Cut Above the Rest: The Best Hair Salons in Hobart

In Hobart, a great haircut is as considered as everything else the city does well. Eye Am Hair on Murray Street is the one to know for natural texture and curl-by-curl cuts, De Stijl on Elizabeth Street brings an AVEDA colour specialism and fully vegan product range, and Jakadjari has been finessing blondes and precision cuts across three locations since 1993. From the boutique calm of Ukiyo Hair to the late-Thursday appointments at Fusion in North Hobart, these are the salons Hobart locals keep returning to.

Bloom Hair Lounge

Bloom Hair Lounge is North Hobart’s blonding house with a little more gloss in its step. The Elizabeth Street salon is built around lived-in colour, creamy blondes, balayage and keeping hair healthy enough to survive the next round of foils. Pravana and Unite sit in the mix, Afterpay takes the sting out of a big colour day, and the mood is more friendly beauty crew than hushed salon temple. Book here for blonde maintenance, soft dimension, extensions or a bright little reset before the weekend.

Eye Am Hair

Eye Am Hair feels like Hobart’s antidote to the hard-sell salon. The Murray Street studio specialises in curly and straight hair, with curl-by-curl cuts, thoughtful colour and a product shelf built around vegan, eco-friendly and lower-tox formulas. There’s care in the small stuff: sensory-safe services, refillable curl products, holistic treatments and a team that treats texture, identity and individuality with real respect. Creative without the ego, conscious without the lecture, and deeply lovely once you’re in the chair.

Ukiyo Hair

Ukiyo Hair keeps things personal without making a performance of it. The team takes time with the consultation, reading your hair’s texture, movement and colour history before cutting or colouring with real precision. The result is hair that works beyond the mirror moment: soft where it needs to be, shaped with intent and easy to wear weeks later. For considered cuts, lived-in colour and a salon visit that feels human, Ukiyo is a beauty-bookmark worth keeping.

Jakadjari

Jakadjari has been part of Hobart’s hair furniture since 1993, now working from a three-floor heritage building on Murray Street with the pace and precision of a salon that knows its regulars. Cuts, colour, blondes, balayage and Kerasilk smoothing are all on the menu, handled by a team that favours strong consultation over hairdresser guesswork. Book for a fringe reset, colour rescue or full restyle, then leave with hair that feels sharper, fresher and far easier to live with.

Genre Hair

Genre Hair is Collins Street with a blow-dry and somewhere to be. Founded by Deidre Whitton, this Hobart salon does the grown-up stuff well: colour that behaves, cuts with shape, balayage, foils and keratin smoothing, all without losing its edge. The space is light, crisp and easy to settle into, with sustainable products, a hair spa and a private room for work calls mid-colour. Smart, good-looking and switched on, it’s the appointment you book when your hair needs to get its act together.

Pure The Salon

Pure The Salon feels like Elizabeth Street exhaling. Behind the door: a vertical window garden, natural furnishings, local coffee and a team that has no interest in rushing you through a chair or selling you something you didn’t ask for. The Hobart studio covers the essentials, from cuts and blow waves to tailored colour and styling, but its character sits elsewhere: in the calm, leafy room, the easy conversation and a culture built around growing young stylists as much as fixing tired hair.

De Stijl Hair

De Stijl Hair has a sharper creative streak than your average Elizabeth Street appointment. Opened by Tracy Snow in 2015, the AVEDA Concept Salon is known for precision cutting, colour, bridal hair and the kind of editorial eye that has sent the team into national photographic competitions. The sustainability credentials are there, with 100% vegan AVEDA colour and products, but the personality is what sticks: curl specialists, blonde obsessives, extension work, strong styling and Scout, the Boston Terrier salon dog, holding court near the basins.

152-156 Elizabeth Street, Hobart 

Mazi Hair

Mazí Hair takes its name from the Greek word for “together”, which suits a Bathurst Street salon built on collaboration, colour craft and a fair bit of industry pedigree. Founded by award-winning stylists and colourists, the Hobart studio brings international Goldwell experience to expert cutting, customised colour and beautifully resolved finishes. Oribe sits on the shelves, the consultation carries weight, and the whole place feels geared towards hair with structure and shine.

Fusion Hairdressing

Fusion Hairdressing has the easy warmth of North Hobart, less showroom, more well-loved local address with very good scissors. Owner Carolyn Geddes has been hairdressing for more than three decades, and the salon keeps its focus where it counts: colour, cutting, friendly service and products chosen with a cleaner conscience, from O&M colour to Kevin Murphy and Mr. Smith on the shelves. There is voucher parking tucked behind the salon too, which may be the most underrated luxury on Elizabeth Street.
