Salon Express

Salon Express is an Australian hairdressing franchise providing a range of hair care services and retail products. The brand provides haircuts, styling, and chemical treatments for women, men, and children. In addition to professional salon services, the business retails hair care tools and consumables, including specialized equipment like triple barrel curling irons and dryers. The business model utilizes a walk-in service format, operating without the requirement for prior appointments. This approach is designed to foster brand loyalty toward the franchise rather than individual stylists, aiming for service consistency across the network. Operations are primarily centered in storefront locations, with some units offering extended hours on Sundays and public holidays. Revenue is generated through tiered service packages, individual hair treatments, and the sale of hair care products, including through automated retail channels such as hair care vending machines. Founded in 1996, the brand has grown to a network of approximately 21 units, with a primary geographic footprint in Western Australia. The franchise is part of the Express Retail Group and supports a structured support system for partners covering operational management, marketing, and staff training. The brand reached its 30-year operational milestone in 2025.
