OUR
STORY
After many years of working in salons and as hairdressing educators all over the world and Australia, owners Dea and Vicki crossed paths when they were both teaching hairdressing at TAFE. They soon realised that they had a similar sense of humour and ideas about life and instantly became friends.
In 2018, Over a few glasses (bottles) of wine, lots of laughs and sharing their dreams, it soon became clear they both had a vision of building a fun, environmentally conscious, unpretentious salon where everyone was and could be themselves. They found the perfect little space tucked in amongst the boutiques, bars and cafes in Ebenezer place.. Straight away they knew this was the place and Orenda hair was born.

GENDER NEUTRAL
Most salons have services that are for male or female and their price structure is based on these genders. Why should you pay more or less for the same service because of the gender you identify as. We believe that this is both discriminatory, and can be intimidating for people that are non-binary or gender fluid. Orenda hair is an inclusive space for everyone one to feel comfortable and enjoy a great salon experience and be able to have the hair that expresses their style.
Our prices are based on hair length, time of service and amount of product not gender. This is a fairer and more inclusive way of doing things and respects each individual’s gender-identity
OH...Everyone should be their authentic self without question
