Here at Paddington’s best hair salon, Murphy Gozzard Hair Community, we are true hair artisans and pride ourselves on working with only the highest quality tools and products. We have tried and tested them all inside and outside the salon and there is not a spray, pomade, serum, mousse or gel that we haven’t tackled! That is why we are proud to be a Kevin Murphy partner and to work with this incredible brand in the best salon Sydney.

A hair icon, no one understands the transformative power of hair better than Kevin. His work has graced the covers of all the major global print publications, and he has directed hair teams for countless high-profile fashion houses. Having trained at Vidal Sassoon in London, Kevin returned to Australia to establish himself as one of the country’s most sought-after stylists. As a regular contributor to Australian Vogue he carved his niche within the industry as the go-to guy for the iconic ‘Beach Hair’ look- a popular look here in Paddington.
The KEVIN.MURPHY product range was actually born from the same philosophy as skincare. They are all weightlessly designed to deliver performance, strength and longevity. Combining hi-tech scientific knowledge with the best natural ingredients available, they allow everyone from stylists to clients to recreate high-fashion runway looks in the salon or at-home, while always remaining kind to the environment.
Kevin was proudly ahead of the sustainability curve, before it became a buzz work. The brand creates products with a conscience that do no harm to our environment by utilising packaging that is recyclable or biodegradable. They use only sulphate free surfactants that effectively cleanse and remove surface oil and dirt, without stripping or depleting the hair of its colour. They also use AHAs, or fruit acids, derived from Papaya, Citrus, and Sugar Cane that gently exfoliate the hair surface without drying or depleting the hair and natural surfactants from the Soap Bark Tree, Quillaja, and other plant-derived sources create rich luxurious lathers that moisturise and nourish the hair.
Here the best hairdressers Paddington have hand selected some of the most popular cult favourites;
KILLER.CURLS
This is one killer anti-frizz curl definer that will put the spring back into sad, straggly curls. An antioxidant rich, leave-in anti-frizz defining crème, it helps to activate curls while adding essential moisture to throw out the frizz. Curls look and feel natural and soft, as it delivers the ideal balance of strong hold and elasticity to the hair.
DOO.OVER
A ‘hair-do’ in a can, DOO.OVER is a dry powder finishing hairspray that creates lasting volume and hold with a softer look and feel. From photo shoots to everyday styles, DOO.OVER is your secret weapon for hold with the ability to mould, form and shape the hair while retaining freedom of natural movement. Provides a soft velvety feel with a light hold and removes excess oils and product residue.
BODY.BUILDER
BODY.BUILDER is the ultimate weightless, volumising spray mousse that creates beautiful body without any sticky crunches, just flexible fullness and hold. The more you add, the more body you build, so layer it on and create smooth, big shapes until you achieve the va va voom that meets your goals. Antioxidant-rich Tangerine Oil and Vitamin B5 moisturise the hair and impart natural shine. Plus, for every can of BODY.BUILDER sold, a financial contribution will be made to help reduce global carbon emissions.
BEDROOM.HAIR
Let’s face it, who doesn’t want tousled, sexy bedroom hair? And sure, we’d all like to say, ‘I woke up like this’ but the reality is usually a very different story. BEDROOM.HAIR puts touchable texture, separation and movement into the hair, while still allowing you (or someone special) to run your fingers through from roots to tips – the epitome of sexy, bedroom hair with just the right amount of texture. This flexible, texturising finishing spray delivers perfectly imperfect locks every time.
POWDER.PUFF
An instant poof in a jar! Here’s the perfect little tool to create the coveted messy, casual volume that everyone desires. Simply tap gently, apply a few shakes onto the hair and the powder morphs into a setting product with lasting hold. Builds body with ease and suitable for all hair types. The magic is all in the technology – imagine a hardworking volumising lotion, locked inside a sphere of powder – then imagine the sphere making contact with the hair – and the magic happens. The lotion lifts the hair, and the powder simultaneously dries the lotion, giving your hair some serious extra oomph.
