Ready for your next hair transformation at Assort Melbourne? Located in the vibrant, creative heart of Collingwood, our salon is your go-to destination for the latest 2026 hair trends.

To ensure your salon day is completely relaxing and stress-free from start to finish, we’ve put together this quick, updated guide on how to get to our space at 73/77 Wellington St. Consider this your friendly reminder on the best ways to travel, where to park, and how much time to buffer!

The Best Way to Get Here: Public Transport

Collingwood is incredibly well-connected, and taking public transport is by far the easiest, most seamless way to reach us. No traffic jams, no ticking meters—just pure pre-appointment relaxation.

By Tram (Our Top Pick!): Hop onto the Route 86 Tram (which runs right down Smith Street) and get off at Hodgson St/Smith St (Stop 18) or Johnston St/Smith St (Stop 19). From there, it’s a super short, flat 5-minute stroll (around 200–300 meters) to our front door. Alternatively, Route 109 or Route 12 will drop you off at Wellington St/Victoria Parade (Stop 16), which is also just a brief walk away.

By Train: If you are taking the train, the Hurstbridge and Mernda lines are your best bets. Get off at either Collingwood Station or North Richmond Station. Both spots are roughly a 15-minute walk straight to the salon.
By Bus: The Route 200 and Route 207 buses run frequently along Johnston Street, dropping you off just blocks away from Wellington Street.

Driving & Parking Tips

If you do choose to drive, we highly recommend planning your route ahead of time. Collingwood is a bustling hotspot, meaning street parking can be highly competitive and strictly monitored.

Street Parking: There is metered and timed street parking along Wellington Street and Langridge Street. However, please note that most surrounding spots have a strict 1-hour or 2-hour limit. Since a stunning color transformation or custom haircut takes time, short-term street parking can create unnecessary rush!
Paid Car Parks: For total peace of mind, we suggest parking in a secure, off-street facility. The LCI Collingwood Car Park located at 150 Oxford Street is a convenient commercial option just a short walk from the salon, offering daily flat rates so you don’t have to watch the clock. We

How Much Time to Allow?

To truly lean into the luxury Assort experience, timing is everything. We want you to feel pampered, never rushed!

Arrival Time: Please aim to arrive 5 to 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment. This gives you a moment to settle in, hang up your coat, and enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee before we start.
The Parking Buffer: If you are driving, please add an extra 15 to 20 minutes to your travel schedule specifically to navigate local traffic and secure a parking spot.
Service Durations: Keep your service length in mind. A precision haircut usually takes 1 to 1.5 hours, but if you’re booked for a color, balayage, or an indulgent Hair treatment, you will be with us for 2 to 3+ hours. Choosing public transport or long-term parking means you can completely switch off while we work our magic.

Preparing for Your Appointment

Our top stylists love it when you arrive feeling inspired. Before your visit, feel free to save screenshots of your favorite 2026 hair aesthetics on your phone. Whether it’s a lived-in dimensional blonde, a rich brunette gloss, or a chic textured bob, having a visual reference helps us tailor the trend perfectly to your lifestyle, facial structure, and hair type.
