Japanese salon Shinka has been a Sydney staple since 2008. It boasts three Sydney CBD locations — one in The Galeries and another two along Clarence and Castlereagh Streets — and three more in Tokyo. You'll only find Japanese stylists at each Shinka branch, most of whom have experience working in Tokyo. The Sydney locations also offer luxurious interiors, like high cathedral ceilings, glazed walls and gold and white finishes. Cuts start at $70 for women and $60 for men, with colour treatments from $100 and balayage from $160. Alongside your usual cuts and blow drys, Shinka also offers Japanese and keratin hair straightening and digital perms — the latter will leave you with natural looking, bouncy curls.
