Cons Falcone Salon: The End of a 25-Year Search
For many, finding the hairdresser is a lifelong quest. One Camberwell resident’s 25-year loyalty was tested upon their stylist’s retirement, leading to four years of searching and five disappointing experiences. That all changed in September 2024 with the discovery of Falcone Salon. This salon isn’t just providing haircuts and colour; it’s restoring confidence, one head of hair at a time.
The key seems to be the commitment to personalised service. Clients consistently praise specific stylists like Natalie, described as “highly professional” and possessing an innate understanding of what’s needed. This isn’t simply about following instructions but about a stylist taking the reins with confidence and delivering exceptional results. Falcone Salon understands the emotional connection we have with our hair - acknowledging that a good style can be empowering and a bad one can be detrimental to self-esteem.
This personal touch clearly resonates:
- Trust & Expertise: Clients express a rare level of trust in Falcone’s stylists, allowing them creative freedom.
- Comprehensive Care: Services extend beyond cuts and colour to include treatments, addressing overall hair health.
- Long-term Relationships: The story of the 25-year search highlights the value of finding a salon that's committed to maintaining relationships.
A Haven for All: Inclusivity & Accessibility at Falcone
Falcone Salon isn’t just focused on delivering beautiful hair; it’s fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment. The salon receives consistent praise for being LGBTQ+ friendly and promoting itself as a transgender safe space. This dedication to inclusivity extends beyond identity, with a robust range of accessibility features.
Here's a breakdown of Falcone's commitment to accessibility:
| Feature | Available |
|---|---|
| Wheelchair Car Park | Yes |
| Wheelchair Entrance | Yes |
| Wheelchair Seating | Yes |
| Wheelchair Accessible Toilet | Yes |
| Gender-Neutral Toilets | Yes |
| Standard Toilets | Yes |
Beyond these physical accommodations, the atmosphere is clearly one of kindness and understanding. The staff actively goes the extra mile, as exemplified by the story of Willow’s birthday haircut. The team didn’t just provide a stylish cut and blow-dry, they curated a special experience, complete with a hot chocolate, making the young client feel “confident and pampered”. This dedication to creating positive experiences extends to all clients, regardless of age.
