Best Hairdresser Sydney: AHIA Recognition

For Nathan Yazbek, Being named Finalist for AHIA Australian Hairdresser of the Year 2025 validates everything clients experience at Salon Yazbek, the best hairdresser Sydney. This recognition from the “Australian Hair Industry Awards – Creative” represents months of creative development and the collaborative magic that happens when artistic vision meets technical precision.

For this Neutral Bay hairdresser, the finalist achievement reflects a commitment to pushing boundaries both on creative stages and in everyday client appointments. At Salon Yazbek, excellence and artistic courage define every service, whether perfecting cutting techniques or creating competition work. Every client receives the same innovation and precision this award-winning hairstylist delivers.

The Creative Vision: Submerged Spectra

The 'Submerged Spectra' photographic collection captures a dark mermaid aesthetic -mysterious, surreal, and rooted in the interplay between light and shadow. Nathan Yazbek, the award-winning hairstylist behind the collection, transforms hair into a storytelling medium, using texture, shape, and movement to evoke marine life in unexpected ways.

Inspirations included Elizaveta Porodina's surreal photography and Ali Pirzadeh's visionary compositions, guiding every technical decision from structural design to dimensional colour placement.

Key creative elements:

  • Sculptural shapes with organic flow, capturing underwater weightlessness

  • Strategic use of wigs and extensions for architectural dimension

  • Dimensional tones reflecting light filtering through water

  • Textural techniques creating depth and movement

Andrew O'Toole's evocative photography, Chereine Waddell's creative beauty work, and Catherine V's bold styling completed the narrative vision. As an award-winning hairstylist, Nathan's technical mastery of structural cutting and dimensional styling techniques elevated each look from concept to award-worthy reality.
