Self-Care's take
Why book
this room.
True Colours is Elizabeth Tedesco's 1987 Bay Street boutique, still framed as a Wella Professional salon for expert colour, blonde work, precision cuts, smoothing treatments, extensions and Kérastase plus Sebastian retail. Official Saturday closes 1pm, and Monday and Sunday are shut, while Bookwell prints a longer Saturday. Use the official grid. Two phone digits circulate, so use the number on the studio site. Google notes on that page sit at 4.8 from 31 reviews. This is a destination colour house for guests who want a consultation-led blonde or colour brief, not Silky Waves and not a lunchtime express cut. Book ahead for Saturday because the official close is early. Ask for the colour consult if you are new, and confirm Saturday 1pm if that is your only window.
More in Port MelbourneTreatments
ColourHair
Wella colour and blonde work are the 1987 brief. Official page quotes first-time colour guests who felt in good hands, and a 15-year loyal client. Ask for the consult, not a silent toner. Pricing is destination, not $49 Clarendon. Two phones circulate. Use 03 9645 5518, and know Bookwell still prints 03 9646 5518.
$$CutsHair
Precision cuts sit with colour. Thursday is the late night. Saturday dies at 1pm official, which wrecks a lazy lunch plan. Book the cut as part of the colour hour if that is the brief. Closed Sunday and Monday, so the week has to work around that shut pair.
$$TreatmentsHair
Smoothing treatments sit with Kerastase and Sebastian retail. Ask what you want the hair to do for the next six weeks, not just the hour. This is not a cheap keratin mill. Saturday dies at 1pm official, so a treatment plus colour stack needs an earlier chair.
$$ExtensionsHair
Extensions are on the official list beside colour. Ask which system and whether blonde work happens in the same visit. Infinitii on Rouse Street is a different extension house after a move from Bay Street. Ask whether the extension hour is the same visit as blonde work, or a second booking.

What this room
actually owns.
True Colours is Elizabeth Tedesco's 1987 Bay Street boutique, still framed as a Wella Professional salon for expert colour, blonde work, precision cuts, smoothing treatments, extensions and Kerastase plus Sebastian retail. Official Saturday closes 1pm. Monday and Sunday are shut. Bookwell prints a longer Saturday. Use the official grid. Two phone digits circulate: official 03 9645 5518 versus Bookwell 03 9646 5518.

Book Saturday early.
First visit
How the hour
should go.
Call 03 9645 5518 or email truecolours@bigpond.com. Official hours: closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 10am-6pm, Thursday 10am-8pm, Friday 10am-7pm, Saturday 9am-1pm, closed Sunday. Bookwell keeps Saturday to 5pm. Use official. Saturday is an early close, so book it if that is your only window. Ask for a colour consult if you are new. Say blonde, cut, smoothing or extensions. This is not a walk-in slogan shop. Bring the blonde brief, not a silent toner photo. Say True Colours at 379 Bay, official phone 03 9645 5518, not the Bookwell 9646 digit. Closed Sunday and Monday. Saturday dies at 1pm official, so book that window early.
The street
Why this place,
on this street.
379 Bay Street
Port Melbourne VIC 3207
379 Bay Street sits toward the Garden City end of the strip, past Adora Haus at 313 and Saltair at 403 is further again. Silky Waves is 236, a different colour religion. This is not Infinitii on Rouse Street. Come for Elizabeth Tedesco's Wella floor. Do not come because a 9646 phone on Bookwell felt close enough to 9645. Use the official number, and know both exist. Ask the driver for 379, not 236. Mode at 92 is Oscar Charlie on the live glass. Keep 379 Bay if you want this Wella house, not 236 Silky Waves.
