The Murphy Gozzard Hair Community

AT THE MURPHY GOZZARD HAIR COMMUNITY, OUR COMMITMENT IS TO CREATING THE ULTIMATE HAIRDRESSING EXPERIENCE FOR OUR CLIENTS WHILST PROVIDING A NURTURING, FUN AND REWARDING ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR HAIR ARTISANS. 

For all great artisans, the traditions and skills that have been passed on from generation to generation are the backbone to their craft, each generation refining the skills and with new technologies, advancing the qualities and outcomes, yet staying true to the fundamental skills taught by one generation to another.

This concept is intrinsically woven into the DNA of the Murphy Gozzard Hair Community – a team of lifestyle artisans who continually explore the boundaries of their craft to create individual and tailored hairdressing, combining the life skills that have been passed down from generation to generation with the technical skills that have culminated through thousands of hours of training and development to deliver the highest quality hairdressing in a welcoming and auspicious environment.
