From Johnston Street
to Brunswick Street

Cream Melbourne has been a Fitzroy hair salon since 2002. We began on Johnston Street and moved in 2016 to our current home at Level 1, 296 Brunswick Street — with the entrance still on Johnston Street, around the corner.

Since our founding, our salon has been built on a foundation of excellence in hairdressing and a dedication to providing the best possible customer experience. Not ones to believe in traditional advertising styles, we have been able to build our business purely on the words that our loyal clientele have helped us spread.

Two decades
in Fitzroy

2002

Cream is born on Johnston Street

We opened our first salon on Johnston Street in the heart of Fitzroy — a neighbourhood we would call home for more than two decades. Built on craft, referrals, and a genuine love of the work.

2016

Moving to the Fitzroy Post Office

We moved to Level 1, 296 Brunswick Street — the first floor of the original Fitzroy Post Office. Arched heritage windows, ornate cornices, gallery-white walls over black-timber floors. The entrance is still on Johnston Street, around the corner.

Today

Voted Melbourne's best, year after year

Recognised by Fashion Journal, Concrete Playground, and Time Out Melbourne among Melbourne's best hair salons, with a 4.9-star rating from 382 Google reviews — all built without traditional advertising.

Interpreting your
wishes into a look

To interpret our clients' wishes and resolve them into a fantastic look that not only suits them, but their lifestyle too. That is the guiding principle behind everything we do at Cream Melbourne.

Keeping up with the trends is not easy in today's world. But here at Cream, it's what we thrive on. Our daily lives are spent keeping an eye on the media and the street, always at the cutting edge of what is in and what is out.

"We want your style to be yours; something you love, something you can manage, something worth coming back for."

Excellence
is our culture

Excellence is our culture. We have been able to build our business purely on the words that our loyal clientele have helped us spread. Word of mouth is the highest compliment we can receive — and the only form of advertising we have ever needed.

Every visitor to our salon leaves with a quote provided before any service is performed. We believe in certainty: you'll always know what your service will cost before we begin.

Three things we
never compromise on

01

Craft

Every service, from a fringe trim to a full keratin treatment, is delivered with the same care and attention to technique that has kept our clients coming back since 2002.

02

Transparency

Tiered, published pricing across every service category. An all-inclusive quote before any service begins. No surprises — just certainty.

03

Responsibility

As a Sustainable Salons member, up to 95% of the waste we create is collected and given a second life. Good hair shouldn't cost the earth.

The best
products in town

We work with the best in-salon and take-home brands on the market. Every product we stock and use has been chosen for what it does, not for the label — and our team will always help you find the right care pack for your hair between visits.
