TONI&GUY Brighton

Shop 4, 10 Church Street , VIC, Brighton, Victoria, 3186

About us

One of the founding TONI&GUY salons in Victoria, Brighton burst onto the hairdressing scene in May 2004. After an extremely successful run from 2009, where Brighton was consistently one of the top performing salons nationally, it has now become the new project for Stuart Freeman, who took the ownership from 2017.

Since 2013, we have provided wig trims, fittings and advice to patients of Cabrini Hospital. Our weekly commitment has allowed not only patients of Cabrini, but any resident in the Bayside catchment area to access professional advice and care at no cost.

Annually, we sponsor every local school through their fund-raisers and participate in their offshoot charities.

Tell us about your team?

Our salon family is led by Stuart, who also leads our styling team, which consists of Emma, Paul, Een, Peggy and Luc. Nichola and Evarna head up our colour team. Always on the floor are our amazing assistants Chanel, Kelly & Tanya, and Flick covers the reception area. Our team specialise in either colour or styling so that our clients have the opportunity to have the best of both worlds in the one visit. This also creates a team-based atmosphere, as we consult each client together.

Our team is diverse, and this is reflective of their time in the company. Many of our staff have been leading educators over the years and have many awards and accolades to their names. We believe in education and the philosophy behind TONI&GUY, we love to learn and to teach others and place a great deal of emphasis on continual education from our apprentices through to our seniors.

Why should people come to your salon?

Just off the hustle and bustle of charming Church Street in Brighton, lies one of Melbourne’s best-kept secrets, TONI&GUY Brighton. This dynamic, fashion-forward salon, encapsulates the essence of Brighton, bringing style and creativity right to the heart of Church Street.

We maintain a green policy and keep to a stringent recycling regime so that waste is minimal. We encourage our clients who have re-styles to send their ponytails to ‘Variety Children’s Charity’ and use REFOIL recycled aluminium foil in the salon. We keep paper usage to a minimum and we aim to be paperless within the year.

We’re a 5-star accredited Gold Salon Select member through the Australian Hairdressing Council, and we offer a 5-star service for each and every visit!

Everyone is so friendly and nice at this studio. You really feel welcomed. The music is good and not too loud and they mix it up. You are offered drinks upon arrival and throughout and I had a lovely wine that was so nice after a crazy day at work.

The colour wasn’t totally what I wanted- I feel it’s my issue as I don’t think I ever explain myself properly. I wanted to come away looking blonde however, I’m more brunette than I was expecting. I don’t believe it’s the colourists fault though.

The cut is consistently good and a nice blow wave at the end.

I was a little taken aback by the price, the colourist was talking about something that’s in the colour that helps with keeping your hair strong and something to take home. I just nodded along and thought I’ll just say at the end I don’t want the conditioner. Again this is my issue for not clarifying that a conditioning treatment was added to the colour and a conditioning treatment comes with it to take home would be charged to my final price.
She talked a lot about shampoo and conditioners that would be good for my hair which again I nodded along to and again at the end said I didn’t want. I get rather intimidated by people and don’t want to be rude.
At the end I said I didn’t want any of the products but they said I had to take the conditioner as it was part of the package I agreed on. They were very nice about it and the stylist asked me are you ok. I said oh ok and then I paid. I just felt bad as I think it might be good to advise people of the price so they make an informed decision. I feel a little stupid. It’s more my fault as I should have asked instead of just nodding along but you can see how some shy people might feel.
I will still definitely return I truly like this salon I just have to make sure to ask how much things are and feel more confident to say no if I can’t afford it.
I’m sure the products are great and my hair would really benefit from them.

Very busy salon and music quite loud so wasn’t exactly a relaxing trip to the hairdressers that I was looking forward to (ie getting a couple of hours away from my kids of pampering), some peace in the dark room where you hair is washed was nice. I’m pretty sure I was overcharged according to website pricing for toning, however all staff had terrific people skills and provided terrific service (mark or Mat who colored and Sofie (cut) Emma on reception.
