A classic event venue in Sydney! Pleasant stands, ample food and drink options (though also event-priced), indoor and outdoor areas.
My go-to spot ever since a friend put me onto this gem a couple years ago. Great cuts and dye jobs at a good price.
Mei (the owner) listens to what you want and delivers. It's the sort of place where you get a genuine opinion about what will and won't work with your hair. And she doesn't give me any grief when I wait too long between appointments and let my hair get ridiculous, which I really appreciate. 💕
Just to address some of the negative comments: you're right that answering phones or walk-in customers isn't really their top priority. They don't have a receptionist and they prioritize the person sitting in the chair. I actually really value that, because I've been to places where the person cutting your hair stops every 3 minutes to answer the phone, and that isn't fun. They could hire a receptionist, but then their prices would go up.
So, call and leave a message and someone will call you back. Book an appointment and you'll be all sorted.
🚘 Metered and street parking around the spot.

Wonderful gem 💎 of a spot. Great food, large venue and reasonable prices (in a very pricey neighborhood!). Conveniently located to the SCG and Allianz stadiums. 🏏🏉
❗ Don't miss the lovely courtyard, just head downstairs and it's out the back.
🍔 Went with a group, friends had delish burgers and I had an amazing eggplant dip and pickle platter (I'm vegetarian). Kiddo had the standard pub kid menu fare.
🍺 Nice drink selection, fair bit on tap.
🐶 Dog friendly
Friendly staff, conveniently located to any public transport on Oxford St. 🚘 Parking a bit tricky as most city street parking can be.

Want purple ice cream? 💜🍨 Or lavender-scented anything? This is your spot.
A bit of a destination in Port Arthur, Port Arthur Lavender has everything lavender. Nice little cafe with beautiful views.
A great option, because honestly, there isn't much to eat in the town itself.

Gorgeous bookshop with great staff reccos. Possibly one of the best kids' sections I've seen around!
