Sydney certainly has its share of chic salons, but Brad Ngata Hair Direction offers something particularly difficult to find. No, it's not the hip and edgy Darlinghurst locale, or the out-of-the-fray terrace house setting. It's the fact that even regular folk can enjoy the kind of undivided, one-on-one doting usually reserved for celebs. That's why the salon mantra is: "You're the star, sweetheart!"

Inside two adjoining terrace houses you'll find service-focussed, award-winning professionals; a comforting, private haven; and a welcome scarcity of throbbing music and 'tude. Have a glass of wine, catch up on the latest fashion and designer magazines; have your friends join you to relax in a lounge while your colour processes; hum or sing along to the mellow strains of chilled music. But don't forget why you came: world-acclaimed styling, sensational cuts and fabulous colours from an industry-applauded artistic team who will treat you like an A-lister and get you into red-carpet shape.
