Making someone feel amazing is what puts a smile on my face each and every time.

My Experience
  • I have a Certificate IV in Hairdressing and for 5 years I was a Redken Performing Artist (RPA) for the Redken Australian Artistic team, educating others in cutting and creative colour workshops nationally.
  • My expertise includes on-trend cuts, colouring, and styling.
  • I’ve won awards and been selected to cut, style, and art direct numerous shoots, backstage work, fashion shows, Fashion Weeks, etc.; however, what I love most is spending one-on-one time and building a bond with my guests and seeing the satisfaction they get from a salon visit. Making someone feel amazing is what puts a smile on my face each and every time.
My Passions
  • I love cutting and colour work, whether it be commercial or creative, and overseeing the daily running and management of the salon and being part of a fun, thriving team.
  • I enjoy a balance of both quiet time (in my own company), spending time with friends and family, health and fitness, and going on adventures. I love the beach and nature, travelling, travel photography, food, sights and culture, and of late, exploring my cooking and gardening skills (Iso life, LOL).
  • My favourite thing to do is staying in a boutique hotel, watching a magical sunset with a cocktail in hand whilst listening to great tunes and just watching the world go by. It really is just the best.

Needed a trim & tint for my grey hair regrowth. Gino came to checkout what tint to use, Gino & crew was so attentive & helpful to match a colour that would blend well with new regrowth. Georgio did my colour & Adriana helped. Colour blended perfect.
Paul did my cut & blow wave, great job Paul, he listened to what I wanted & gave me some helpful hints, great experience. All the involved crew where so nice, attentive & interested in the final result. Thank you to all the crew, I had a lovely experience at Falcone Salon. Look forward to see Paul, Gino & crew again in April. 😘

I am new to the salon and I had Paul as my hairdresser.
He listened to what I wanted and before he started, he took the time to explain to me about the colour and the cut. I was relaxed and walked out totally happy with my end result.

I have been a customer for over 20 years and, as always, Paul did an amazing job with my hair …. I could not be happier. So glad you are back! He is in a class of his own when it comes to cutting and styling. Love the new salon – well laid out, plenty of light and very comfortable.

Thank you Gino for fitting me in last minute with François! Not only did he know how to cut my curly hair, but he further enhanced the style it was already cut in. Winning!
Communication and conversation were both fantastic, and all the staff I interacted with were warm and friendly.
Thank you Falcone. I will be back 😊

Yesterday l had my first hair appointment at Falcone salon in Camberwell at their spacious and gorgeous new premises.
Hair restyle and foils.
A beautiful experience from start to finish! and easily the best hair restyle I’ve ever had.
Paul was lovely, his attention to detail, confidence and is obviously very skilled! Gino the manager and other stylists all wonderful too.
I also loved the beautiful head massage.
I highly recommend this salon
Thank you 🙏

This is first of a very long time I had the best haircut and advice from Gina Moon. I am absolutely over the moon with satisfaction. She listened and created what I am after. Exactly what I am after. I will cherish this experience and that I found my hair stylist.

Talented colourists with a lovely new hair colour. Impressive team here. Actually. It’s rare for me to have a couple of hours to myself, so during that time I was impressed how well this salon treated each client and how the team members supported and helped one another. Refreshing. I will come back here without hesitation.

I am so hoping we can all work hard at getting the vac numbers up, so once again we can open up our lives, our businesses, and our country. I do miss Hair Hub, their friendship, professionalism, and contribution to my life and am hanging out for my first appointment with Paul ASAP.

First time in HairHub and went home very happy. Haven’t coloured my hair in 7 years and went to them and explained them that I just wanted a subtle highlight just an update to my boring and lifeless hair. They were spot on with the results. Ruzhi did an amazing job with colouring with the help of Paul‘s advice, and Maddie cut my hair beautifully. Can’t be any more satisfied. I will definitely come back. Thanks guys!

Always a fantastic experience when I visit HairHub salon.
Highly recommend this incredible team of professional, knowledgeable and very talented colourists, stylists, cutters and assistants for all your hair needs.
Their knowledge of hair care and styles that suit you is exceptional and they really take care of you and your hair.
I’ve been coming to HairHub for the last few years and my hair has never looked healthier and compliments are always flowing. Paul who does my hair is amazing and extremely experienced. He understands hair and always takes the time to teach you about hair care and maintenance so you can continue having healthy hair even after you walk out of the salon. He listens carefully to what you want and works with you to get the best possible result for you and your hair.
Everyone is friendly and always provide a great atmosphere and customer service.

Paul has been doing my hair since 2013 shortly after moving from QLD. I searched high and low for a good hair dresser, so it was only natural I followed him to Camberwell from the city store. Every time I see Paul, I leave the store feeling amazing. No matter the mood or stage in your life Paul can create a style that makes you look and feel fresh and classy. He takes so much care to listen and make a difference. I’ve never been disappointed with a visit in 8 years and I look forward to each and every visit. Paul’s work unknowingly unlocks that special feeling and gives me a renewed sense of ME! Best feeling ever!!

Fronted up with several photos of what I wanted as I needed a change. Paul was great. Sat with me and explained what would be good and if it would be doable. Every step was explained. I felt really comfortable moving ahead. End result was just as I imagined it. Paul also showed me how to get the same result at home in easy to follow steps. I was also treated to a great shampoo/wash and a relaxing head massage that just made my stress melt away. 10/10 for the cut and 10/10 for shampoo/massage.

I seem to regularly get random compliments from strangers about my hair. This didn’t happen until Paul started doing my colour!!! I’ve been going to Falcone for over twenty years and find the whole experience to be super professional and the staff friendly. Paul knows what I want and doesn’t try to deviate from that, although he will tweak things as he sees fit and I trust him in that regard. For me it is easy. I go in and say ‘the usual’ and the results are always amazing. Plus he is a lovely guy, so that helps!!

Paul has been cutting my hair for years & I have always been impressed with his attention to detail, never rushing, and a great result after the crucial post-cut first home wash!
Like the rest of the team, he always greets and treats me like an old friend – however busy the salon is.
