About

The Salon

For those who appreciate the finer things, there’s no looking past the expert skills and tailored experience offered at MATILDA, where structure and analysis meets creativity and personalisation.

We believe in choosing and tailoring techniques to suit the individual needs of the client and their everyday relationship with their hair. It’s about more than creating dream hair – it’s about nurturing your hair to its full potential, while also considering your lifestyle and looking after the health of your hair at every step. 

We love the problem solving and science behind colour and cut, partnering strong technical colour theory with the art of freehand techniques, while precision cutting to enhance your features.There are no quick fixes here.

Embracing the symbiosis generated by harnessing long-term relationships with our clients, we build understanding and trust; in turn, our clients experience a sense of ongoing collaboration and true investment.

MATILDA is set in a beautiful bluestone cottage at 22 The Parade West, Kent Town. Stepping into our salon is a truly sensory experience. With every detail of your salon visit thought through, you can leave your day at the door and truly relax and indulge as we take care of the process of creating the healthy, effortlessly beautiful hair you deserve.

About the Owner

Working in the industry for twelve years, Matilda Harrison chose to complete her apprenticeship in Australia’s fashion capital, Sydney. Benefiting from training in arguably Australia’s top editorial salon, Matilda honed her craft alongside the cream of the industry. Working on MBFWA for three years she also enjoyed incredible opportunities on photoshoots assisting Australia’s leading editorial stylists, while working on a celebrity clientele including performing artists and media personalities.
Returning to Adelaide armed with the skills required to excel, Matilda has focused her attention on her true passion: making salon clients feel special. 

After 5 years working in a leading Hyde Park salon, it was time to branch out and create something of her own. Thus, MATILDA was born.
