About Parlour O

Friends, Orange locals, and a shared vision.

Parlour O began as a shared vision between Sally Dowling and Julia Homard. Sally was a long-time client of Julia's at J-Salon in Sydney's east. When Sally moved to Orange, she floated the idea that they create something together, and Parlour O was born.

What we set out to build

Warm, welcoming and elevated

A space where new and familiar faces feel instantly at ease while experiencing exceptional hair.

Today, Sally leads the day-to-day running of the salon, bringing her passion for people, experience and culture to everything she does. Julia's creative direction continues to shape our standard, with a focus on hair, education and ongoing team development.

With a growing team of talented stylists, Parlour O is known for its balance of experience, energy and care, using only the highest quality products and tools.
