SISTER MARGARET'SUnisex Salon in Yarraville, Victoria

Sister Margaret's brings a refreshingly inclusive approach to barbering in Yarraville, where owner and master barber Danie California has created something special since opening in 2018. This cosy green sanctuary breaks traditional barriers with gender-neutral pricing and a genuine "everyone welcome" philosophy that extends far beyond lip service. The space itself reflects Danie's personal touch—she renovated every corner herself, filling it with lush plants, vintage 1957 Takara Belmont barber chairs, and quirky collectibles that invite conversation.

It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself lingering, chatting comfortably while surrounded by greenery and character. What sets Sister Margaret's apart is their commitment to ethical practices. They exclusively use cruelty-free, vegan-friendly products with sustainable packaging, carefully curating brands that align with their environmental values.

From Longhouse beard balms to Lunar lip balms, every product reflects their "good for you and the planet" ethos. The team's expertise shines through in both technical skill and genuine care—customers consistently praise not just their excellent cuts but the quality conversation and practical styling advice that comes with each visit. Regular clients return month after month, drawn by the combination of skilled barbering and the welcoming atmosphere that makes this LGBTIQA+ friendly space feel like an extension of home.
