Self-Care's take
Why book
this room.
Biba Gertrude St is Frank Apostolopoulos's colour room, the five-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year still setting the brief on Gertrude Street. Come here for placement and a cut that lasts, not a cheap walk-in. Guests talk about stylist continuity, rescue appointments after a bad colour elsewhere, and a warm floor that does not rush the formula. The aggregate sits around 4.4 rather than a clean sweep, so read recent notes and ask who is on the chair. Wednesday and Thursday run late, which is the booking you want if you work a long inner-north day. The group keeps an online retail store if you need to recreate the finish at home. Book colour or a restyle if you want a destination Gertrude Street chair, name your stylist, and confirm colour timing before you sit down.
More in FitzroyTreatments
ColourHair
Colour is why the door exists. Placement, not a strip tint. Guests book rescue hours after a bad formula elsewhere. Ask who is mixing. Confirm timing. Late Wednesday and Thursday are the colour nights if you work a long day. This is $$ destination work. Skip it if you wanted a twenty-dollar Lygon walk-in.
$$CutsHair
Cuts sit beside colour so the shape still holds after the pigment settles. Name a restyle versus a tidy. Continuity of stylist is the guest note that matters. Saturday opens early. Sunday is closed. Ask for the chair by name. Do not expect an express lunchtime trim on Gertrude.
$$StylingHair
Styling is the finish that makes the colour look effortless on the day. The group store is there if you need to recreate it at home. Book styling with a cut if you want the full Gertrude brief. Occasion blow-dries still need a slot, not a walk-up. Confirm who is finishing before you travel.
$$The craft
What this room
actually owns.
Frank Apostolopoulos is the published brief: five-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year still owning Gertrude Street colour. Official copy wants you to get the most out of your hair, which in this room means placement and a cut that lasts, not a cheap walk-in toner. Guests talk stylist continuity and rescue hours after a bad colour elsewhere. The Birdeye index sits around 4.4, so read recent chair notes and name who you want. An online store keeps the finish at home. Book colour if you can give the chair time. Skip it if you wanted an express Brunswick Street trim.
First visit
How the hour
should go.
Closed Sunday and Monday. Wednesday and Thursday run to 9pm, the useful inner-north late. Tuesday and Friday close 7pm. Saturday 8:30am-5pm. Call 03 9419 4433 or email hello@bibagertrudest.com.au. Name your stylist. Ask for colour timing before you sit, because a formula is not a thirty-minute add-on. Read recent notes if the 4.4 aggregate bothers you. Book a restyle only if you can stay for the cut as well as the colour. Recreate the finish from the group store later. This is Gertrude Street, not a Brunswick walk-in. Name the colour chair and confirm 237 Gertrude Street tonight.
The street
Why this place,
on this street.
237 Gertrude Street
Fitzroy VIC 3065
Gertrude Street is the east-west spine, not Brunswick. Biba is 237, a destination colour door rather than a cafe pit stop. Cloud Aesthetics sits at 166 with a short Thursday-to-Saturday week. skn + co. is 94, doctor-led and menu-shy. Tram 86 runs Smith Street a block east; Gertrude itself is a walk from the Brunswick 11. Saturday opens 8:30am. Sunday stays shut. Johnston Street holds La Belle at 2/89 and endota at 93, a different spine. Come for Frank's colour room. Do not come because you wanted a consult syringe at 166 or a needling chat at 94. Confirm 237 Gertrude on the glass.
