OMBRE / BALAYAGE PACKAGE, $355 to $410
Read on 17 October 2026. Looking for Palmerston? Its salons are on the Palmerston hair salons page. How Starworks scores work.
As of October 2026, the three highest-ranked of the 8 Darwin salons whose own websites or booking menus offer balayage are Helmet Hair Studio (4.8 stars from 214 Google reviews), Fuse Hair and Beauty (4.8 stars from 116 Google reviews) and Tenda Salon (4.9 stars from 84 Google reviews), ranked by Starworks reputation score. Each listing on this page quotes the salon's own website or booking menu.
Two of the 8 listed salons print a price in the line we quote, as of 17 October 2026. Tenda Salon: "Balayage/Ombre (includes toning) from $255"; Darwin Hair Collective: "OMBRE / BALAYAGE PACKAGE, $355 to $410". The other 6 do not print one there. These are the salons' own published prices, which can depend on hair length and stylist; confirm when you book.
The order is the Starworks reputation score (from the Google rating, the number of Google reviews, a website and a phone number: the same score as every Starworks list and score page), then the number of Google reviews, then the name. Nothing else changes a position. No business can pay to be listed or ranked, and nothing is placed by hand.
The salon's own website has to offer balayage in a full sentence about its own services or on its own price list, or the online booking menu its site links to has to list it. Each listing quotes that line and links to where it was published. A review, a product for sale or a job ad does not count.
No. No business can pay to be listed or ranked on Starworks, and nothing on this page is placed by hand. A salon is listed because its own website or booking menu offers the service, and its position comes only from the published order.
No. Darwin here means the City of Darwin, by the postcode in each salon's own address: Darwin City (0800) and the inner, northern and eastern suburbs (0810, 0812 and 0820, with their post office box codes). Palmerston, Berrimah, Holtze and the rural area are not included. Palmerston's hair salons are ranked on the Starworks Palmerston hair-salon page, starworks.com.au/best/hair-salons/palmerston.
The list is built from what each salon's own website and booking menu say. 17 of the 46 Darwin salons Starworks holds have no website of their own on file, and 5 sites could not be read. If your site does not name the service in a sentence about your services or on a price list we read (a sentence that says "I" is read as a review), or your salon's Google listing is outside the City of Darwin, it will not appear. Say it on your site and it is picked up the next time the list is rebuilt.
This list was built from the salons' websites as read on 17 October 2026, with Google ratings as Starworks held them that day. It is rebuilt from scratch, by the same rules, whenever it is updated.
Darwin here means the City of Darwin, by the postcode in each salon's own address: Darwin City (0800) and the inner, northern and eastern suburbs (0810, 0812 and 0820, with their post office box codes). Palmerston, Berrimah, Holtze and the rural area are not included.
