The Parlour Room

Tucked inside the buzzing Wunderlich Lane precinct in Redfern, The Parlour Room’s newest outpost is a dreamy escape designed for indulgence and intentional self-care. Designed by award-winning interiors studio Tom Mark Henry, the space balances sophistication with warmth, bringing founder Natalie Ferrari’s vision of effortless beauty and everyday luxury to life.

From the moment you arrive, the experience is elevated—still yourself in the foyer over a still or sparkling water, and decompress amidst the calm, curated interiors. “How our clients feel is just as important to us as the treatment itself,” Natalie explains—and that focus is felt in every detail, from custom facial beds to personalised treatment files and your choice of soothing herbal tea post-treatment.

Sitchu tip: Expect a full suite of beauty and skin services, but don’t sleep on their Lunch-Time Facial—a powerful express treatment designed for those short on time. Book one the day of a big event for that glassy, Hailey Bieber-style glow.
