Having styled the hair of everyone from Cate Blanchett to Kendal Jenner, Nicole Ritchie to Miranda Kerr, it’s no exaggeration to call Anthony Nader one of Australia’s very best hair stylists. And despite his celebrity credentials, Anthony still brings the most warm, friendly, non-judgemental energy to his beautiful Surry Hills salon.
Now in its third location, RAW By Anthony Nader is a gorgeous, light-flooded space in Sydney’s trendy urban heartland, home to a large open room with 7 chairs, as well as a magical, sound-proofed relaxation pod room with four Japanese-made beds aligned with the basins for the most relaxing hair wash of your life. Here, with the fireplace flickering and a unique relaxation focused soundtrack setting the tone, every client receives a ten minute scalp massage – the superstar treatment isn’t reserved for just the A-listers.
When describing his styling philosophy, Anthony explains that beautiful hair is hair that looks natural – when I visited, the result was a fresh new look that was soft, perfectly styled and healthier than ever. The focus at Raw is on exceptional haircuts, but they offer excellent colour treatments and blow drys too.
Located just steps from some of Sydney’s best bars and restaurants, the vibe here is both friendly and exciting – you’ll feel at home, and you’ll leave wanting to take on the world.
