Brisbane’s Best Hairdressers for Short Hair

Short hair, we care. Here are our top picks for Brisbane hairdressers who know how to keep it short and sweet.

By Eveline Fielding | 16th September 2015

You loved our series on the best hairdressers for blondes and brunettes, now we’re talking to all our Stylers out there with short hair!

As Coco Chanel/the Messiah once said, a woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.

And if that haircut is on the short side, whether it’s a lob, bob or crop, you’ll need a hairdresser who can handle it. We mean one who’ll make your transformation as bold and empowering as Emma Watson circa 2010 or Alexa Chung circa always, but not quite as dramatic and tearful as the makeover episode in America’s Next Top Model circa EVERY SINGLE SEASON. If you’re already on the short side, it’s important to stick to a hairdresser who respects the chop and gives you the right texture, length, volume and colour for your personal style.

But enough with all this jibber-jabber, let’s keep it brief, with our top picks for Brisbane’s best hairdressers for short hair.

Indie Hair, Alderley

This salon may be new to the scene but it’s fast becoming a fave among the short-haired for expertly balancing customer requests with what they know is best for different types of hair. We hear they’re great with pixie cuts if you’re not afraid to get the full chop.

Milk Hair, Hamilton

If you’re looking for a new colour along with your crop, no need to cry over spilt milk in this salon (hehe), with ammonia and PPD-free dyes readily available. With reasonable prices, iPads and free wifi, you’re guaranteed a stress-free style.

Fruition Hair

At Fruition, it’s all about being precise with the hair and pals with the customers. All stylists are expertly trained with product brands such as Shu Uemura, but if you want an extra advantage when it comes to short hair, we hear Zoey is the stylist for the job.
