About Shamalka

I'm Shamalka, the hands, the heart and the eye behind Hair by Sha. After many years behind the chair, I've built my craft around one simple idea: beautiful hair should feel like you, only better.

I specialise in colour, foils and grey blending, with a soft, natural finish that grows out gracefully. From working mums fitting in a quick refresh, to longtime clients who've trusted me with their colour for years. Every appointment is unhurried, considered and a little bit indulgent.

You'll find me in Camberwell, Melbourne, in a calm, welcoming space where great conversation and beautiful hair come standard.

FAQ

A few of the most common questions from new clients. Something else on your mind? Message me on Instagram.

I'm at 1 Prospect Hill Rd, Camberwell VIC 3124, moments from Camberwell Junction. Street parking is available on Prospect Hill Rd and surrounding streets, with the Camberwell Coles car park a short walk away.

We'll start with a relaxed consultation to understand your hair history, lifestyle and what you love. I'll talk you through options, pricing and a maintenance plan before we begin. No surprises, no pressure.

The listed prices are a starting guide. Final pricing depends on hair length, thickness, product used and finish. You'll always be given a clear quote at your consultation before any colour is applied.

It depends on the service: root colour every 4 to 6 weeks, foils every 6 to 8 weeks, and balayage every 10 to 14 weeks. My maintenance clients rebook their next visit before they leave so the diary stays consistent.

A blow wave is around 45 minutes, root colour 1.5 to 2 hours, foils 2.5 to 3.5 hours, and balayage 3 to 4 hours. Consultations are unhurried, and I never double-book, so every appointment is yours.

Yes. Complimentary in-studio consultations are available for colour corrections, going lighter, or planning a longer-term colour journey. Message me on Instagram or call to arrange one.

Alongside Camberwell locals, I regularly see clients travelling from Hawthorn, Glen Iris, Canterbury, Surrey Hills, Balwyn, Malvern and Kew.

The fastest way is online via Kairo, our booking system. You can also call or text 0452 611 799, or DM @hairbysha_c on Instagram if you'd like to chat first.
