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.

“Sarah did mine, my mother’s and 5 bridesmaids’ hair for my wedding. Everybody looked absolutely stunning and she did an incredible job… I couldn’t recommend them more!”

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.
