The team
Meet Sarah, Nicole & Leisa.
The Hair Republic is a comfortable, quiet salon at 82 Rusden Street, run by Sarah. Three stylists, one calm room, and appointments you can book with whoever suits you.
Sarah is the one brides ask for — bridal parties, mums and bridesmaids, styled to last until the end of the night. Nicole’s blondes and before-and-afters fill a good part of the salon’s Instagram. Not sure who to see? Just ask.

What we do
Colour & balayage
Hand-painted balayage, full and half foils, all-over colour, toners and glosses. Lived-in results that grow out softly.
See colour →Cuts & smoothing
Cuts shaped to how your hair actually behaves, blow-dries, and keratin smoothing for frizz-free weeks.
See cuts →Colour correction
Box dye, banding, brassy blondes and grown-out jobs put right — sometimes over two visits.
See before & afters →Weddings & formals
Hair and makeup packages for brides and bridal parties, plus debs and formals — styled to last all night.
See occasion hair →Before & after
Box dye, banding, brass. All fixable.
Most people who walk in for a correction have been told somewhere else that it can’t be done, or that everything has to come off. Usually neither is true — it just takes a plan, and honesty about how many visits it will take.
