Can't say enough good things about my experience with them.

Wonderful, talented team of stylists. Without a doubt one of the best hairdressing salons in Sydney. So thrilled I have found Bahar and highly recommend this salon to all my friends. The owner CJ is an incredible operator and a very thoughtful genuine person- thank you to the team for always doing a wonderful job with my hair!

Highly recommend this wonderful salon if you are looking for a new trustworthy hairdresser. Everytime I come to this salon they make me feel so comfortable and I know I am in safe hands. Victoria cuts my hair perfectly every time and Bahar was so amazing and dyed my hair exactly how I wanted it. So happy I found these guys!

Got my hair done yesterday with the lovely Nellie for colour and blowdry. Once I explained what I was looking for and discussed what options would suit me best, I felt instantly comfortable. The colour itself was very natural and my hair feels so soft afterwards. An excellent experience, I will be back again for sure!

I wish I could give more stars! I absolutely love coming to Emma Dean Salon for all my hair treatments. Victoria understands what I want and delivers every single time. I can’t recommend her highly enough. The rest of the team are so lovely and welcoming. Do yourself a favour and book with these guys :)

I've been going to this salon for a while for both color and haircuts. Really have loved the results, the atmosphere, and how friendly the staff are. They're also very accommodating to schedules and I appreciated them offering to wear masks during Covid. Definitely my go-to salon!

Ben has been cutting my hair for years. He always knows what would be best, takes great care and does a beautiful job. Plus, he's excellent company. The salon is clean, comfortable, light and airy. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional.

I recently booked an appointment with Victoria for a colour and cut, she understood exactly what I wanted and I was very happy with the service provided at the salon. All the staff are so lovely and I would definitely recommend this salon.

So good to be back! Had a colour and a haircut today together with a cuppa and a good laugh. Fabulous team, professional and welcoming. I have been going to Ben for over 16 years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Merci!

Best hair salon around!!! Bahar is the greatest and always makes my hair exquisite #besthairdresser and Megan has a magical finishing touch she is so attentive and gives the salon the best vibe …

I highly recommend Emma Dean Salon. The team are highly skilled, professional, friendly and always provide fantastic results. Bahar is excellent at perfecting a fresh clean blonde every time. I love their work!

No more Covid hair! I had a haircut and colour today... and it's amazing! This is such a great salon, lovely friendly staff, brilliant haircut & colour (every time). I feel like a new person! Thanks Emma Dean!

I highly recommend Emma Dean! All the staff are so friendly and accommodating, and of course, excellent stylists. The atmosphere is professional but relaxed and I always leave the salon feeling amazing.

It is always a pleasure walking into Emma Dean salon. I have been going to my hairdresser Ben for over 15 years and he never disappoints. The salon is always welcoming to all and has a great ambience.

Just had a much-needed, post-lockdown hair appointment and my first visit to Emma Dean did not disappoint. Sylvia listened to what I wanted and totally delivered. Feeling like a whole new girl!

In love with my new hair! Victoria did a fabulous job, I highly recommend her for colour, cut and style. The ladies at the salon are lovely and the overall atmosphere was very welcoming …

Always the best possible service, great cuts and colours and the most relaxing shampoo and head massages (thanks Alex!)... all in a relaxed, modern, peaceful salon.

Very quick and professional service. Wayne is a very talented hair stylist. A very relaxed and pleasant hair salon. I would absolutely recommend Emma Dean Salon.

So happy I’ve found Emma Dean salon & Bahar a colourist who performs hair magic! All staff are welcoming & friendly & the salon space is so beautiful and roomy.

My hair turned out amazing! I haven’t had such a good colour done to my hair for a very long time-thank you Victoria for providing a service that I love!

Victoria is extremely talented and has got my hair back to being super healthy! Both her and the team are all very lovely and professional :)
