About Sharper Image Hair Beauty Make Up & Nails

Sharper Image Hair, Beauty, Nails & Makeup is a Johnsonville institution, proudly located in the heart of the suburb and serving the local community since 1991. With more than three decades of experience behind the chair, this local salon has built its reputation on hair and beauty services tailored to suit individuals and elevate their natural features.

The team's professional expertise spans the full salon spectrum: hair services including ionic straightening, colour highlights and balayage, alongside beautician services for acne-prone skin, anti-ageing, and special occasion makeup and nails. The goal is simple — to send every client back out into the world feeling good and refreshed, walking out feeling beautiful, confident and revitalised.

Sharper Image is also a recognised Dermalogica Expert salon, with team member Gina Lee featured among Dermalogica's experts. That professional skin care knowledge flows through the salon's beauty services, from thorough double-cleansing rituals using hero products like PreCleanse to targeted treatments for troubled or ageing skin.

Beyond services, the salon stocks a wide range of professional products in store, including GHD styling tools, OPI nails, Dermalogica skin care, Schwarzkopf hair care and MAC Cosmetics — so you can maintain your look between visits. Clients can book online, by phone, or via WhatsApp, and visitor carparks are available right at the door.

Sharper Image Hair, Beauty, Nails & Makeup: Johnsonville's Salon Since 1991

Tucked into Fraser Avenue in the heart of Johnsonville, Sharper Image Hair, Beauty, Nails & Makeup has been part of the neighbourhood for more than three decades. Established in 1991, the salon has spent over thirty years doing one thing well: helping locals walk out the door feeling beautiful, confident and refreshed.

A full-service salon with a personal touch

Sharper Image is that rare salon that genuinely covers the whole spectrum — hair, beauty, makeup and nails all under one roof. On the hair side, the team's professional expertise includes ionic straightening for smooth, sleek results, colour highlights, and balayage for those wanting soft, lived-in dimension. Every service is approached the same way: tailored to suit the individual and designed to elevate their features, rather than a one-size-fits-all formula.

The beauty side is just as considered. The salon offers beautician services for acne-prone skin, anti-ageing treatments, and special occasion makeup and nails — making it a handy one-stop shop before a big event. Whether you need hair, makeup and nails sorted for an occasion or simply want to leave feeling refreshed, it can all happen in a single visit.

Dermalogica expertise on the team

One thing that sets Sharper Image apart is its recognised Dermalogica expertise. Team member Gina Lee is featured as a Dermalogica Expert, and she's upfront about her favourite product: PreCleanse, one of Dermalogica's hero products. As she explains, the oil-based cleanser emulsifies when mixed with water, dissolving dirt and removing makeup while cleaning the skin thoroughly. That kind of product knowledge flows through the salon's skin and beauty services, so clients get informed, professional care rather than guesswork.

Products to keep the look going

Sharper Image isn't just about what happens in the chair. The salon carries a wide range of professional products in store, including GHD styling tools, OPI nail products, Dermalogica skin care, Schwarzkopf hair care and MAC Cosmetics. It means you can recreate your salon finish at home, or pick up a trusted gift while you're in — with the team happy to point you toward whatever suits your hair and skin.

The experience

After more than thirty years, Sharper Image has a clear philosophy: put clients first. The team describes its dedication to finding solutions that meet each client's needs and keep them satisfied, with the simple aim of sending everyone back out into the world feeling good. It's a warm, community-minded approach that comes from being genuinely local — a salon that has watched Johnsonville grow around it since the early nineties.

Practical details make visits easy, too. The salon is open Thursday and Friday from 9:30am to 6:00pm, Saturday from 9:30am to 4:00pm, and closed Sunday through Wednesday. Visitor carparks are available, and booking is flexible — online through the salon's booking page, by phone, or by message on WhatsApp. If you're in Johnsonville and looking for a longstanding local salon that handles hair, skin, makeup and nails with equal care, Sharper Image is an easy place to start.
