Low Sensory Salon in East Melbourne
By MARK L HAIR
Finding a hairdresser is a difficult mission. They need to be good at what they do, and you have to be able to connect with them! its more than just the hair, its the bond as well, right?
and then sometimes you find the right hairdresser. They tick all your boxes, and you would do anything to make sure they are the ones who do your hair.
But it’s the salon itself that turns you away!
They are too brightly lit, they have music blasting on full volume. The phone is ringing and ringing, and in some salons they have multiple phones!
you can hear the dryer in their laundry drying towels and every hairdresser is talking to their client, and the client back to the stylist. Some salons use products that are highly fragrant and filled with perfumes that can really overwhelm our sense of smell.
We haven’t even mentioned everyone’s blow dryers yet!
Getting your hair done shouldn’t have to be such a hyper-sensory experience. You should be able to get your hair done and feel relaxed, pampered and ready to tackle the rest of your day – in style!
At MARK L HAIR we have flipped the script on what being a high quality salon could look like. Located on Camberwell road bordering Hawthorn East and Camberwell, you will find tucked away inside Salon Studios our boutique hair colour suite.
Our suite is adorned by tall ceilings with a floor to roof window that allows the natural light to fill in beautifully.
Soft natural and nude tones feel like a warm hug inside our space.
We love to listen to a 90’s/early 2000’s mix at an appropriate volume, if I do say so myself.
Blow drying is effortless when we are styling with the Dyson supersonic. Our favourite hair tool. powerful, but much quieter than your standard dryer!
Hair care is provided by System Professional. A high quality range designed to tailor your individual hair and scalp needs while being unassuming in their fragrance. We think you will quite enjoy them!
Getting your hair done
doesn't need to be overwhelming
The best part of the experience at MARK L HAIR, is that every service is delivered 1 on 1. This is done purposefully. Not only does it allow us to focus our attention on you to create the most tailored results, but it allows you, as our client to come as yourself and enjoy the experience from start to finish.
Many of our clients like to utilise the time developing to work on life or work admin. Some read a book or listen to audiobooks / podcasts. Some bring their handheld Nintendos or so fourth.
Others use the time after work to have dinner ordered with no interruption.
Don’t think that the focus on keeping MARK L HAIR low sensory means there is any compromise to our colour or techniques.

Accredited by Wella Professionals as a Master Colour Expert in 2023, Mark brings a wealth of technical and practical knowledge to give you the best results for your hair and your lifestyle.
MARK L HAIR was created with the understanding that clients want amazing hair, but they often find the salon experience overwhelming and draining.

Availability is limited as demand for a low sensory salon increases.
We look forward to meeting you and showing you our difference!

From the moment I walked through the door Mark greeted me with such warmth and professionalism! We had a lengthy consultation where he truly listened and understood exactly what I was looking for. The result was beyond spectacular! I am in love with my hair. This was my first visit with Mark and I walked away with the most beautiful blonde colour and cut that I have ever had in my life! Mark is a magician and an incredible artist. If you are considering seeing him, do it, I promise you will not be disappointed! 😍

Mark is AMAZINGGGG! He absolutely slayed my hair (like always), offers tips and tricks so I can do it myself and constantly prioritises maintaining the health of your hair and creating fantastic results. Another hair dresser turned me away earlier in the day for feeling “uncomfortable” to compromise on what I wanted, which Mark went above and beyond for to save my hair from some of my own clueless mistakes. Absolutely thrilled, love your work and our time together. And I’ll be seeing you soon doll xx

Mark is a fabulous hairdresser and more than that, a beautiful service provider. He always tries to accommodate you on time, product and style. I have tricky blonde hair and work on camera so if it goes wrong I don’t have time to fix it!

Isobel
I had my hair coloured by Mark and he was brilliant!!! It was the first time I ever got my hair coloured so I was a bit vague, but nevertheless Mark walked me through the process explaining everything clearly and without any pressure. Ontop of everything he worked very well with my super curly hair which often stops me from going to hairdressers 😬. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!!!
Emer
Couldn’t recommend Mark enough, he made me so comfortable always checking up throughout the whole appointment and made my hair look absolutely beautiful. The colour and cut gave me so much more confidence and I can’t wait for my next appointment:)
