Tweed Heads’s Top 10 Hair Salons & Hairdressers

The Profile

Soda The Salon sits on the Coolangatta–Tweed Heads border and operates as a creative hair studio focused on high-skill colour work. The team profile emphasises colour correction, balayage and specialist blonding alongside precision cutting, and the studio markets a relaxed, authentic one-on-one client experience rather than a high-turnover floor operation.

Soda The Salon’s service design combines technical colour processes with restorative basin work, offering professional treatments such as OLAPLEX and K18 to protect and rebuild hair during lightening or corrective services. Stylists advertise extensive experience from across Australia and each cut includes a cleanse, head massage and tailored styling finish.

Soda The Salon runs six-day opening with three late-evening nights to suit after-work bookings and offers packaged appointments for full transformations that include extended attention and an extended head massage. The studio explicitly promotes one-on-one time with senior stylists and a creative director, making complex, time‑intensive projects practical for clients who need technical skill and scheduling flexibility.

Why It Made the List and Why It’s Our Top Pick

Soda The Salon tops the list because it pairs high-level corrective colour and balayage expertise with multiple senior stylists and extended opening hours, allowing serious blonde and correction projects to be completed with restorative treatments included. That mix of technical skill, time and in-chair care makes it the most complete local option for ambitious colour work.

Good to Know

Book a full consultation for major corrections and expect longer appointment slots; Soda operates six days a week with three late evenings, and many of its packages include OLAPLEX or K18 basin treatments, so notify the salon when booking to reserve sufficient time and the correct treatment products.
