Self-Care's take
Why book
this room.
Heading Out Hair and Beauty belongs to Caterina Di Biase, the four-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year who still works the Brunswick Street floor after more than three decades in the chair. This is a colour and occasion house, not a walk-in express cut. Kerastase sits on the back bar. The work that leaves the room is bridal, race-day and the kind of finish that has to hold under a Melbourne Cup hat. Di Biase directed Miss Universe Australia hair from 2018 to 2022, which sets the standard: editorial placement, not a rushed toner. The Fitzroy studio runs late Thursday nights and opens from 6am on Cup Day for hair and makeup. A second room in Balwyn North keeps the same hand if you live east. Book colour, bridal or Cup work if you want a named chair, and confirm the current menu on the studio site before you travel.
More in FitzroyTreatments
ColourHair
Colour here is placement for an occasion, not a cheap toner before dinner. Kerastase sits on the published back bar. Di Biase's Miss Universe Australia years set the standard: editorial, not rushed. Ask for timing before you sit. A full map is not a walk-in add-on. Book if you want a named colour chair. Skip it if you wanted a twenty-dollar strip tint.
$$CutsHair
Cuts live beside colour on the same floor, built for a finish that still holds under a hat or a veil. This is not an express lunchtime trim. Name whether you need a restyle or a tidy so the slot is the right length. Ask who is cutting if you came for Caterina. Saturday opens early. Sunday stays shut.
$$BeautyHair
Beauty is listed on the Fitzroy salon page beside hair, so the house can do more than a cut on the same visit. Confirm the live beauty menu on headingout.com.au. Do not assume waxing or facials from a neighbouring door. Book the beauty slot as its own hour if you are stacking Cup makeup.
$$MakeupHair
Makeup is the Cup-morning craft. Official copy opens the Fitzroy room from 6am on Melbourne Cup Day for hair and makeup. This is race-day and occasion finish, not a ten-minute tint. Book ahead. Thursday late is useful for a trial. Balwyn North is a different booking if you live east.
$$BridalHair
Bridal is a published Heading Out service, not a last-minute add-on the morning of. Trial the hair and makeup before the day. The same floor does colour, so a pre-wedding colour map should be booked as colour, not squeezed into the bridal hour. Ask who owns the wedding chair.
$$The craft
What this room
actually owns.
Caterina Di Biase is still the product. Official copy puts a four-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year on the Brunswick Street floor after more than thirty years in the chair, with Miss Universe Australia hair direction from 2018 to 2022 sitting behind the brief. Kerastase is the published back bar. This is occasion hair: bridal, race-day, a finish that has to live under a Melbourne Cup hat rather than a twenty-minute toner. Beauty and makeup sit in the same house so Cup morning can be one roof. Balwyn North is the east sister, not a substitute for this door. Book the named chair. Skip it if you wanted a cheap walk-in on the 399 block.
First visit
How the hour
should go.
Closed Sunday and Monday. Thursday runs to 9pm. Saturday opens 8am. Melbourne Cup Day is listed from 6am for hair and makeup. Book colour or bridal in advance. This is not a walk-in express cut. Ask who is on the chair if you want Caterina. Name whether the hour is hair, beauty or makeup so the slot is honest. Phone 03 9419 1448 or email hello@headingout.com.au. Leave extra minutes for metered parking or the Bullring. Confirm the Fitzroy door, not Balwyn North, before you travel. Say 225 Brunswick when you call, not ByFitzroy at 230.
