Walking out of Daly Salon was the first time I have ever walked out of a hair salon embarrassed by the way my hair looked . I had a flat top with a bulbous, shaggy and untidy curls in the mid range, with ends that stood prominently through out the back. While I think it is great that Kelsey is being trained on the job in styling/curling my hair, I genuinely do not think it was of a quality that I should have walked out sporting. Kelsey advised that the curls will look better once they've gotten some time to loosen, and I agreed- I thought maybe I didn't like the haircut/style as it is just something new I need to get use to as I am visiting a new hairdresser. By night time, even as the curls loosened, it was clear that it wasn't the tightness of the curls that was the problem, it was the styling. From the front, there was a single bulge that concaved out from the side of my cheeks, with the ends flared out at my shoulders. Similarly, the back had a flat top with only the middle being a bulbous, unevenly curled mess with thin ends. By the time of my event the next day, it was clear that the styling was not of presentable quality, therefore I washed my hair out and blow dried as normal to see if the hairstyle would look any better natural. Unfortunately, it became clear that it was not just the styling that was the problem, but the haircut itself looked shaggy and boxy. I had asked for layers, just as I had when I walked into the salon. Requesting the exact same hairstyle I had when I walked in, just shorter and to armpit length. While I appreciate the removal in weight, there has been too much removal to the point where it does not look natural at all. It looks like I have periodic spaces /not enough hair/volume on my head. Another issue is the prominent unblended layers. I have never seen such stark layers ever created- I could not tell in the salon with the curls in place and I genuinely wanted to give the salon a chance. I also walked into the salon with a U shaped haircut, but upon washing and drying I realise that my hair looks very boxy and straight as if it had been cut straight across. My hair prior to this appointment and styling had natural waves, which have since been disrupted by the curls that have been placed. I have never been so embarrassed with the way my hair looks, it has definitely affected my confidence and I am so, so disappointed with my experience. While Anh and Kelsey are both lovely people, I definitely will not be returning. I have asked for honest feedback from my close confidants and even they say that the haircut does not suit me and does look quite shaggy. While it does not fix my hair, I would appreciate it if Paul could reach out and process a refund for me.

Austin does great precision cutting for short styles. I was lucky enough to have him transform my shoulder length hair to a no-fuss but fun pixie cut. If you're looking for a great stylist in Adelaide, this is your guy.
