strugnellCOLE has been established since 1993. Leon Smith leads the styling department and Anushka leads the colour department. As one of Melbourne’s premier salons we have made our mark through not only the selection and specialized training of talented colourists and stylists, but also by ensuring your time with us is relaxed, rewarding and fun.
We are one of the select few Melbourne salons who offer strict separation of styling and colouring. All stylists and colourists offer the ultimate level of expertise in their area and focus on the client for the duration of the visit.

“I first visited the salon over 5 years ago and have never looked back. At the time my hair was colour damaged and in bad condition. Anushka knew exactly how to treat it and with lots of patience brought my hair back to life one visit at a time. Since then I have enjoyed balayage, colours, hair extensions as well as some incredible cuts at their Salon. Anushka and Leon take incredible pride in what they do and get to know and understand their clients needs. They always provide expert advice and personally tailor their services to provide a hairstyle that suits their clients lifestyle. After each visit I walk out feeling happy and amazing every single time. I could not recommend them more highly.”
“Could not recommend a salon more! some serious magic!! Always leave feeling fantastic, there is no challenge to great…Anoshka will get you sorted! Have recommended friends and family who are all now loyal customers. Tens across the board!”
“Great colour and cut today. I was referred to the salon by a friend who has been a customer for several years. I am not an easy client and arrived early so I could observe how Anushka and Leon worked. All clients during my visit were regulars. My observation was that Anushka and Leon are very consultative, and focused on giving the best possible hair cut and colour to meet the specific customer’s lifestyle, hair type, and situation. Personally, that translated into Leon showing me how the cut he gave me would look if I did nothing other than dry it, and how it could look if I took his advice on how to blow-dry and style it (it looked good in the first case, and great in the second). Better yet, Anushka and Leon take huge pride in their work, give their best advice tailored to each client, are well across European techniques as they evolve in order to remain innovative, and firmly believe in keeping hair strong and healthy. Not a budget hairdresser, but great value for money and worth every dollar given we have to wear our hair every day and feel good about it.”
“Perfect cut, perfect color. Thank you Leon !! I now have to change my profile picture to showcase your work!”
” They’re the best! So talented, absolutely amazing at what they do and the bonus is…. They are the most down to earth people ever. Love them!!!!”
“Anushka, Leon and Steph were very welcoming!!! My hair looks and feels amazing after a complete make over! Blonde to brunette plus extensions… I was so nervous to start but Anushka listened to everything I wanted and made it happen… Highly recommend their salon to everyone!”
“Recently had my hair and makeup done with them for wedding, I looked amazing!!! Highly recommend-Anushka does her magic again!”
