After perfectly symmetrical arches or a fluttery set of lashes? These salons have got you covered
They may not take up much real estate on the face, but good set of brows or lashes can make a world of difference. So it makes sense that we put a lot of though into ho looks after them, as anyone who has had a bad experience getting their brows or lashes groomed, fluffed, laminated or lifted knows it's important to only go to the best.
Whether you’re getting them done for the first time, reeling from an appointment gone wrong or your usual spot is booked out, we’ve put together a list of the best brow and lash salons around Melbourne. We’re pretty spoilt for choice in Melbourne when it comes to beauty, so you just know these are the crème de la crème (or should we say brow de la brow?). A word of warning, though — get that appointment booked as soon as you can, as they get nabbed up pretty quick.
There are few things more satisfying than freshly scultped eyebrows — and no one understands this better than the team at Fluffy, who are experts in all things brow grooming. Aptly named, the studio specialises in brow lamination, the art of treating eyebrows to be stylable to your taste (trust us, it's kind of life changing).
If you like your brows with a side of chic neutral tones and a calming aesthetic, Brow House is for you. Located on Richmond’s Swan Street, the salon underwent a refined renovation to make it the stunning space it is. The therapists at Brow House pride themselves on providing a bespoke service that compliments each person individually, steering clear of a ‘one brow fits all’ approach. Their services range from brow lifts, commonly known as brow lamination, to make brows fuller, to brow sculpting and brow tinting. The signature look at Brow House is gorgeous fluffy brows, so it’s the place to go if you’re looking for a bit more volume.
Boasting thousands of followers on Instagram, the Brow and Lash Co has cemented itself as the go-to salon for influencers and everyday people alike. With luxe, stylish salons in Camberwell and Prahran, it offers a hefty catalogue of services, including full silk, hybrid and Russian volume lash extensions, alongside keratin lash lifts, brow threading and henna brows. The lash technicians are so good that they even offer an online training academy for aspiring lash and brow aficionados.
Alison Jade has long been known as the pioneer of good brows. Her salon in Perth fast became the heralded spot to get your brows done, and its success helped her expand over to Melbourne with her Prahran salon. Alison has built up a bit of a reputation, making sure the therapists in her salon satisfy the high standard she’s set when it comes to working brow magic. She offers the classics, including brow lamination, henna brows, waxing and lash lifts, and also specialises in eyebrow tattooing if you’re wanting a more permanent fix.
Play is a Northside gem that may be lesser known than the rest, but still packs a punch when it comes to brow styling and lash lifts. It opts for brow threading instead of waxing, but it's best known for its quality lash lifts and lash extensions that look good and last for ages. A great option if you live north, and don’t want to travel into the CBD for your brow and lash treatments.
With three locations in Melbourne (Camberwell, South Yarra and Northcote), Simply Brows and Lashes has been dishing up its services to people from all parts of the city. Don’t let the name fool you – Simply offers just about anything when it comes to brows and lashes, from lash extensions, to brow waxing, threading, laminating and tattooing. And, if you get a lash lift, the salon will even throw in a complimentary tint.
With four stores in outer Melbourne (Oakleigh, Ascot Vale, Hampton and Berwick), Lash Envy is the number-one suburban destination for full, fresh lashes. Whether you’re after a more natural look, or you’re wanting to go full glam, its lash experts know just how to make your eyes pop. And for just $15, you can add colourful lashes to any classic, hybrid or volume set. Groovy, baby!
It wouldn’t be a complete list without mentioning Korea Beauty. Conveniently located right in the middle of the CBD, its eyelash extension specialists use the latest Korean techniques to give you lush lashes that last. Look, we all know how great K Beauty is, so you know you’re in for a treat here.
