About Slinky Hairdressing
Our Story
Slinky Hairdressing is an independent salon built on the belief that good hair starts with care, time, and understanding — not trends for the sake of trends.
Established in 2001, our salon has become a quiet, trusted space for clients who value thoughtful service, honest advice, and results that feel natural and wearable in everyday life.
We focus on long-term hair health and styles that grow out beautifully, supporting how you live without the need for constant upkeep.
Now operating as a solo studio, Slinky Hairdressing is led by Kon, with every appointment handled start to finish by the same experienced hairdresser. There are no apprentices, no hand-offs, and no rushed timelines — allowing each client to feel genuinely listened to and cared for.
The salon itself is calm and plant-filled, often described by clients as a small indoor jungle. Natural light, greenery, and thoughtfully chosen music create a space designed for slowing down, relaxing, and enjoying the experience as much as the result.
Slinky Hairdressing is guided by a humble approach — listening first, working with integrity, and creating natural, wearable hair that suits each client’s lifestyle.
Our Philosophy
Slinky Hairdressing is guided by a humble approach — listening first, working with integrity, and creating long-lasting results that suit each client’s lifestyle.
Experience You Can Trust
With nearly four decades in the industry, we’ve seen trends come and go. What remains constant is our commitment to quality, technique, and integrity.
We focus on:
• Clean, balanced cuts
• Natural-looking colour
• Healthy hair and scalp care
• Honest guidance without pressure
Rather than following every trend, we prioritise what suits you — your features, your hair type, and how you want to maintain it over time.
A Local Lilydale Salon
Located in the heart of Lilydale, Slinky Hairdressing is proud to be part of the local community and to welcome clients from across the Yarra Valley and surrounding areas.
Our space is designed to feel calm — a place where you can relax, feel comfortable, and leave feeling like yourself, just a little more confident.
If Our Approach Feels Right for You
If you’re looking for a hairdresser who values care over speed and results over trends, we’d love to welcome you.
Whether you’re new to the salon or have been with us for years, our goal is always the same — to help you feel comfortable, confident, and supported with your hair.
