Why Dale James & Co Is One of Perth’s Most Experienced Hair Salons
Choosing a hair salon isn’t just about finding someone to cut or colour your hair. It’s about trusting experienced professionals who genuinely care about helping you look and feel your best.
At Dale James & Co, hairdressing isn’t simply our profession—it’s our passion, and it has been for more than 50 years.
As a family-owned and operated salon in South Perth, we have built our reputation on exceptional hairdressing, ongoing education, premium products, and personalised service. Every member of our team is committed to delivering beautiful results while ensuring every client enjoys a relaxing and welcoming salon experience.
Over 50 Years of Hairdressing Excellence
Our founder, Dale James, has dedicated more than five decades to the hairdressing industry.
Throughout his career, Dale has become recognised for precision cutting, creative styling, modern perming techniques, and advanced hairdressing education. His passion for the industry has taken him around Australia and overseas, where he has educated other professional hairdressers and shared his knowledge with some of the industry’s leading professionals.
Experience matters, and it shows in every consultation, every haircut, every colour, and every recommendation we make.
Education Never Stops
One of Dale’s strongest beliefs has always been:
“The day you stop learning is the day you stop loving hairdressing.”
That philosophy has become the foundation of our salon.
Our team regularly attends advanced education with some of Australia’s and the world’s leading educators. We believe every course, every workshop, and every seminar helps us deliver even better results for our clients.
Our apprentices receive structured education well beyond their formal training. Through regular in-salon education and after-hours mentoring, they learn the technical skills, attention to detail, and customer care that help develop the next generation of outstanding hairdressers.
We’re incredibly proud to watch our young stylists grow into confident professionals.
We Use the World’s Leading Professional Hair Colour
Beautiful colour starts with beautiful products.
That’s why we proudly use Wella Professional colour throughout our salon.
Wella has been trusted by professional hairdressers around the world for generations and continues to lead the industry through innovation, colour technology, shine, and hair protection.
By combining premium Wella colour with experienced colourists, we can create everything from natural brunettes and lived-in blondes to grey coverage, fashion colours, colour corrections, balayage, foils, and glossing services—all while maintaining the health and integrity of your hair.

A Team That Truly Cares
Every member of our salon brings their own strengths and personality, but we all share one goal—to make every client feel comfortable, valued, and confident.
From your first consultation through to your final style, we take the time to listen, educate, and recommend what’s best for your individual hair.
Many of our clients have trusted us for years, and some families have been visiting us for generations. Those long-term relationships are something we’re incredibly proud of.
Premium Products for Healthier Hair
Healthy hair creates beautiful hair.
Alongside Wella Professionals, we carefully select salon-quality products that nourish, strengthen, smooth, and protect your hair between visits.
Our team will always recommend products based on your individual hair needs rather than simply selling products for the sake of it.
Our goal is to help your hair stay looking salon-fresh every day.
