Kensington (Melbourne, VIC) has been the home to hair off bellair since 1988. The salon started as Kensington Hair and soon became a meeting point for the local community. Kensington artists exhibited their work at the salon, which held several openings. The place was renamed to Kensington Hair Gallery, then a move around the corner – from Bellair Street to Macaulay Road – inspired its current name.
The salon's name changed a few times, but its focus remained the same: a friendly and professional service.
hair off bellair is a place to feel comfortable amongst friendly, Advanced Stylists. Meeting the clientele's needs is paramount. We actively advise our clients, but their preferences always come first. We want our clients leaving our hair salon feeling they had a unique, positive experience.
Career in the UK – A country girl from the Mallee, in country Victoria, Wendy trained in Melbourne, then spent a period in the Cornwall region (United Kingdom). There she enjoyed the experience of starting her own hair salon, when she was only 20-years-old, before returning to Melbourne.
Wendy focuses on the continuing professional development of her team of hairdressers. To keep up-to-date with the latest trends and see inspirational hair cutters, stylists and colourists in action, hair off bellair's staff regularly attend events and welcome educators at the salon for in-house training sessions.
Online shop – Wendy has recently launched hair off bellair's online shop, with the same quality products you find at your Kensington salon. She handpicked best-selling and staff favourite items (more brands and products coming soon).
