Expert advice from Perth's leading mobile hairdressers — helping you make the best decisions for your hair.
Thinking about getting dreadlocks in Perth? You're not alone — dread installations have surged in popularity across WA, and more and more Perth locals are choosing to have them done at home by a mobile hairdresser rather than sitting in a salon for 8+ hours.
At Luxe Hair Co., we specialise in mobile dreadlock installation in Perth — coming to your home across all suburbs from Joondalup to Mandurah, Fremantle to Armadale. Here's everything you need to know before you book.
💡 Quick answer: Mobile dreadlock installation in Perth starts from $800, depending on hair length, thickness and the method used. The process takes 4–10 hours depending on your hair.
The final price depends on your hair length, thickness and volume. Very long or very thick hair will take longer and require more work — always mention your hair length and type when you enquire so we can give you an accurate quote.
This is the most common question we get — and the honest answer is: it varies. Here's a general guide:
Because it's a long process, having your dreadlocks done at home in Perth is a huge advantage — you can watch TV, eat meals and be comfortable in your own space the whole time. No salon could offer that.
Hair should be clean but not freshly washed. Use a residue-free shampoo — avoid conditioner, oils and serums which make hair slippery.
Ensure your hair is completely dry. Detangling is not required (your stylist will handle this) but removes any large knots beforehand to save time.
You'll be sitting for a long time — choose your most comfortable chair near a power outlet. Have entertainment ready (Netflix, podcasts, books).
It's a long appointment — stay hydrated and fuelled. Your stylist will also need access to a bathroom.
We accept cash and bank transfer. Confirm payment method when you book.
Your dreadlocks won't be fully locked on day one — they take 3–6 months to fully mature depending on your hair type. Here's what to expect:
🔄 Ongoing maintenance: We offer mobile dreadlock maintenance appointments across all Perth suburbs. Book a retwist every 4–6 weeks to keep your dreads looking neat and fresh. Starting from $150.

Yes — we work with all hair types including straight, wavy, curly, coily and afro-textured hair. The method used will vary depending on your hair type. We'll advise the best approach when you book.
When installed and maintained correctly, dreadlocks are not damaging. They are a natural loc of your own hair. The key is proper installation by a qualified stylist and regular maintenance.
Yes — though you'll need to wait 2–4 weeks after installation before washing. We'll give you full aftercare instructions at your appointment.
If you have an elderly parent, relative or loved one in Perth who struggles to get to a salon, a mobile hairdresser can be a genuinely life-changing service. Looking and feeling well-groomed has a proven positive impact on mental health, dignity and self-esteem — especially for seniors who may be housebound, in aged care, or living with limited mobility.
At Luxe Hair Co., we offer compassionate, gentle and professional mobile hairdressing for elderly clients across all Perth suburbs — including home visits, aged care facility visits and retirement village appointments.
💬 "My mum is elderly and can't get to a salon anymore. Finding this mobile hairdresser in Perth was such a relief. So patient, kind and did a beautiful job. Mum was glowing. We've booked every 6 weeks since!" — Linda T., Nedlands
Let us know your loved one's suburb, any special requirements (mobility issues, dementia, hearing difficulties) and the frequency of visits needed.
We'll match your family member with a stylist experienced in aged care who will build a comfortable, consistent relationship with them.
The first visit is a chance for your loved one and our stylist to get acquainted. We work slowly, gently and always at the client's pace.
We can schedule regular appointments — every 4, 6 or 8 weeks — so there's no need to remember to rebook each time.
Yes — we regularly visit residents at aged care facilities, nursing homes and retirement villages across Perth. We work with facility staff to schedule appointments at convenient times and always bring everything needed for a full in-room hairdressing service.
Perth aged care facilities we service include locations in suburbs such as Nedlands, Subiaco, South Perth, Fremantle, Joondalup, Karrinyup, Canning Vale and throughout the metro area. Contact us to arrange regular visits for your facility's residents.
Our stylists are experienced in working with clients living with dementia and other cognitive conditions. We take a calm, reassuring and unhurried approach — always following the client's lead and working within their comfort zone. If a client becomes distressed at any point, we pause and give them time.
We'd recommend calling us to discuss your loved one's specific needs before the first appointment so we can prepare our stylist accordingly.

📞 Call Now 💬 WhatsApp NowGetting your hair coloured used to mean hours at a salon — the drive, the waiting, the chemicals, the noise. In 2026, Perth women (and men!) are increasingly choosing to have their hair colour done at home by a mobile hairdresser — and getting better results in the process.
At Luxe Hair Co., our mobile hair colour service in Perth covers everything from a simple regrowth touch-up to a full-head balayage transformation — all done in the comfort of your own home.
This is one of the most common questions Perth clients ask us. Here's a simple breakdown:
☀️ Perth tip: Balayage suits Perth's lifestyle beautifully — it looks amazing sun-bleached on the beach and grows out without that harsh regrowth look. Most of our Perth clients going for a natural, low-maintenance colour choose balayage.
Not necessarily. Our mobile hair colour prices in Perth are comparable to mid-range salons — and once you factor in petrol, parking and waiting time, mobile is often better value. Plus, you get 100% one-on-one attention from your stylist the entire time.
Professional foils, balayage, all-over colour and more — done at your home across all Perth suburbs. 7 days a week.
Book a Colour Appointment 💬 WhatsApp for a QuoteAll-over colour takes approximately 90 minutes including blowdry. Full head foils or balayage takes 2–3 hours. Regrowth touch-ups take 90–120 minutes. We'll give you a specific time estimate when you book.
