Rakis Hairdressing

Rakis is the epitomy of the Australian success story. Beginning as a one man operation in 1983, great service and brilliant cuts soon saw the saloon being invited to style for U2.

'At their hotel room, with Bono leaning over the bathtub as we rinsed out his colour - it was a surreal moment.'

In its 25-year history, Rakis has amassed over 100 business and industry awards, a clientele that ranges from politicians to celebrities, and appeared in dozens of magazines from Marie Claire to Vogue. They've been recognized by readers of The Age for cutting the best bobs in the biz, worked for shows as diverse as Giorgio Armani, Cartier, Gucci, L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival and Oakley, styled for film and television, and created an eclectic range of looks for their diverse range of clients.
