Common questions about hair salons in Wollongong.

Who are the best hair salons in Wollongong?

As of October 2026, the 3 highest-ranked hair salons in Wollongong, NSW on the Starworks directory are The Fade District (5.0 stars from 477 Google reviews), Haylo Hair & Beauty (4.9 stars from 307 Google reviews) and Deco Hair & Beauty (4.9 stars from 268 Google reviews). Every figure here is computed from Google review data that Starworks collects for hair salons in Wollongong, NSW, recalculated when this page rebuilds. Placement on this list cannot be bought.

How many hair salons does Starworks rank in Wollongong?

Starworks ranks 148 hair salons in Wollongong, NSW, holding 10,449 Google reviews between them. Across the 148 the median rating is 4.9 stars from a median of 36 reviews. Of the 148, 124 are rated 4.5 or better and 29 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 536 reviews, more than the top-ranked hair salon holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.

What star rating should I expect from a good hair salon in Wollongong?

The median Google rating across the 148 hair salons Starworks ranks in Wollongong, NSW is 4.9 stars, and 124 of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for hair salons in Wollongong, NSW rather than a warning sign on its own, and a rating well above it only means much when enough reviews stand behind it.

How many Google reviews does an established hair salon in Wollongong have?

The median hair salon Starworks ranks in Wollongong, NSW carries 36 Google reviews, and 29 of the 148 hair salons have passed 100. The most-reviewed of them carries 536.

How does Starworks rank hair salons in Wollongong?

Starworks gives every hair salon in Wollongong, NSW a reputation score out of 100 from three things: its Google star rating (up to 47 points), how many reviews back that rating (up to 35), and whether customers can reach it by website and phone number (up to 18). Review volume is the one part that can subtract: below 15 reviews it costs points, because a near-empty review record gives a stranger very little to go on. No score falls below 0 and placement cannot be bought. The score measures the strength of a business's public review record rather than the quality of its work, so it is worth reading the reviews as well, and every listing links to them on Google.

Why does a hair salon in Wollongong with all 5-star reviews score lower than one with a lower rating?

Because review volume counts as well as rating, and below 15 reviews it counts against you. Five perfect reviews are encouraging but thin evidence; three hundred reviews averaging 4.7 tell a stranger far more about what to expect on the day. That is a judgement about how much proof exists, not about the quality of the work, and a newer hair salon with a handful of excellent reviews may still be the right choice in Wollongong, NSW. The star rating and review count sit next to every score so you can weigh both yourself.

Why does the same hair salon not appear several times on this list?

Some businesses run more than one Google listing, often one per suburb they service. Those are the same company, so Starworks groups them and shows the business once, using the listing with the strongest review record. That is why this page opens with 50 distinct hair salons in Wollongong, NSW rather than a longer list of repeats.

How often is this list of hair salons in Wollongong updated?

This ranking of hair salons in Wollongong, NSW rebuilds on a 30-day cycle and prints the date of its last rebuild above the list, which for the current version is October 2026. Ratings and review counts are re-read from Google over time rather than on a fixed schedule, so an individual figure here can be older than the rebuild date.

How can I improve my hair salon business ranking in Wollongong?

Collect genuine customer reviews consistently, and keep a working website and phone number on your Google listing, because those are the three inputs the score reads. There is no placement to buy on this page. For scale: the median hair salon Starworks ranks in Wollongong, NSW carries 36 Google reviews at 4.9 stars.
