The drive
South on Lawrence Hargrave Drive, which turns into the Princes Highway once you are through Bulli. About four kilometres all up, and well under ten minutes unless the Bulli lights are against you.
Hair & beauty for Thirroul
The hair salon down the coast road from Thirroul.
Hairdressing, makeup and beauty at Woonona, four kilometres south through Bulli.
Colour, cuts, balayage, makeup, lashes, brows and spray tans in one building. Far enough down the road to be a proper day out, close enough that it is barely a drive.
Why come down the coast
One booking instead of three.
Hair in one place, brows in another, a tan somewhere else again. Rosewood is a hair salon that does all three under one roof, so the drive down from Thirroul replaces a week of appointments rather than adding to them.

Getting here from Thirroul
Two suburbs down, that is all.
Thirroul to Bulli to us. We are on the highway itself once it stops being Lawrence Hargrave Drive, so the whole trip is one road.
Where to park
There is street parking on the highway out the front, and two untimed public car parks a moment away on Haddon Lane and Ball Street. Worth knowing if you are coming down for colour, which is never a quick one.
Without a car
The train is five minutes, Thirroul to Woonona by way of Bulli, but Woonona station is a fifteen minute walk from the salon at our end, so it is longer than it looks. The highway buses drop you about two minutes from the door instead.
Look for the sign, not the shopfront.
We are a narrow frontage on the highway, right beside another hair and beauty salon, so it is an easy one to walk past. Look for the Rosewood A-frame on the footpath and the gold light fitting inside the window.

What the Illawarra says
People who came for one thing and stayed for three.
I’ve been getting my hair done by Jess for the past 3 years and I couldn’t be happier! My recent visit for blonde foils was no exception — the result was even better than I imagined. Jess makes me feel comfortable and cared for every time, and I walk out feeling confident and beautiful.
SO happy to have found Ella and the lovely team at Rosewood. When I first enquired at the salon for an appointment, my needs were listened to carefully so that enough time was allowed for an appointment. On the day, Ella also listened closely and made suggestions for my colour and foils. Thankyou Ella, your skills have made me feel so much more at home in my looks and ready for going out with more confidence than I’ve had in ages. You’re a star.
Gemma was amazing! My new favourite hairdresser!!! She took the time to understand my hair and the issues I have, and offered great suggestions.
My usual hairdresser cancelled the morning of my appointment before I headed overseas, and these ladies fit me in later that same day. Special thanks to Bree who did a beautiful job and stayed back to finish. So grateful — you now have a returning client.
I had a half head of foils done with the new senior hairdresser Brianna and I was so impressed. She was super time efficient, my hair looked beautiful, and she gave the most amazing head massage. Highly recommend Rosewood and Brianna.
Amazing service and very reasonably priced! I went in for a balayage without any inspo pics, but Kelli showed me a couple of styles and did an amazing job. So happy with my new hair!
I had nanoplasty done with the girls and I’ve never received more compliments on my hair ever! I’ve also been taking the GLOWWA hair food and my skin and hair have been so happy since.
Renee never disappoints! Such a wonderful colourist, takes time to work with you to achieve great results. Also a delight to spend a few hours with!
Good to know
Questions before you drive down.
Where are you and is there parking?
We are at 2/397 Princes Hwy, Woonona, right on the Princes Highway, with plenty of street parking and public car parks on Haddon Lane and Ball Street. If you are in for a longer appointment we would suggest the car parks, because they are untimed and for public use, and the inspectors are often about.
Can I book hair, makeup and a tan in the same visit?
Hair and makeup together, yes, and that is the whole idea behind Rosewood. A tan is the one thing we book separately, because it needs 24 hours to develop, so it goes in the day before, or up to 48 hours before. Tell us the date you are getting ready for and we will line the whole lot up so you are in one place, not three salons.
How long should I allow for my appointment?
As a rough guide, a cut and blow dry is about an hour, an all-over colour two to three hours, and foils or balayage three to four. If you are booking hair, face and body together we build the run sheet around you, so tell us what you need and we will give you a realistic finish time before you arrive.
Are you open late or on weekends?
We are open until 7:30pm on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, with later appointments available by arrangement, and Saturday mornings from 8:30am to 1pm. Handy if you cannot get away during the work day. We are closed Sundays.
Do you do hair extensions?
We do. Tape extensions, wefts and K-Tips, colour matched and fitted to blend with your own hair. Every set starts with a complimentary consultation so we can look at your hair, match the colour and quote you properly, because the price depends on the length and thickness you are after. Book a consultation online or call us on 0423 307 350.
Ready when you are
Come down from Thirroul and get it all done.
Four kilometres, and hair, face and body in the one visit. Book online whenever suits, or call us if you would rather talk it through first.
