Hair Salons in Footscray (2026)

The right hair salon in Footscray depends on the work you want done. For a quick cut and blow-dry, walk-in or last-minute Saturday slots matter most. For colour, balayage, or a major cut change, look for senior-stylist availability, a clear consultation step, and recent Instagram work in your style. The shortlist below filters by Google rating and review count, so you start with the salons clients actually rate.

What to look for

• Senior stylist availability for higher-stakes work (colour, balayage, fringe)
• Recent Instagram or Google photos that match the cut or colour you want
• Bond-building and aftercare advice as standard, not an upsell
• Pricing transparency — by hours or by length, not just a flat rate
• Recent reviews mentioning the specific service you need
