THE SALON

PRIVATE . ICONIC . SALON . SOCIAL . STUDIO

An old boning room in a cobblestone alley is probably the last place you would expect to find one of Australia's leading hairstylists. But at Salon Baby Hair... that's exactly what you get. Barney Gleeson has converted an original warehouse in Fitzroy, Melbourne to create something truly special and unlike any other salon experience.

PRIVATE

A unique environment; part salon, part studio, Salon Baby Hair blurs the lines between creative and commercial. Barney's vision for Salon Baby Hair was to create a unique environment as home to all elements of his work.

'I wanted to create a salon that was a departure from many other salon experiences. A space where you would expect not only great hair, but feel comfortable and at ease. A place where my time is your time; a more personal and private salon experience.'

The result... a private oasis in the heart of Fitzroy, Melbourne.

ICONIC

Set in one of Fitzroy's iconic laneways and quintessentially 'Melbourne', Salon Baby Hair is a celebration of urban, interior and landscape design... all designed and built behind the existing facade of the warehouse.

Originally from this iconic Melbourne suburb, it seemed fitting the Barney base his business here. 'Fitzroy has always been the bohemian centre of Melbourne, with a strong eclectic and eccentric history. It just seemed completely fitting,' Barney explains.

STUDIO

'As part of my work exists outside salon services, it was crucial for me to create a multi use space to work in,' explain Barney.
