CAKE

CAKE is a boutique hair salon in Collingwood, specialising in blonde colour work and hair extensions. Its menu includes balayage and foil services, toners, scalp lightening, tinting and colour correction, along with cuts, blow waves, styling and smoothing treatments. Extension appointments start with a complimentary consultation, and keratin smoothing is priced according to hair length and density.

The salon is located on Rokeby Street and aims for a slower, more considered experience than a standard quick appointment. Guests can use complimentary Wi-Fi, with champagne and treats also available in the salon. Services are booked online through Timely, so it is best suited to clients planning a dedicated appointment rather than dropping in spontaneously.

CAKE is owned by Master Colourist Dan James, who took over the salon in 2024 after more than a decade in the Australian hair industry. His work focuses on precision and an unhurried approach. The salon may suit anyone looking for a focused colour or extension appointment, as well as clients booking event styling or a more relaxed hairdressing visit. It is at 13/26 Rokeby Street, Collingwood, and offers Afterpay in the salon.
