FOR HER · FROM $105
Bespoke cuts, Re-Shine and Malibu treatments, and styling tailored to your hair type, lifestyle and goals — in our private one-on-one Sydney CBD studio.
A truly great haircut is the foundation of everything. It's the difference between fighting your hair every morning and having a style that falls effortlessly into place.
At True Hair Collective, we've moved beyond the rushed, 45-minute "in-and-out" cut. Here, your appointment is a relaxing, unhurried experience. We take the time to truly understand you and your hair.

What to expect during your bespoke haircut appointment
We'll sit down and talk. What do you love about your hair? What are your challenges? What's your daily routine? We'll analyse your hair's texture, density, and growth patterns.
Settle in at the basin for a relaxing wash and scalp massage with premium Natulique products. The kettle's on, the door is closed, and the next two hours are yours.
Mel will execute your cut with masterful precision — working with your face shape, hair density and growth patterns to build a shape that grows out beautifully.
Optional toner, a professional blow-dry, and a short product chat so you can recreate the look at home — no extra trips to the salon to "fix it" later.
You will leave not just with an incredible haircut, but with the knowledge and confidence to style it beautifully at home, every single day.
Healing Hair Health
Add a treatment to your personalised cut to restore condition, lift mineral build-up, and lock in lasting shine. Designed around healing hair health rather than masking it.
A refresher trim, clear toner for lasting shine, and a styled blow dry. Perfect to revive condition, smooth tone, and add brilliance without committing to colour.
Removes mineral build-up, hard-water residue and product accumulation, then deeply restores condition. Ideal pre-colour or as a stand-alone reset for dull, weighed-down hair.
Start with the personalised haircut, then layer in a treatment, colour or facial. Everything happens in the same visit, in the same private studio.
Every cut includes an in-depth consultation, a relaxing wash and scalp massage, the precision cut itself, and a styled blow-dry with product recommendations so you can recreate the look at home. From $105 for a women's cut and style.
Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for a precision cut, wash, blow-dry and consultation. Add 30–45 minutes for a Re-Shine & Re-Fresh package or Malibu treatment. The studio runs one client at a time, so the time on your booking is fully yours.
A precision cut covers consultation, wash, cut, blow-dry and styling. Re-Shine & Re-Fresh ($145) adds a clear toner for lasting shine and smoothness — ideal between full colour appointments to refresh tone and lock in condition without committing to colour.
Yes. Mel cuts straight, wavy, curly and coil hair, and is one of a small group of certified Roò curly cut specialists in Sydney. If you have curly or textured hair, you may want to book the Roò Curly Cut instead — it's a separate technique designed for your curl pattern.
