Nestled on the Mornington Peninsula, Guava is more than asalon — it’s a sanctuary for hair, skin, and soul.
What began as a small family salon in 1996 has evolved into a destination for those seeking something deeper: a moment to pause, reset, and reconnect
From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll feel the world slow down.
Here, every detail has been considered — from the scent in the air to the way light filters through the space. It’s an experience designed to restore balance and beauty from the inside out
A Legacy of Care
Founded by Julie Walters, Guava was one of the first low-tox salons on the Peninsula, built on a belief that beauty and wellness should coexist.
Today, alongside Eliza, Guava continues that legacy — blending modern technique with mindful care. Together, they’ve cultivated a team of specialists who see each guest as an individual, not an appointment.
Every treatment begins with conversation, understanding, and intention. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’ll always feel known, heard, and deeply cared for.
Curly Hair Specialists
We’ve become known as the Peninsula’s destination for curly and textured hair, with a team trained in the art of enhancing natural texture — not fighting it.
We understand that every curl tells its own story, and our specialists work with your hair’s natural pattern to shape, define, and bring out its best.
From hydration to styling, education to aftercare, we take the time to ensure your hair not only looks beautiful when you leave, but feels effortless every day after.
