Libby Harkin - Hair by Sun, absolutely loved and still in love with what she did with my hair. I had gone to her for keratin treatment she just knew what to do. Great services highly recommend

One girl and a pointer - In a little over 2 months Sun has transformed my hair colour making the management of covering my greys so much easier. She took the time to listen and explain the change she suggested, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Thayra Correia - Perfect service! I have find Sun on my arrival to Australia and have been cutting my hair with her since then. Very professional and always kind!

Ada Huang -  Sun is beyond talented and goes above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service. Not only do I leave the salon extremely happy with the results each time but Sun also takes the time to educate me about how to keep my hair healthy, and to address any specific issues which I have. Thanks to her the health of my hair is improving drastically and looking better than ever. Will definitely continue to be a regular client of hers!  

Jasmine Glonek - Sun is the best hairstylist I have ever been to and I’ve tried a lot.She saved my hair when it was heavily overtoned to a blue colour by another salon and I’ve continued to see her ever since. She takes care of the health of your hair and doesn’t over bleach, and makes sure your hair grows out naturally not looking harsh with streaks.
I get so many compliments on my hair colour and cut all the time since I’ve been seeing Sun, the colour is always spot on perfect, not too warm and not too ash. My hair is still so healthy and grows so much even after bleaching which shows how well she takes care of the hairs health.
As well she is an amazing friendly and kind person!!
Highly recommend seeing Sun for your hair colouring & cut I will never go anywhere else. Also her blow dries are amazing Too!!

Luke Tipping Sun always does an amazing job with my hair and always makes sure I’m on top of my hair and scalp health.

Molly Gogas - If you are looking for a new hair stylist, look no further than Sun! She has all the rare characteristics that you search for in a stylist (and that are SO hard to find)! She is a great listener, extremely warm and personable, and so fun and friendly. I know that when I see Sun that I’m in the most trusting and capable hands. She gives me the perfect cut every time and absolutely loves what she does! I’m very particular with my bob and getting a nice blunt precision cut, and finding a stylist that understood what I was looking for was surprisingly hard to find - then I met Sun! Now every appointment feels more like i’m catching up with a friend than getting a haircut.❤️ Go see her! 10/10

Damielou ShavelleWonderful experience! Sun is warm, bubbly and very professional! I got a hair cut and blow wave and it’s honestly artwork she’s done on my head. She followed instruction, had a good look at the reference photos I gave her and was off doing her thing! She went above and beyond by giving me tips on styling and even hair care shampoo and conditioner samples. I can be a little awkward when meeting people but she made me feel calm and we had such a lovely fun conversation throughout. I’ll definitely be booking her again in 3 months! ☺️
