Yumi was very lovely and although I sensed a little shyness to her, after having some conversation and showing her a picture what I was looking for Yumi was able to gage the style and look i was hoping for. Pleasantly Yumi and the owner offered coffee or a drink while I sat getting styled which I thought was lovely and I felt comfortable and confident in the professional environment. I understand after talking with owner that this salon has a beautiful history with his sister now passed and for him continuing her legacy which I found to be a lovely story. I will definitely return to make an appointment once again as I feel confident the quality of work Yumi provided and hope that she will stay on as I’m more than certain I would very much like her to look after my hair needs in future. I think Yumi is a star lacks a little confidence in her abilities and honestly she did a great job in really listening and honing her skills to give me a look I wanted

You can probably see who I am as I have this service on my business as well, I’ve been going to this salon for about 20years, never have I had an inexperienced person cut my hair. I have explained numerous times how I am nervous getting My hair done due to bad experiences in the past, the usual girl that does my hair was not available and I had a girl that was probably just out of school, she chunked my hair, now I have a long fringe. Nothing against the young hairdresser, she did her best, but honestly I’m not a Guinea pig wanting my hair done and style changed against my decision. I am in the public eye and value my appearance - she needs more experience on People that choose to have their hair done by someone less experienced or she should continue to practice on a head mannequin. She has the makings of a great hairdresser with a touch more practice

I arrived 10 mins before appt time. Quoted over phone for wash cut and all over root colour $170. Turned out when the girl (who was very nice) looked at my hair said it would be an extra $30 because I had a lot of grey at the back. She said if I didn’t colour it would not look any good. I thought if you asked for all grey roots to be coloured that’s what you get without adding another $30 on. I was put in a difficult spot. I’m in my late 60’s and felt very vulnerable so I said reluctantly to go ahead. I think maybe this is a tactic they use to get clients to spend more. Very disappointing to treat anyone like this. The colour went on the time went on whole process took 3 hours and I had told them I was going to my grandsons birthday straight after. Between the two girls looking after me I believe I may have been forgotten about as I was sitting wondering when they were going to wash the colour off. The whole process was way too long and expensive for what I had done. I won’t be revisiting unfortunately.
