You Working Holiday visa has no restrictions on the type of work you can do and as long as you don't work for any given employer for longer than 6 months, you are free to work wherever and at whatever you wish. In Western Australia however, you must be registered to work as a hairdresser, so that will be a barrier to working over there for a short period of time. For information, see: http://www.hrb.org.au/content.php?page=28 I've been seeing heaps of signs at salons here in Brisbane saying that they're currently hiring, so it seems that the employment prospects are fairly bright and I expect that would be the case in our other cities too. I'm not sure how prepared employers would be to hire for only 4 months, but if they need staff and you're good at your work, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
