Two-time Australian Hairdresser of the Year, Brad Ngata has spent more than two decades building one of Sydney's most respected independent salons. Tucked into the creative, Soho-like stretch of Darlinghurst Road, Brad Ngata Hair Direction operates as a one-on-one, single-operator studio, no production line, no battery-hen formula.
Brad's editorial credentials span shoots for Sunday Times Magazine and Culture Magazine, plus advertising campaigns for Nokia, with named collections including Rebel, Tangeres, Breakage and Paper Cut showcasing his fashion-forward range. Inside, full-length mirrors, cascading greenery and gold-rimmed porcelain lend a sense of playful luxury that clients consistently describe as both stimulating and surprisingly peaceful. Recognised at Hair Expo and the Maybelline Australian Fashion Awards, Brad also holds back-to-back titles for Sydney's Best Hairdresser.
