Smoother Strands, Saner Mornings: The Hair Transformation A Parenthood360 Mum Can’t Wait to Try

If you’ve ever wrestled a hair straightener one-handed while packing school lunches with the other — we see you. And more importantly, The Straightening Salon sees you too.

With locations across Kirra Beach, Brisbane, and our very own Northern Beaches (Narrabeen, to be exact), this game-changing salon is quickly becoming every busy mum’s not-so-secret weapon. It’s the only Australian salon that exclusively focuses on hair straightening and smoothing — and the results? Think non-toxic, frizz-free, low-maintenance glory.

Founded by fellow frizz-fighter and mum-on-a-mission Renee Vallender, The Straightening Salon was created to help women ditch the daily hair drama in favour of glossy, manageable locks that don’t require heat-styling every morning. Using only the safest, salon-grade, chemical-free formulas, their treatments work with your hair (not against it) to restore shine, tame curls, and smooth out the fuzz — without compromising long-term hair health.

A Mum in the Chair: We’re Booking In!

One of our Parenthood360 Parent Pack mummas is heading in for a treatment at the end of July — and she is beyond excited. As a mum of two and full-time whirlwind, she’s tried it all: budget conditioners, heat protectants, ponytails on loop… but she’s never experienced this.

We’ll be reporting back with the full verdict (plus before-and-afters!), but she’s hoping this is the moment her hair routine finally stops stealing precious time from school runs and morning chaos.

What Makes It Different?

Unlike quick-fix keratin formulas that are loaded with nasties, The Straightening Salon’s treatments are non-toxic, sulphate-free, and packed with nourishing ingredients like amino acids, omega oils, and smoothing proteins. Whether you want to keep your waves but lose the frizz, or go poker-straight and stay that way — there’s a personalised treatment for every hair type.

Options range from:

• Semi-Permanent Smoothing – for frizz control without losing natural movement
• Permanent Straightening – for a sleek, low-maintenance finish that lasts
• Shine & Repair Boosts – to treat heat-damaged or dull hair with a serious dose of gloss

Prices start from $275 and go up to $1,000 depending on your hair length, density, and goals — with consultations offered beforehand to figure out exactly what will work best for you. 

Planet-Friendly Beauty Wins

As if we needed another reason to fall in love, The Straightening Salon is also part of the Sustainable Salons network. That means your leftover hair clippings don’t just hit the bin — they’re used for everything from cleaning up oil spills to making wig donations for those in need. Straightening with heart? We’re into it.

Ready for Your Own Good Hair Day (Every Day)?

If you’ve ever dreamed of hitting snooze and still leaving the house with good hair — this one’s for you. Stay tuned for our full Parenthood360 review coming in August as we follow our mumma through the treatment and the aftercare journey. Spoiler: she’s hoping this will be a major glow-up moment.
