Elizabeth Osborne at Coastal Fringe

Elizabeth Osborne has been perfecting her hairdressing craft in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs for over three decades, building Coastal Fringe into a welcoming haven on Malabar Road. This established salon brings together a creative team of colourists and stylists who share Elizabeth's passion for creating perfectly manageable styles for both women and men. The salon's approach centres on personalised consultation, with pricing discussions before any service begins to ensure transparency.

Women's cuts start from $50, men's from $45, and children's from $25. Their colour services span everything from tint regrowth ($88) to full head foils ($185), with specialised treatments like balayage and colour correction available on consultation. What sets Coastal Fringe apart is their commitment to both quality and sustainability.

They partner with Matrix professional products for stunning, ammonia-free colour options, while offering RAW's authentic, wholesome take-home care products for environmentally conscious clients. The team—including stylists Natsuko, Rachel, and Katie—actively encourages clients to try different stylists within the salon, creating a relaxed atmosphere where comfort comes first. Open Tuesday through Saturday with extended hours on select days, the salon operates on a 24-hour cancellation policy and confirms appointments via SMS.

Their philosophy of making clients feel beautiful and comfortable in their own skin has clearly resonated throughout Maroubra's community for decades.
