I've been attending the salon for over a year now and generally have been really happy with the service. Unfortunately on this occassion the hair colour service I received was as expected. Aliah coloured and cut my hair. My colour did not turn out right and Aliah did help to correct with additional toner, however when I got home I noticed other parts of the colour which was not right also, the highlights along the front of the face were really thick and too light compared to the rest of my hair. The correction only applied to the top layer so when I pull my hair back or change the part, the colour is all wrong. There was still a lot if brassiness left in other parts too. My hair was also breaking off in the Blond parts at the front

A simple “How are you, how was your day” would have created a more connected experience. The hairdresser did not speak with me at all except when she instructed me to go to the basin or was giving me advice about my hair. I was at the basin and had my eyes closed and heard my hairdresser whispering to someone else and then proceeded to speak loudly and start laughing. I felt quite uncomfortable about this. The ambience of the place was very calming however the staff seemed cool and too aloof

My hairdresser was friendly enough, however I walked away really disappointed in the quality of service received. The colour was really not what I asked for - I kept being reassured it would lighten up once dry but unfortunately it hardly even looked like I got colour through my ends. I also asked for it to be curled for an event that night and when I got home 10mins later my hair was practically straight. I just felt so disappointed with the service. My hair is difficult to work with but I'd really hoped the hairdresser would have still managed to find a way to manage my hair to at least stay in for the evening. I also had to ask several times for my tea... I think she just kept forgetting. Staff were friendly enough but I really did not walk away thinking "that was $210 well spent". In fact none of my friends could even notice a difference I am now asking myself why I bothered to get it coloured at all! Such a shame as I was really hoping to find a good local hairdresser to start visiting regularly. Sent from my iPhone

I got swapped out to another stylist without anyone saying anything. That made me a bit nervous and the anxiety of having to trust someone I didn’t know. The vibe always seems kind of awkward and no one really seems too happy to see you when you walk through the door. When your prices increase there is no reason for me to go back as the vibe is so bland. Also, I would introduce wine as an option for late appointments.

I felt uncomfortable being called 'hon', being told it was 'alright' to live with jusdt my husband, wondering if I did volunteer work in order to 'fill up my days'. The whole tone was condescending to older people in general. I hope that you take this on board in the spirit in which it was written; there is no need to publicise it and I love my haircut. Cheers

VERY SLOW. Long wait times between colour/washing/styling. But at less than $30 for three hours you can’t say it wasn’t value for money.
