Meet Our Team
Mel
Salon Owner/Manager/Senior Stylist
With over 8 years of experience in the hair industry, my journey began right here at Hair On York. I trained under the salon’s previous owner, and from the start, I knew this industry was meant for me.
Growing up with thick, curly hair, I understand firsthand the challenges of managing certain hair types on a daily basis. That personal experience shaped my passion for helping others feel confident and empowered in their hair journey.
My mission as a business owner is to foster a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for both our clients and our team. I believe in continuous growth, which is why I prioritise ongoing education—ensuring our stylists stay inspired and up to date through regular training and courses.
My goal is simple: to equip my clients with the knowledge, tools, and techniques they need to maintain healthy, beautiful hair every day. Whether it’s through personalised styling tips or tailored product recommendations, I’m here to make your hair routine easier and more enjoyable—without compromising on health or style.
Rachel
Senior Stylist
With over 14 years in the hairdressing industry, I’ve built my career on creativity, colour, and connection. I began my journey with an apprenticeship in vibrant Newtown, Sydney, where I discovered my love for bright fashion colours—a passion that still drives me today.
For nearly a decade, I’ve been part of the team at Hair on York, where I specialise in bold fashion colours and beautifully lived-in blondes. I’m bubbly, quirky, and fun-loving, and I thrive on building genuine connections with my clients. Getting to know people one-on-one, talking all things hair (and life!), is one of the best parts of my job.
There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a client’s face light up when they see the final result. That moment—that confidence boost—is why I love what I do.
Tanya
Senior Stylist
I’ve been hairdressing for over 15 years—all of that time here at Hair on York. My passion lies in balayage, all foil work (including blondes and lived-in blondes), and styling—whether it’s soft curls or elegant up styles.
What I love most is helping my clients feel confident, beautiful, and truly themselves. Hair has always been a creative outlet for me, and I’m grateful to offer a warm, welcoming space where people can express who they are. Growing up, having my hair done always lifted my spirits—and now I get to share that same feeling with my clients every day.
Cat
Emerging Stylist
Ever since I was young, I’ve loved playing with hair and dreaming up bold new looks. That childhood passion stayed with me. I finally took the leap to follow my dream and train as a hairdresser. Now, I’m nearly finished with my course and couldn’t be more excited to start creating transformations full-time.
I have a special love for dramatic changes—bright, fashion-forward colours and precision cuts that completely reinvent a look. There’s something magical about finding the perfect cut or colour that brings out someone’s personality and makes them feel like the best version of themselves.
I’m all about good chats, big laughs, and creating a space where clients feel relaxed, heard, and most of all—special. Whether it’s a total transformation or a simple style refresh, I’m here to help people feel confident and fabulous.

I love creating a welcoming atmosphere for our clients, ensuring they feel good, comfortable, and relaxed during their visit. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a client walk out feeling lighter and brighter after their appointment!
Beyond my work with clients, I am dedicated to supporting my colleagues to foster a smooth-running, stress-free, and enjoyable work environment. Together, we strive to provide the best experience for every person who walks through our doors.
