Where Hair Meets Health
The Eco-Lux Experience At About Hair Mackay
At About Hair Mackay, haircare goes beyond aesthetics. It is a commitment to wellbeing, environmental responsibility, and professional excellence. This boutique salon offers a low-tox haven for clients seeking not just beautiful hair, but healthier choices for themselves and the planet.
Founded by executive stylist Liz Hamilton, About Hair Mackay brings decades of experience and a qualification in Trichology to the heart of Mackay. Liz’s passion for holistic hair health is matched by her dedication to ongoing education and innovation in the industry. She leads a team of skilled professionals who share common motives: authenticity, empathy, and high-quality care that puts the client’s health first.
“At About Hair Mackay, we believe beauty, wellness, and sustainability go hand in hand,” says Liz.
“Everything we do is grounded in respect – for you, for the earth, and for future generations”
From precision cuts and specialised curl care to scalp health and hair loss support, every service is tailored to the individual. The salon is known for its advanced colour techniques using Certified Organic products from NATULIQUE and BARBERIAN – brands trusted for their low-tox, high-performance formulas. These colour systems deliver long-lasting results without ammonia, parabens, or sulphates.
The recent expansion of the salon into a newly renovated space reflects its commitment to eco-luxury – an emerging standard where environmental responsibility meets indulgent comfort. The interiors are thoughtfully designed, with natural light, spacious zones, and minimal waste practices. Massage recliners at the wash basins and a calm, considered layout create an experience that feels more like a wellness retreat than a typical salon visit.
What draws clients to About Hair Mackay is their ability to make it personal. This is not a fast-paced, high-turnover salon. Each consultation is thorough, each recommendation grounded in expertise. Whether managing curls, addressing hair thinning, or detoxing from chemical overload, clients are supported with knowledge and care.
The team includes senior stylist Chloe, apprentices Amy and Luca, and beauty specialist Naomi, whose background in holistic skin and body care adds another layer to the salon’s whole-person approach. Together, they offer a cohesive, wellness-led experience that considers hair, skin, and lifestyle as part of the same story.
Specialised services include detoxing treatments that remove product and environmental build-up, scalp therapies to restore balance, and restorative hair health treatments that rebuild hair strength from the cortex out. The salon also excels in curl care – offering hydration techniques and styling education so clients can manage their curls confidently at home.
Education is not only encouraged but prioritised. The team regularly upskills to stay current with global innovations in sustainable haircare. Liz and apprentice Amy have recently been named finalists in NATULIQUE’s Hair Colour Innovative Awards, to be held in London, a further testament to the salon’s industry leadership.
Since opening the expanded salon seven months ago, About Hair Mackay has solidified its reputation as Mackay’s destination for clients who want more than just a new look.
Here, hair health, sustainability, and care are never just trends…they are the foundation.
