Cranium Hair, Manly

Best hair salon in Sydney! Absolutely LOVE my first balayage and cut. Staff are hair colour experts very knowledgeable, helpful and patient. Belinda and her team are so friendly you are immediately put at ease to enjoy a truly indulgent hair experience - complete with yummy champagne! Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Not sure what happened at my appt (several months ago but as I’m looking for another salon was reminded) but it was a bit of a mess… I went in for a cut to have a few inches taken off but somehow in the wash my hair got so tangled the rest of the appointment was downhill. The brushing afterwards was very uncomfortable and that’s partly due to me being tender headed and the number of knots but also the commentary on how it’s my hair that’s the problem and how I need to use better products was shocking. I’ve never had this issue with others washing my hair before so I found the targeted comments a bit much. Also, I get the whole booking system where multiple people come in at one time for a stylist to maximise their time but for a cut I found that kind of weird because it’s not really a long thing, there’s no colour setting or anything. The time spent between each step waiting was annoying. Anyway, the drinks and snacks were cool and the cut was fine ultimately but the process was not fun. I know, not the usual review here, but nonetheless my experience.

I was looking for a blow dry and style for my 32nd birthday and cranium not only gave me the exact hair I wanted but also made me feel like a queen because it was my birthday. They were so attentive, professional and sat with me for a chat it was one of the best experiences I have ever had in a salon. They made sure I was happy with my hair before I left as well. They are my new go to and happy to recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Amazing service. Greeted at the door and sat down with a drink. Lovely massage in the chair during the wash. Fantastic cut and colour. Great experience.

BEWARE.They bleached the new dress I was wearing when they coloured /toned my hair. They just deny it - SEE PICTURE. Complaint lodged with Department of Fair Trading. And, I paid $538 foils/cut on short hair.

Great salon! Always friendly and welcoming with the most experienced staff.

I moved to Manly recently and wanted to find a new hairdresser. I went to Cranium Hair and would highly recommend their service. I needed help with the process of growing out/covering up my balayage. The staff were super lovely and welcoming from great coffee to fun conversations.Dee was the stylist who worked on my hair, she is very talented and skilled—implementing perfectly what I wanted into the final product. She was also very focused to detail in getting all split ends without loosing length.

I am really glad to finally have my hair done after lockdown. The service was really great and the staff was friendly and professional. The massage you get while your hair is re washed is so good thank you this amazing seat.The place I nice, bright and full of space so you feel relaxed.
