Donna Sheridan · Fitzroy
The salon
Donna Sheridan's studio sits at the rear of 71 Kerr Street, Fitzroy — one washbasin, three chairs, deliberately quiet. The signature is what Broadsheet has called effortless '70s-era cuts: soft layers, considered weight removal, the right bang.
The room scales by chair, not by floor. Donna takes a tight roster of clients with continuity-led colour appointments and a smaller bench that holds the cut standard across each chair.
It suits clients who want a deliberately small Fitzroy chair, not a chain bench, and who book months ahead.
What sets it apart
Three chairs. One basin. A tucked-away nook from the bustle of Brunswick Street. Donna Sheridan runs the studio as a writer would run a column — small, slow, deliberate.
