Dry Curl Cuts
Precision dry curl-by-curl cutting enhances natural texture. Our stylists use techniques from Purely Curls and Deva Curl to create shape without stretching curls. Ideal for clients embracing 2A-4C curl types, this service includes a complimentary recheck within 1-5 weeks to ensure optimal results.
Hair Colouring
L'Oreal Professionnel colour services tailored for curly hair. We offer ammonia-free options like INOA and Dia Colour, with expert application techniques that preserve curl integrity. Services include global colour, foiling, and toning, all performed with curl-specific aftercare treatments.
Hydration Treatments
Deep conditioning treatments restore moisture to curly hair. Using Innersense and Curly World products, we address dryness and frizz while enhancing curl definition. Treatments include scalp detoxification and leave-in hydration to maintain healthy, bouncy curls.
Scalp Treatments
Specialised scalp therapies address conditions like dryness and oiliness. Our L'Oreal and Innersense treatments use organic ingredients to soothe irritation, reduce flakes, and promote circulation. Ideal for clients experiencing hair fall or product buildup, these treatments revitalise both scalp and strands.
Curl Consultations
Personalised guidance for curly hair maintenance. Our experts analyse your curl type and routine to recommend products and styling techniques. Includes a 15-minute basic consultation or 30-minute in-depth session covering colour changes, curl enhancement, and daily care strategies.

Steve is so knowledgeable, helpful and kind. He listened to my requests, deciphered what I meant and delivered one of the best cut and colours I've ever had. If you're thinking about trying out Harlequin hair I would wholeheartedly recommend that you do.

I had my first cut with Steve this week and I cant remember the last time I was so happy with a haircut or received so many compliments from people after a haircut. I also followed his advice about how to look after it at home, and Im so happy with the results!

I've been seeing Steve since moving to Moorooka 10 years ago. I'd always seen my thick, wavy hair as being a bit 'difficult' and unruly. Steve not only does an amazing job with it but takes the time to help me learn about different hair care products that will suit my hair. He is also an absolute gem of a person and it is increasingly hard to get an appointment with him for good reason!

I had to wait six weeks for my first ever Curly hair specialist appointment and it was so worth it. Steve is exceptional, patient, calm, listens carefully and understands. My hair: patchy grey, growing out hair dye, curly, and I did not want to have the full colour up-keep. Steve found a solution that suited me and I was introduced to products that work! The end result was WOW! Very happy and thank you so much, Steve.

I am absolutely in love with my new curly cut ! Steve is amazing at what he does and is so talented, his knowledge is extensive and so informative. The service I received was amazing and I will be telling every curly girl I know to see Steve. Thank-you for my beautiful new style and for making me feel so confident and welcome. I cant wait to try out my samples and purchase new hair product from the salon :)

Highly recommend Steve for curly hair. During my cut he shared many valuable no frills tips which appears to be actually working. Great value.
