Cut Above the Rest: The Best Hair Salons in Hobart

In Hobart, where crisp air meets cooler-than-you style, a great hair salon is as essential as a good knit and knowing where to get the best scallop pie. From the heritage streets of Battery Point to the indie corners of North Hobart, the city is brimming with salons that are as creative as they are calming.

Whether you’re after a low-fuss fringe trim or a colour job as bold as MONA on a Saturday, these are Hobart’s top salons giving Tassie locks the love they deserve. Hair today, haute tomorrow.

Jakadjari

Jakadjari is the go-to salon for those who like their hair game as sharp as their wit. With three luxe locations — including a multi-level heritage haven on Murray Street — Jakadjari has been finessing fringes and taming tresses since 1993. After a bold chop, buttery blonde, or sleek smoothing session, you’ll leave with your crown polished and confidence dialled up. The talented team brings serious skill (and serious charm), making it the kind of place Hobart locals keep close to heart.
