Kenrick Street, The Junction(02) 5550 3175

Ten minutes from most of Newcastle, and nowhere near a shopping centre car park.

The Junction sits about 2.8 km south-west of Newcastle's city centre, between Merewether, Bar Beach, Cooks Hill and Hamilton South. It's a small suburb with a village feel, named for the coal railway junction that once split here, and it's where most of inner Newcastle comes for a coffee, a bookshop and, increasingly, a haircut. Being here rather than in a centre means you park on a quiet street and walk thirty metres to the door.

From the city and The Hill: 2.3 km and about four minutes by car from Newcastle Interchange, and buses run between the city and The Junction through the day.
From the beaches: Bar Beach is two minutes away by car and Merewether four, both close enough to walk over on a Saturday morning.
From the west and south: Hamilton is about five minutes' drive, Adamstown six, New Lambton seven, and Kotara and Charlestown ten.

A Newcastle salon, without the shopping centre

We chose a side street in The Junction because of how people actually get to a hair appointment: they drive in, catch a bus, or walk over from the beach, and they want to park close and walk in without a ticket machine.

From here we look after most of inner Newcastle. The suburbs that book with us most each have their own page below: getting here, parking, and what that part of town tends to book.
