Carolyn’s Work

Carolyn’s Testimonials

“Carolyn is a hair magician! I’ve been going to her religiously for 5 years now and won’t let anyone else touch my mane. She is beyond talented, a true expert at her craft (her colouring is always spot on), and just an awesome, down-to-earth person to spend a few hours with. Her time is spent exclusively with you, so you get her full attention and she cares so much about you leaving happy and confident with your new do.”

BIANCA

"Carolyn is an excellent hairstylist. She always takes the time to find out exactly what I want and everytime I walk out of her salon feeling like a new person. Her head massage is the best in all of Sydney. Carolyn has won many awards and it definitely reflects in her work. Her new salon was clearly created with much love and attention to detail. Just like Carolyn it's trendy, colourful, fun and a bit glamorous. 100% recommend"

FABIENNE

"Quarry Avenue is the most beautiful space, and Carolyn is adorable and such a fabulous hairdresser. Her colouring skills are phenomenal. I am so glad we found each other. I travel from the Central Coast to Sydney now just to get my hair done. So worth the trip. Bonus cute chihuahua cuddles"
