Do you really need to cut your long hair once you reach “that” age?

Absolutely not. The old belief that mature women should avoid long hair is long gone. Celebrities like Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman are redefining what ageing beautifully looks like — and long, luxurious hair is very much part of that narrative.

At Sloans, the best Sydney salon for cutting-edge hair colour, styles and personalised haircare, we’re seeing more women embrace long hair as a powerful statement of confidence. With the right cut, colour and care, you can enjoy healthy, radiant length at any stage of life.

The Trend: Age-Defying Long Hair

“Today’s hair trends celebrate versatility over age restrictions,” says Scott Sloan, Owner of Sloans, AHIA Australian Salon of the Year 2025, and L’Oréal Professionnel Global Artist. “Women now understand what suits their face shape and skin tone, so they can confidently choose long hair styles that make them feel incredible, at any age.”

Whether you’re dealing with peri-menopause hair changes, managing dryness or thinning, or simply wanting to maintain your signature long hair, our stylists at the best Sydney salon create shapes with movement and texture that keep long hair fuller, thicker and effortless to style.

Supporting Hair Growth Through Hormonal Changes

Hormonal shifts during peri-menopause and menopause can impact hair density, texture and growth, but achieving and maintaining long hair is absolutely possible with the right strategy.

At Sloans, we support healthy growth and long hair longevity with:

• Strategic highlights to brighten and blend grey regrowth seamlessly
• Specialised cutting techniques that add lift and visual fullness to long hair
• Professional treatments from L’Oréal Professionnel and Kérastase that strengthen, hydrate and protect peri-menopause hair

Our expert team can create a personalised plan focusing on scalp health, fibre strength and shine – all essential for long hair that stays vibrant and manageable.
