Billi the Salon isn’t just a new hair salon …..
It’s a dream, a creative playground, and a bright, personality-packed slice of East Gosford brought to life by the incredibly lovely Elly Hanson.
After nearly 20 years of cutting, colouring, texturising and globetrotting her way through the hair world, Elly has opened the doors to her very own space, and it’s everything she ever imagined. Light-filled, spacious, welcoming, and beautifully designed, Billi the Salon feels like stepping into a breath of fresh air. The kind where you instantly drop your shoulders, take a deep breath, and have that familiar sense that you’re in the right place.

And that’s exactly the point.
Elly created Billi the Salon as a haven for people who want hair that actually feels like them. Not the “cookie-cutter balayage” you see everywhere, but hair with shape, texture, movement and personality. The kind that tells the world exactly who you are before you even say hello.
Because here’s the thing about Elly: she’s obsessed with colour (the good kind of obsessed), addicted to texture, and genuinely passionate about personalised hair. She believes a great colourist should be able to do it all, warm, cool, bold, soft, lived-in, playful – whatever makes you feel most at home in your own skin. Her signature style? Dreamy tones, hair with life, and cuts that move.
But beyond her talent, what makes Billi the Salon so special is Elly herself. She’s warm. She’s joyful. She’s zero judgement in human form. You could walk in with grown-out roots, frazzled ends, or four-year-old box dye, and she would still greet you like a friend she’s genuinely happy to see. Having worked with so many businesses over the years, there’s something deeply comforting (and oddly emotional) about watching someone achieve what they’ve spent their entire career working toward. And standing inside her salon, surrounded by sunlight and possibility, you can feel exactly that.
Billi the Salon isn’t just for clients either – it’s a space built for creative stylists who share Elly’s ethos: fun, funky hair with depth, soul, and technical integrity.
From shags to layers, fringes to texture cuts, soft dimension to bold colour play, Billi the Salon is all about hair that feels intentional, honest, and beautifully you. Whether you’re someone who knows exactly what you want or someone (like me) who walks in saying, “I don’t know… help?”, Elly’s got you. Her approach is personal, thoughtful, and entirely shaped around bringing your unique style to life.
So if you’ve been craving a salon experience that feels warm, inspiring and miles away from the usual “in and out” vibe, consider this your sign to book in. Pop in, say hello, soak up the beautiful space, and see why everyone’s already talking about East Gosford’s newest creative gem.
