A good suburban salon earns its keep through listening as much as cutting: a proper consultation about hair type, morning routine and how you want the cut to grow out is what separates a shape that still looks right weeks later from one that fails by the second wash. Regulars know the value of sticking with one stylist, since someone who remembers your hair's history, from old colours to cowlicks, wastes far less time working it out each visit. Colour work also takes longer than a cut, which is why salons generally ask clients to book ahead for it.
On Oregon Place in Shirley, Shirley Hair Design gives residents of the suburb a well-rated salon close to home.
