The Palladeum

This has been my hairdressing salon of choice for a few years now.
It’s a funky and relaxing space, perfectly in keeping with retrocool Queen St which it adjoins. There are large framed photos of hairstyles from the 70s, a vintage animal hide on the polished floor boards, 70s style blue lounge with yellow cushions and older hairdrstyling items hanging around, like pink plastic hair dryers.
Staff at the The Palladeum specialise in head massage (which let’s face it, is half the fun of a salon visit). Your visit begins with a chat and consultation, then it’s onto a quick shoulder rub which sets the scene for relaxing and ‘me time’. Be prepared. If you weren’t aware of the shoulder rub, it could be awkward!
Owner Meshelle is great at what she does and often takes part in fashion week shows; also this is a Redke salon.
The Palladeum’s soundtrack is always outstanding, as they invest in specialist recordings. It ranges from reworked dance classics to somewhat ambient music that again encourages relaxtion.
Open from Wednesday through to Saturday, with weekends being super-​busy.
