Professional and dedicated team who deliver only the highest standard of cuts and colours. A little pricey (depending on your budget of course), but you certainly get what you pay for. You wont regret booking in for a service at Cream.read more

I have honestly never been so happy walking out of a salon. I felt so fabulous that I couldn't bear to go home and ended up going to the pub and downing a bottle of red. I now have a hangover as a result, but you would never know as I still look so bloody fabulous. 10/10 will do again.read more

Best hair salon I have ever been to. Other salons I would go home and restyle my hair after a cut. I don’t need to do this when I leave Cream! Staff are also lovely.read more

I am not a dream client, when I went in my hair was in terrible shape.I made a last minute appointment with Ellen. I had no idea what I wanted but she had amazing suggestion and she gave me a great walk through of every process before beginning. She TRANSFORMED MY HAIR in the best way I have ever experienced and I have never been so happy about the result!!! Ellen is absolutely fabulous and sweet and the whole staff is just so nice and professional!read more

Have not been able to find the right salon since moving to melbourne 4 years ago and I think I can finally stop searching! All staff were lovely and polite from when I walked in the door till the end. Beautiful salon with lots of space - doesn't feel cramped or crowded or like your being rushed through your appointment. My hair stylist (Kate) listened to all my questions. Also their prices are very reasonable. I encountered none of those sneaky extra charges for a wash and blow dry /straighten. Can't wait to go back!read more

Love! Anna was super friendly and I'm so happy with my new blonde - super super natural and she encouraged me to let my natural colour come through - instead of applying a million different tints / highlights / strobes / paints like other salons do. The salon is upstairs, so once you are sitted down at the communal 'colouring' table, you feel completely away from the hustle bustle of Brunswick street. Complimentary wines, beers, aperitifs. Great environemnt - not pretentious at all and lots of interaction between different stylists & clients.Can't wait to come back!read more

Hands down the best hair salon I’ve been to in Melbourne 🙌 I trek from Southside usually in peak traffic to go here there are just so many things I love about it. Without fail they go above and beyond, from the attentiveness and genuine friendliness of everyone there to spending the extra time to make sure you’re 100% happy and moving your car when necessary (thanks Richard). The abundance of refreshments and plants are a fitting touch to such a high quality salon.Anna has done the best job with interpreting the tones of blonde I was after in balayage and choosing the ones most suited for my complexion - I ended up with a low maintenance blonde that only got better as it grew out, so my 3/4 head of foils beautifully lasted about a year and a half.When Sonya’s cut my hair it feels so much lighter and easy to handle, as well as being a super low maintenance cut, so that it naturally sits and accentuates my waves like it’s been styled all the time. I also love that they (Anna and Sonya) not only don’t make a fuss but say they’re happy to do a proper brush blow wave with my long thick hair (and they don’t try add on extra fees like other places). In addition Chanel gives amazing scalp massages and has done a killer job when styling my hair recently. Thank you to all of you, very grateful 🙏I can’t wait for my next visit!read more
