302 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North VIC 3054. Phone 0405 056 715. Email info@lolafortune.com.au. Not Madam Frou Frou at 110, endota at 643, or Atone at 797. Four Rathdowne beauty doors. Confirm 302 if a map still flattens the street. No off-street parking. Newry and Lee have four-hour bays. Rathdowne is one to two hours.

Google Business Profile: Monday 12pm-8pm, Tuesday 10am-5pm, Wednesday and Thursday 10am-8pm, Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday closed. Official contact still prints Mon-Tue 10am-6pm and Friday from 11am. Stylists work different rosters; confirm your chair.

FAQ: 48 hours notice refunds the deposit. Under 48 hours, if the appointment does not fill after waitlist and socials, they invoice 50 percent of the service. All new clients and online bookings require a deposit. More than 15 minutes late can be rescheduled at 50 percent. They will try to amend if you are under 15 minutes. Keep the window or pay.

The FAQ says no off-street parking. Street parking includes 4 hour spaces on Newry Street and Lee Street, and 1-2 hour spaces on Rathdowne Street. Tell your stylist if you may need to move the car during a long colour. Budget the walk. Do not assume a salon car park behind the plants.

Use the online portal. New colour and restyle cuts need a consultation form covering hair history, a current photo and the desired outcome before they confirm. Compromised hair or corrections may need a complimentary in-person consult. A deposit holds the chair. Arrive with reasonably clean, dry hair unless a cleanse is booked. Chlorine, salt and heavy oils can wreck the brief.

Skip it if you cannot keep a 48-hour window, if Sunday is your only day, or if you need a Lygon walk-in. Skip it if you wanted Madam Frou Frou's LED, endota's spa, or Atone's Dermapen. Book it if you want lived-in colour and a calm North Carlton hour. Ask for Minka or Adair. Take 302 only.
