Hair Colour Melbourne CBD | Balayage, Foils & Blonde Specialists
Looking for a hair colourist in Melbourne CBD you can actually trust with your colour? Second Avenue Hair has been part of Melbourne’s hairdressing scene since 1992, and colour has always been one of the services we’re most known for. Located at 205–207 Little Collins Street, our Melbourne CBD colour specialists create personalised, healthy-looking results using premium colour systems, from a subtle root refresh to a complete blonde transformation.
Choosing a colourist isn’t about picking a technique off a menu. It’s about finding a team who understands your hair’s history, your skin tone, how much maintenance you actually want to do, and where you want to end up. That’s why every colour appointment at Second Avenue Hair starts with a proper consultation — not a rushed five-minute chat, but a real conversation about your hair’s condition, previous colour history, natural base and goals, before we recommend the technique that will get you there without compromising hair health

Melbourne CBD's Trusted Colour Specialists
Second Avenue Hair is a trusted Melbourne CBD salon for balayage, foils and blonde colour transformations. Part of a Melbourne hairdressing business established in 1992, we provide personalised colour results for clients working, living or visiting Melbourne CBD, Southbank, Docklands, East Melbourne, Carlton, Fitzroy and Richmond.
Our team specialises in hair colour services for Melbourne CBD clients, including balayage, foils, blonde transformations, root colour, toning, grey coverage and colour correction. Every service is tailored to your hair's condition, history and the result you're after.
Our colourists use premium professional systems, including Kérastase and Kevin Murphy, throughout the colour process — not just at the finish. These systems help protect hair strength and condition during lightening, toning and everyday maintenance, which matters just as much as the technique itself when it comes to how your colour looks and lasts.
Every appointment begins with a detailed consultation so we can assess your hair type, colour history and desired result before recommending the right technique and products.
How We Approach Colour – Hair Colour Melbourne CBD
At Second Avenue Hair, our colourists understand the technique behind every result — not just the finish. Whether it's hand-painted balayage or precisely placed foils, the approach we choose depends on your hair's natural base, its history, and how much maintenance you actually want between visits.
Every colour service is built around protecting hair condition throughout the process, not just at the final toner step. We use premium professional systems, including Kérastase and Kevin Murphy, to support strength and shine from the first application through to your aftercare routine.
Where a transformation would put too much stress on your hair in a single sitting, we'll plan the process across multiple sessions rather than compromise on hair health to save time.

Pricing depends on your hair length, current colour and the technique used. During your consultation, our colourists will confirm exact pricing before any service begins.
Balayage is hand-painted for a soft, natural graduation with minimal visible regrowth, while foils create a more defined, uniform lift from root to end. Our colourists can recommend which suits your hair type and maintenance preferences.
Most clients return every 4 to 6 weeks for root colour or regrowth touch-ups, while balayage and lived-in colour can often be stretched further between visits
Yes. Our colourists assess your hair’s current condition and tone and build a corrective plan to restore an even, healthy-looking result, sometimes over more than one session depending on hair condition.
Any chemical colour process can affect hair condition, particularly lightening services. Using premium colour systems, recommending the right aftercare, and spacing out services appropriately all help minimise this.
Depending on your natural base and colour history, some lift can be achieved without bleach, though significant lightening usually requires it. This is something we assess during your consultation.
