Short N Sweet: Reliable, Family-Friendly Hairdressing on Queen Street
Conveniently positioned on Queen Street in the heart of Warkworth, Short N Sweet provides a refreshing, no-nonsense approach to hairdressing. Established in early 2020 by experienced salon owner Julie Beaumont, the salon was created with a clear and practical mission: to provide high-quality, professional haircuts for the entire community without unnecessary fuss, lengthy salon waits, or excessive price tags.
Julie Beaumont brings decades of industry experience to the salon floor, having begun her hairdressing apprenticeship at age 16 and previously operated four salons across the Rodney district. Following a decade in property management, Julie returned to her creative roots, inspired by a belief that a great haircut offers an immediate lift in confidence and well-being. Joined by stylist Helen Cotton, the team pairs deep technical skill with attentive customer care.
Thoughtful Styling for Every Generation
Short N Sweet is purpose-built to serve every member of the family. For the youngest visitors, haircuts are designed to be calm, friendly, and unhurried. The salon even features a dedicated racing chair to help little ones feel comfortable during their first salon experiences. Parents of young children are welcome to bring along phones or tablets with favourite shows to keep children relaxed while the stylists work.
Beyond children's services, the salon offers tailored haircuts for adults and seniors. Women's styling ranges from quick maintenance trims and soft layering to sharp, textured razor cuts on shorter lengths. Men's grooming covers both classic scissor styling and blended clipper work, with standard inclusions such as neck trims down to the collar line, ear tidying, and eyebrow grooming. Comprehensive beard trims can be bundled with haircuts or booked as standalone clipper services.
