Tucked away in a quiet Surry Hills street, Brumby Street has been giving great hair to our clients for 10 years, retaining its sense of intimacy and relaxation along with its commitment to personal attention, care and creativity.

Our point of difference? All of our stylists are seniors so you can be assured of the highest standards in care and skill from consultation to blow dry.

No Glue, No Heat and No Damage!
Introducing Micro Link Hair Extensions

The micro link application is becoming more and more popular these days due to the fact that there is no glue, no heat and no damage to the natural hair. They are very versatile and can be applied fast and removed easily. The application involves pulling a strand of the client’s hair through the micro link, placing the tip of a pre-bonded hair strand into the link against the client’s hair, and then clamping down on the link with a tool creating a secure hold. If applied cared for correctly with the proper tools they will last for a long period of time. The pre-bonded hair can be re-used without having to re-bond it because the bonds have not been melted or altered.

The hair used and supplied is 100% AA grade Human Remy Hair. What this means to our client’s is that the cuticle of the hair runs correctly from top to bottom on each strand. This is done by ensuring that all the roots are at the top of the strand, and all points at the bottom, this will prevent matting and make a much shinnier more natural looking hair.

The hair that we use has a wider diameter, making it thicker, stronger and giving it more elasticity which is perfect for hair extensions. This means that the hair extensions can be washed, styled coloured and blow dried more often and last longer than other types of hair without all the damages.

Global Keratin Natural Straightening Treatments

The Global Keratin hair treatment is a keratin-based treatment that straightens hair naturally without harsh chemicals. It is a reconditioning treatment that transforms the hair and restores shine. This incredible treatment is designed for people who have curly, frizzy and damaged hair! By infusing keratin deep into the hair cuticle, Global Keratin uses hair’s natural ingredient to achieve radical shine, beautiful smoothness and healthy, manageable style. Everyone can benefit from GK Treatments, even over-processed and chemically damaged hair. In fact, the more damaged the better and the longer the treatment lasts. It deeply reconditions and repairs, making it so much more than just a straightening system.

The immediate result is soft, shiny, healthy & luxurious – and unlike other chemical treatments and relaxers, can be used on coloured or chemically straightened hair.

Developed in Brazil, GKT’s formulation is kinder on hair, improving its condition and restoring resiliency to leave hair strong and elastic. Better yet, it weatherproofs hair against flyaway frizz and the effects of moisture. When hair is gorgeous, shiny and manageable every day, the time required to style at home is reduced!

GKT is cheaper than permanent hair straightening and because it’s not permanent, can be washed out if desired. It can even be used over previous GK Treatments, leaving hair in better condition after each successive application. The GK Treatment is more natural looking as the hair is not made pin straight – it still has body and bounce – and lasts up to 4 months, eventually washing out.

Unmanageable hair nightmares are now a thing of the past!

The result is a delightfully sun-kissed finish that looks amazing when you curl your ends and not the best when you leave them straight. So, that’s something to consider if you’re thinking about getting this done. You see, balayage works really well with casual hair. It’s relaxed, cool, undone and very much on trend right now. But, if you have dead straight hair and leave it that way all the time, perhaps this technique isn’t for you.

What balayage will do for you though is add dimension to your hair. It adds depth of colour and instantly updates block browns. Plus, it’s quick, so you won’t be in the salon all day like you would if you were having regular foils done.

Here’s what you should expect from your colourist:

1) A consultation: When you speak to your colourist, make sure you tell them exactly what you’re after. Take pictures of celebs in and talk about your hair maintenance levels, your budget and what you want to achieve from this style.

2) The colour mixing process: Once you’ve had a chat, your colourist will nip off and start mixing your colour. Just like they do with any dye job. There should be more than one shade with balayage though. As you’re trying to add depth and dimension, it’s important to have a nice blend of blondes that work with your natural skin tones rather than one block, blonde shade.

3) Application: Unlike regular foils that are applied from your roots to your end, balayage is concentrated only on your ends. Your colourist might backcomb small sections of hair before applying the colour to break it up and create smaller sections of colour. This is what mine does anyway. They will simply paint the colour onto your ends sporadically and wrap in foil. You’ll then have to sit around for a while, read some mags and then pop off to the basin to get the colour out. If you’ve had some colour in your hair before, they may need to apply a toner, but generally it should be good to go.

4) Final touches: Once the colour is all in and your hair’s ready to blow-dry, ask your stylist to blow-dry with movement. If you get it dead straight, it might look a bit wack. Movement, waves and even a bit of curl is exactly what you need to pull off this look.

Once you’re used to your new colour, play around with styles and products at home. A good texture lotion will add guts to your ends and a little curl job with a  works an absolute treat.

Brumby Street Hair has long been a fan of Dr Loren Pickart, a biochemist who has spent his life working on methods to reverse the effects of aging in the human body. His extensive biochemistry research led to the invention of Skin Remodeling Copper-Peptides which help repair human skin and other tissues such bone, hair follicles, liver, stomach lining, and the intestinal tract. It was discovered by Pickart’s isolation of the human skin remodeling copper-peptide, GHK-Copper from human blood.

Our clients particularly love him for his contribution to hair growth and condition.
