What is African Haircare and Beauty known for?
208 Nicholson is the African hair and beauty salon food guides skip because they stop at Queen of Sheba and Addis Abeba. The chair is hair: braids, weaves, products, weekday work. Ethiopian rooms share the strip. They are neighbours, not this business.
This is the north door. Walk south and you hit Medra-Genet at 117, then Roha at 95, then Little Saigon grocers. People quote "the African salon on Nicholson" and mean three shops. 208 is this one.
No official site in this directory. The phone is the booking. Staff language is not listed here. Ask when you arrive.
How do you book, and what do you bring?
Call (03) 9687 9888. Book ahead if the style is long. Bring extra hair, a photo, and time. Protective styles are not a lunch-break fade.
If you wanted Genet's boutique with injera in the room, that is 117. If you wanted wigs and silk press, Roha at 95 is the next check. If you wanted Paisley, that is Salon Africa.
Walk-ins happen if the chair is free. Saturday still waits. Ask whether the pack of hair is included before you sit, so you are not sent back out to Nicholson grocers mid-install.
