The full George & Ivy FAQ.

Every colour, treatment and styling product on our shelf is screened against a do‑no‑harm brief. If a product doesn't meet our threshold for ingredient safety, environmental impact and supply chain ethics, it doesn't get used at George & Ivy. We've held this position since the day we opened in 2018.

George & Ivy East Fremantle is at 2B Council Place, East Fremantle WA 6158 (late nights Thursdays until 8pm). George & Ivy Central Fremantle is at 16A Bannister Street in the West End, closed Mondays. Both salons offer the full service menu.

Booking is online via our Timely system at bookings.gettimely.com/georgeivy/book, or by phone on 0411 338 920 for East Fremantle and 0460 931 374 for Central Fremantle. Walk-ins are welcomed when we have space but a chair is never guaranteed.

Every booking carries a $3 sustainability levy. It funds our carbon‑neutral certification, the in‑salon recycling program, and the offset of every appointment's footprint. It is the smallest line on your invoice and the one we are most proud of.

Yes. Arrive on foot or under your own steam — bike, scooter, skate, anything human‑powered — and take 5% off your service. No proof needed, just mention it at the desk. Fremantle is walkable, and we'd rather you didn't drive.

Yes, and our Australian Hair Industry Awards back that up. Best Eco Salon of the Year in 2019, 2024 and 2025, and Best WA / NT Salon of the Year in 2023. Low‑tox does not mean low‑result. It means the work holds up against the brief, the photograph, and your conscience.

Always. For colour, balayage, extensions or any first visit, we strongly recommend a free in‑salon consultation. Fifteen minutes, no charge, no obligation. It saves regret and lets us scope the work properly.

Balayage is a signature service at George & Ivy. Half balayage starts at $210, full balayage at $240. Every balayage begins with a free 15‑minute consultation so we can match the placement to your face shape, hair texture and lifestyle.

We encourage it. Three or four reference photos help us calibrate tone, contrast and dimension. We'll also photograph your hair as it is today, so we have a clear starting point for the work and you have a record of the journey.

Re‑growth alone is about ninety minutes. A full balayage with toning and a treatment runs three to four hours. Your consultation is where we lock in the exact timing and book the chair accordingly.

Our cut prices step down by stylist seniority: Director $162–$192, Style Director $147–$167, Senior Stylist $137, Stylist $127. Every stylist in our team has trained inside George & Ivy and works to the same brief. Pick the tier that suits your budget.

Yes, by consultation. We do on‑site styling and in‑salon trials. Book a trial four to six weeks before the wedding day so we can refine the look together and lock in the timing for the morning.

Girls aged 12 to 15 are welcome on weekdays for $75–$120 depending on length and stylist tier. We don't take kids' bookings under 12 at the moment, sorry.

Walk‑ins are welcomed when we have space, but a chair is never guaranteed. For Saturdays and Thursday late nights especially, we'd strongly recommend booking ahead.

Boys aged 12 to 15 are welcome on weekdays for $50–$70. We don't offer kids' cuts under 12 at the moment.

Yes — that's exactly what our Mens Camouflage Colour ($60–$70) is for. A subtle, natural blend that softens the grey without committing you to ongoing colour maintenance.

The O Way Infrared Rebuilding Treatment ($80) is our heaviest‑weight rebuild — the one we book for hair that has been through it. For ongoing maintenance the H‑Milk ($40) is a great mid‑service add‑on. For coloured hair, an Olaplex in‑colour treatment ($90) protects bonds during the lightening process.

Yes. An Olaplex basin treatment ($40) or an O Way infrared session is the most common pairing and adds fifteen to forty‑five minutes to your appointment. Mention it at booking and we'll book the chair accordingly.

If your hair is in genuine rebuild mode, yes — the 4‑pack works out at $87.50 per treatment versus $100 single‑visit on the Infrared Remedy. Four sessions across two to three months is the rhythm we recommend for a complete reset.

Fabriq is our newest permanent straightening treatment, priced $270–$470 depending on hair length and density. It smooths texture and takes the frizz out for months at a time. Like every permanent service at George & Ivy it needs a consultation first, where we strand‑test your hair and quote you in full. If you want smoothing without the permanent commitment, ask about the Fabriq smoothing treatment ($80–$100) on our treatments menu instead.

That's exactly why we require a consultation first. We strand‑test, assess porosity and condition, and only proceed if your hair is a good candidate. If it isn't, we'll recommend an Infrared Remedy package instead and explain why.

Typically four to six months depending on hair growth, hair type and how you maintain the hair at home. We provide a full aftercare brief at the appointment and recommend a check‑in at the three‑month mark.

Because we will not run a permanent service on hair that won't take it well. The consult protects your hair, your money and our reputation. It is free, it is short, and it is the only way we run this service.

Great Lengths pre‑bonded extensions are the gold standard for invisible application and longevity. They use 100% ethically sourced human hair and a keratin bonding system that doesn't damage the natural strand. We've tried the alternatives — for our standard, only Great Lengths makes the cut.

Four to six months with the right aftercare. We'll book a halfway check‑in to make sure the bonds are still sitting cleanly and the colour match still reads correctly as your roots grow through.

Not when they're fit properly and looked after properly. Great Lengths bonds are designed to flex with your hair, not pull on it. We'll only fit extensions on hair that is in good enough condition to take them — that's what the consult is for.
