The salon on Rusden Street
Everything you’d want to know before your first visit — who you’ll see, how to book, and what to bring.
Your stylists
Sarah, Nicole & Leisa
The Hair Republic is run by Sarah, and you can book in with Sarah, Nicole or Leisa — just say who you’d like when you message, or let us match you.
Sarah is the salon’s bridal specialist: brides, mums and whole bridal parties, with hair and makeup packages and styles that hold until the end of the night.
Nicole is behind many of the blondes and transformations on the salon’s Instagram. Leisa rounds out the team for colour, cuts and finishing.
The room
A comfortable, quiet setting
The waiting area had a makeover in 2023 — come in, sit down, and take a breath before your appointment.

Before your first appointment
Tell us the history
Box dye, home bleach, henna — it all changes the plan, and nothing is judged. The more we know, the better the result.
Bring photos
Screenshots of the colour you want help far more than words — and one of a colour you’d hate helps just as much.
Come with dry hair
Day-old hair colours better than freshly washed. No need to do anything else to it.
Need to cancel?
Please give at least 48 hours’ notice so someone else can take your spot.
