Salon Information

Candy Hair provides quality hair cuts and hair styling from the first lock of hair, to teens and even adults!

Appointments are strongly recommended. Walk-ins will be accommodated subject to availability.

Yes, in fact we recommend it, in order to build a relationship between the stylist and your child. It makes the child feel comfortable and at ease.

We understand sometimes it’s hard to get out of the house on time with children! If you are running late, call the salon and we will be able to inform you if we can see you a bit later. As our appointments are back-to-back, it is possible you may have to re-schedule if you are more than 5 minutes late.

We offer a shampoo for an extra charge but you must tell the staff when you are booking the appointment so we can allow for enough time.

Of course! The normal day-to-day knots will be combed out easily before we commence the cut. However, if your child has very mattered hair that has not been combed through for quite some time, it is important that you inform our staff at the time of booking so we allow ample time to complete the service. An extra charge may be payable. You will be quoted the price once we have examined the condition of your child’s hair.

We understand that children get tired, have ‘off-days’ or just dread getting haircuts. We are experienced in dealing with these situations. If the tv show or novelty chair is not enough to distract them, we may ask you to blow bubbles or they may be more comfortable sitting on your lap. It is entirely up to you if you wish to continue with the service or not. If the child is moving around a lot we cannot guarantee a precision cut, but our staff are renowned for getting the best cut out of a bad situation! We recommend ensuring the child has just been to the toilet and is well rested before coming into the salon.

As a work-safe practice, we ask our stylists to refrain from picking children up and placing them in the chairs. The children are also much more comfortable being lifted by their parent or guardian.

Party Information

The minimum number of guests is 8 and the maximum is 12 for our weekend parties. If you think 12 special guests are not enough, please call us as we may be able to make some special arrangements.

Yes we can! For our Glam cat-walk party we can host up to 25 guests on Thursday and Friday evenings from 4.30pm. The party will run for an additional 30mins, therefore being a 2hr party (no additional charge for this time, just pay per head).

Saturday: 9:30am to 11:00am, 11:30am to 1:00pm, 1:30pm to 3:00pm, 3:30pm to 5:00pm

Sunday: 10:30am to 12:00pm, 12:30pm to 2:00pm, 3:00pm to 4:30pm

Yes they are! We offer various times throughout the week and try our best to cater to the time slot you desire.

There is no need to arrive earlier than 5 minutes prior to the party start time. If you are early, there is ample space outside the salon to gather and welcome your friends. Your party host will usher you in right on time.

Simply contact us to confirm availability, complete a simple booking form and pay a deposit equivalent to that of two children attending your party (depending on the party you choose, this amount will be $40 or $50). Your deposit will be deducted from your final balance on the day of your party.
