For cuts, colour, styling and more.
At Fashion Journal, we understand beauty is personal. The relationship between you and your hairdresser (or nail technician, facialist, massage therapist, brow laminator, etc) is important, and it might take a little searching to find the right person. Lucky for us in Australia, we have access to a wide range of different hair experts – from curl aficionados to blown-out balayage specialists.
We like nosy people. Don’t be shy, head to our Beauty section for more.
