Kenrick Street, The Junction6 minutes from Adamstown by car
The Fernleigh Track starts in Adamstown. A haircut here has to look right after a helmet, a run and a Saturday at the oval.
Adamstown is named after Thomas Adam, who bought a 54-acre Crown grant, and its station on Park Avenue has been taking trains since 1887. The suburb straddles two councils, Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, and it's where the Fernleigh Track begins, a rail trail of about 15.5 km down to Belmont. Adamstown Oval was the first home ground of the Rosebud football club, formed in 1889. So Adamstown hair gets a lot of outdoor time: under a bike helmet, tied back for a run, out in the sun on the sideline.
- Cuts that dry well after the rail trail
- Shaped so it falls back into place once a helmet comes off at the Adamstown end of the Fernleigh Track, without a blow-dry.
- Blonde that copes with trail sun
- Jess tones a little cooler for people who spend weekends riding or running the Fernleigh, because UV warms blonde towards brass.
- 8am Saturdays before the oval
- We open at 8am on Saturday, early enough for a cut and still be at Adamstown Oval with the folding chairs by mid-morning.
A hairdresser Adamstown people fit around the weekend
Adamstown has its own shops and its own station. People still drive the 4 km to us because of who's behind the chair: Mika for dry curly cuts, Jess for blonde and toning, Lena when a colour has gone wrong and needs correcting properly, at $150 an hour.
The other reason is the clock. Thursday runs until 8pm, and Saturday starts at 8am, which suits anyone whose weekdays are spoken for and whose weekends start on a bike.
Hair that spends its time outside
Much of our Adamstown work is about recovery. A cut that only works after twenty minutes with a round brush is no use to someone who rides to work or runs the rail trail before breakfast. So we look at where your hair naturally falls, cut into that, and show you how it dries on its own.
Colour gets the same thinking. Sun is hard on blonde, and a toner chosen for an office week fades warm after a summer outdoors. Jess will often go a shade cooler, then book a toner refresh at the halfway point. Grey blending works well here too, because soft lights through grey grow out without a hard line. More on both is on the hair colour page, and our cuts page has the shapes.

Questions from Adamstown
How long is the drive from Adamstown to the salon?
About six minutes. We measured it from Adamstown station, on Park Avenue, to Kenrick Street in The Junction, which is 4.0 km by road.
Is there a hair salon near Adamstown that cuts for helmet hair?
We do. Tell us at the consultation that you ride or run the Fernleigh Track and we'll shape the cut to recover from a helmet or a ponytail without heat.
How often should I get a haircut if I'm outdoors a lot?
Every six to eight weeks for a shorter shape, ten to twelve for long hair. Sun and wind dry out the ends faster, so outdoor people often come in at the shorter end of that range.
What does balayage cost with Jess?
Jess is a senior stylist, so balayage with her starts at $310, toner included, and takes about three hours. Long or thick hair can move that, and we'll tell you at the consultation.
Can I book a curly cut from Adamstown?
Yes. Mika cuts curls dry over 75 minutes, and as a senior stylist her curly cut is $115. It's worth the six-minute drive if your last wet cut sprang up shorter than you asked for.
Do I need a skin test before my first colour?
Yes, if you're new to colour with us. The colour makers' instructions say at least 48 hours before, and it's a five-minute visit you can tack onto a trip to The Junction.
