Self-Care's take
Silky Waves is the 2005 Bay Street European cutting room for colour, highlights, body waves, treatments and waxing on a relaxed floor. Named chairs in guest notes include Dimitris on colour and curly cutting, and Lisa on the floor. Phone bookings only on the named Bookwell venue. Official Thursday closes 8pm, while the homepage footer and Bookwell push Thursday to 9pm, so confirm that night before you travel. Closed Sunday and Monday. This is a destination colour chair for guests who want a long-stay family salon rather than a trend drop-in, and it is not True Colours further up Bay Street. Book Dimitris if you need foils or curly cutting, and ask for current colour menus because pricing is consult-led. Come for European cutting, not a $49 express trim.
More in Port MelbourneTreatments
European cutting is the 2005 house craft. Ask for Dimitris on curly cutting if that is why you travelled. This is not a lunchtime $49 trim. Closed Sunday and Monday, so plan the week around the trading block. Thursday is the late chair on the official block. Confirm 8pm versus the 9pm footer before you sit.
$Colour, highlights and body waves sit with consult-led menus. Guest notes name Dimitris on foils. Ask for current prices rather than guessing from an old card. True Colours at 379 is the Wella boutique further up the same street, a different door. Closed Sunday and Monday, so a weekend colour brief has to land Saturday.
$Waxing is on the salon menu beside hair, not a first-floor wax network. Ask areas when you book. Brazilian Butterfly at 322 Bay Street is upstairs and a different brand.
$Treatments sit with colour and waves. Ask what the treatment is for so the chair is timed. This is a family colour room, not a keratin mill without a conversation.

The street
236 Bay Street
Port Melbourne VIC 3207
236 Bay Street sits on the Port Melbourne shopping strip, well south of True Colours at 379 and Adora Haus at 313. Trams and the light rail serve Bay Street. This is not Oscar Charlie at 92, not Infinitii on Rouse Street, and not a Windsor hair index. Come for European cutting since 2005. Do not come because a Bookwell about line misspells the brand as Silk Waves. The door is Silky Waves. Read Thursday close on the official trading block, not the footer, unless they tell you otherwise. Ask the driver for 236, not 379 True Colours and not 92 Oscar Charlie.
