A Mount Lawley Alternative Worth Knowing About
Mount Lawley has Beaufort Street, which means good food, good coffee, and a reasonable number of salons. So why would someone from Mount Lawley drive ten minutes up to Dianella for a haircut?
A few reasons, as it turns out. And our Mount Lawley clients are usually pretty clear about what they are.
PPD-Free Colour, Which Is Harder to Find Than It Should Be
The most common specific reason people make the trip from Mount Lawley is our colour range. We use Keune Tinta and Semi, which are PPD free. PPD — paraphenylenediamine — is the compound in most conventional hair dyes that triggers allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. It's a real issue, and the number of people who discover they're sensitive to it only after years of colour services without a problem is significant.
Not every salon in Mount Lawley — or anywhere else in Perth — can say their standard colour range is PPD free. We can. For people who've had reactions before, or who just want to avoid the risk, that's worth a ten minute drive.
An Inclusive Space That Actually Means It
We're LGBTQI+ friendly and judgment-free. Mount Lawley is a reasonably progressive suburb and that's not a foreign concept there. But there's a difference between a salon that would say they're welcoming to everyone and one where that value is actually baked into the team and the atmosphere.
Several of our regular Mount Lawley clients are specifically here because of this. They found us through community word of mouth, or because they were tired of the slightly-awkward feeling they got elsewhere, and decided to try somewhere where they wouldn't have to think about it at all.
The Technical Work
Beyond those two things, the quality of the cuts and colour is just good. Consultations are taken seriously — we ask questions and listen to the answers before we pick up a brush. We use Keune products throughout. The So Pure retail range we carry is paraben free, sulfate free, cruelty free, and vegan friendly for clients who care about what goes on their hair at home as well as in the salon.
