Red & Copper Hair Colourist in Sydney

Yes. I do offer online bookings, however the app can be tricky to navigate for first-time visits and colour appointments, especially when booking your colour with me and your haircut with a different stylist.

I’m happy to help you choose the correct appointment.

Here is the link for my online bookings.

If you need help, please call the salon on +61 2 9211 6631 or email me directly at hello@kristinarussell.com.au.

For all new colour and consultation enquiries, please enter your details and upload photos through my online booking request form.

Prices vary depending on the service, technique and colour plan required.

I have a price guide on my website. Please scroll higher on this page to view the guide.

Hair colour services are quoted before we commence. If you are a new client, or you would like a major colour change, the best first step is to book a consultation without a colour service on the same day.

Haircuts range from $170 to $220, depending on the stylist you book with after your hair colour appointment at AH Salon in Surry Hills.

Every client is different. Every head of hair has different outcomes based on varying factors, such as previous haircolour and cut history, the health of the hair, strength and other factors that can impact technique options. I will have you looking and feeling beautiful every time, however, some colour transformations might take 3-5 visits to achieve dramatic results. Smaller adjustments and revamp colours are usually achievable in just one session. The best way to achieve your desired dream hair is to book a consultation to discuss your vision and options.

Yes, absolutely. A consultation allows us to create a hair plan and, where needed, take a test strand to determine your best options before booking your hair colour appointment.

I charge $50 for a 20-minute consultation.

After the consultation, I will create a customised colour plan and quote. If you choose to proceed with booking a colour appointment for another date, a $200 deposit is required to secure the time for new clients.

Consultations are highly recommended for all new clients who are unsure of their options, anyone with existing damage or box dye in their hair and all colour correction requests.

I look forward to meeting you.

I offer pre-booking services and also operate with a waitlist to offer flexibility for different clients. The safer option is to book with a few weeks' notice, however, I understand some clients are not able to predict their rosters ahead of time. I only have 12 appointments available each week & will do my best to accommodate your requests.

Yes, I use K18 in the salon and I love it.

I’m a K18 Educator and Ambassador, so it is my preferred professional treatment system for supporting the strength, condition and integrity of the hair during colour services.

The in-salon K18 treatment is $70 and includes a 5ml take-home treatment to help support your hair after your appointment.

I also use the full K18 range in the salon, including K18 Detox Shampoo, Peptide Prep Shampoo, Damage Shield Shampoo and Damage Shield Conditioner.

The K18 take-home range is also available to purchase in salon, including the 15ml and 50ml Molecular Repair Hair Masks.

As a colourist who specialises in reds, coppers, colour corrections and transformations, hair condition is always part of the colour plan. K18 is one of the ways I support your hair throughout the process.

I offer a variety of brands that offer luxury results with ethical companies. I work with ammonia-free colour ranges by Kevin Murphy and Redken. I also stock varied vivid hair dyes for creative vivid hair painting and pastels, including evo Staino, Crazy Color and Manic Panic to name a few.

Yes, you need to confirm your appointment.

We automatically send a confirmation text 48 hours prior to your appointment as a friendly reminder. Our booking software requires you to reply YES to confirm your appointment. If your appointment is not confirmed, your booking may be cancelled.

At AH Salon, we use Fresha salon software for our appointments. We use card capture as security when booking. This card will not be charged unless you cancel within 48 hours of your booking or don't show up for your appointment.

Yes. I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. 

If you have confirmed your appointment and cancel within 48 hours of your booking, you will be charged a 50% fee of your colour booking.

If you cancel on the day of your appointment, arrive too late for the service to be possible or do not show up for your booking, you will be charged 100% booking fee.

Enforcing the late arrival and cancellation policy helps protect the time reserved for your appointment and supports the sustainability of my small business.

Clients have the choice to opt for either an Express Blast with minimal styling, treat & run or the full Monty bouncy blowdry or beach wave. Our curly hair clients that like to dry naturally have the option to sit under our heated drying lamp for accelerated air drying with products applied to enhance your curls.
