Emaya Salon was established in 2007 by Monica Hanicar, a hairdresser with 19 years experience in the industry and a passion for education and keeping up with the latest trends. Monica started her business as a boutique home based salon (originally trading as Monified Hair Design) where her vision was to create a salon that offered a personalised, one on one experience for the clients.

In 2015, we moved to our Ferntree Gully location offering more space to accommodate our growing clientele and in 2024 we upgraded our space to our current location in Beaconsfield.

The level of service remains the same, in that every person who comes through our door gets a tailor made experience where your stylist will be with you from beginning to end of your appointment. We offer a tranquil relaxed vibe in our salon where you don’t feel like you’re being rushed in and out.

Our senior staff  are all advanced colourists and stylists. Monica attended a ‘salon creative’ 3 day course in Rome in 2019 which focused on high fashion haircuts and colours. She is also a freelance educator for our colour brand Alfa parf and our hair extension brand Showpony. Two of our staff are Alfa Parf ‘Colour Master’ Graduates, completing intense colour training in 2016 and 2018 with an internationally renowned educator and have brought a wealth of knowledge back to the salon. There’s no colour correction we can’t handle!
We always strive to keep up with latest trends and have developed our own signature balayage and foiling techniques to ensure every client leaves with a personalised ‘couture’ hair colour. With a high focus on education and being at the top of our game,

We have a very strict and structured approach to training our Junior stylists to ensure they produce the same quality of work as what’s come to be expected at Emaya Salon. We only take on the most friendly and passionate individuals to fit in with our salon culture.

We have also been selected to style hair for many prestigious events in Melbourne including:
