Embleton Residents: Your Nearest Quality Hairdresser
Embleton is a quiet suburb that gets overshadowed by its more prominent neighbours — Bayswater to the west, Morley to the north, Noranda to the east. It's well-positioned for access to most of Perth's northern corridor, but hair salons within the suburb itself are limited. The obvious answer, for most Embleton residents, is to head to wherever's closest.
We'd argue that closest doesn't have to mean least impressive. Alex Royer Salon is on Bayley Street in Dianella — about five minutes from Embleton — and we're the kind of salon that gives you a reason to make a deliberate choice rather than just going to whoever's convenient.
What We Do and Why It Matters
The thing that distinguishes us most clearly from generic salon options is the combination of PPD-free colour, genuine consultation, and an inclusive atmosphere that's consistent across every client.
On the PPD front: we use Keune Tinta and Semi colour as standard. Both are PPD free. Paraphenylenediamine is the most common allergen in conventional hair dye and causes reactions — scalp irritation, swelling, contact dermatitis — in a meaningful number of people. Some know they're sensitive before they come to us. Others have recently had a first reaction and are looking for an alternative. For both groups, the fact that our standard colour range is PPD free without any premium or special request is the most important thing we offer.
The Consultation
A good colour consultation changes the result. We ask about your hair's history — what colour it is naturally, what's been done to it chemically, how long ago, what products you use at home. We ask what you want and we look at reference photos if you have them. We tell you honestly what's achievable and what isn't. That conversation takes time but it's the difference between a result you're happy with and one you're just making peace with.
