Everyone should be able to use this site.

Last reviewed 14 May 2026. Built to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Australian Disability Discrimination Act 1992 obligations honoured here and in the salon.

What we've built in

• Keyboard navigation the entire site works with Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, and Esc. No mouse required.
• Skip-to-content link appears on first Tab, drops you below the nav.
• Focus rings visible, high-contrast outline on every interactive element. WCAG 2.2 Focus Not Obscured passed.
• Colour contrast body text and links meet AA contrast against background. Yellow accent is only used on dark or as a non-essential decoration.
• Tap targets every button and link is at least 44 by 44 pixels. Easier on phones, easier on shaky hands.
• Reduced motion if your system asks for reduced motion, scroll-driven animations and parallax respect that and freeze.
• Alt text on every meaningful image. Decorative icons are hidden from screen readers.
• Semantic HTML proper headings, landmarks, lists, and ARIA where the platform doesn't supply it.
• Form labels every input is labelled, error messages are linked, and no field relies on placeholder text alone.
• Language declared as English (Australia). Persian content blocks declare lang="fa" with correct direction.

What's still in progress

• A dedicated Farsi RTL version of the homepage at /fa.
• Audio descriptions on any future video content.
• An accessible cookie consent banner paired with our Consent Mode setup.

In the salon

• Step-free entry off Station Street.
• Adjustable-height chairs.
• Persian and English spoken on site. Other languages can usually be arranged with notice via a phone interpreter.
• Service animals welcome.
• Quiet appointment slots available on request for clients with sensory sensitivity.
• Photography is opt-in, not opt-out.
