Michelle is awesome! She just knows my hair and the colours that work. When I want to be creative in colour changes she always comes up with a solution that works. She really know her stuff. And she’s the only hairdresser I’ve found who can cut my kids’ hair properly.

This is a brilliant gem on Rose St. for beautiful hair and professional make up. I have always been very happy having my hair done here for years and never once have been disappointed. I feel it’s especially important as a client to have the level of treatment where you feel you’re actually valued and cared about - and Michelle does an incredible job of that. She is very efficient and ensures that you look and feel amazing every time! I can confidently say my hair has never been healthier and it feels like silk. I absolutely love feeling pampered here and I won’t go anywhere else!

Michelle is amazing, very professional and always does a great job. I have been going to Essendon and Hair Makeup for over two years, have recently moved out to the West and still travel 25K's to get my hair done here.

Wonderful, friendly, community minded hair salon. Michelle is a wonderful hairdresser who I have been getting my hair cut and coloured with for about 17 years and have always been happy with the results. She's taken me through many years of (natural looking) blonde foils, and back to my natural brown. She even rescued a completely botched blonde job that I got done while travelling overseas. She's always friendly and accommodating, and great value too. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Just what the Doctor ordered!
After months of waiting for my hair to grow after Chemotherapy I decided I couldn't wait any longer!
My sister in law recommended hair extensions so I started doing some research online and found Essendon Hair and Makeup.
What an amazing find :) Michelle is obviously extremely experienced and I knew instantly I was in good hands and what a beautiful soul she is.
I don't think I've ever been to a hairdresser who is so passionate, innovative, creative and dedicated to her customers, craft and business and I was certainly transformed in many ways when I walked out of her salon on Sunday :)
Hand on heart I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I have made for myself and would obviously highly recommend anyone who has been through Cancer and Chemotherapy to take the plunge. Fantastic morale booster and you will finally find a dream hairdresser who truly cares. Michelle I can't thank you enough! xxx

Really great salon who managed to fit me in at this hectic time for hairdressers. Michelle is friendly and professional, the salon is clean and feels light and Hazel the younger staff member was a star who took alot of time and care with my hair - as did Michelle. Def recommend :)

I found Essendon Hair & Makeup in a last minute scramble to get my hair cut and styled the next morning. I am so lucky to have found them! They were so accommodating, the salon is beautiful and the staff were all lovely. The best part was how reasonably priced it was, and how great my hair looked. Thanks for your incredible service- I will be back!

Approximate cost: $75

Michelle is incredible! I went to the salon in search of Help with my hair a mess and In need of some serious TLC. Michelle was able to get my hair to the exact colour I wanted and made me feel comfortable from the start. I have been all over melbourne searching for someone to do this but Michelle is the only one who has been successful she has so much knowledge in the industry and you can tell she really cares about her clients and there needs! I will definitely only be coming back to here FINALLY! I have found an amazing hairdresser in melbourne. Thank you Michelle

Michelle is incredible and all the staff are so lovely. First time I went there a couple of months ago, I was promised I'd have a perfect white blonde going through my natural mouse brown by the second time, and that's exactly what's happened. It's also a really relaxed and chilled vibe in there.
Thank you so much! First time I've ever truly felt listened to, in a salon.
