Heading Out - Fitzroy (1754 reviews)

Comment

I have had good experiences at this salon in the past, however this particular appointment seemed doomed from the start. My usual stylist was unavailable, however I was assured another qualified hairdresser would be able to complete the appointment. I was after a wash/blow-wave and to have my fringe trimmed. Nothing complicated, before going to my friends engagement party. I was unaware it would be the apprentice hairdresser washing and styling while an actual hairdresser squeezed in the fringe trim between clients of her own. The apprentice had no idea what she was doing and the appointment took 1 1/2 hours instead the 30-45 minutes it usually does. The actual hairdresser had to come over in the end, after making several comments to the apprentice, and attempt to correct the blow wave. I had so much corrective product in my hair I felt like I needed to wash my hair and start again rather than go out. This experience set me back a whopping $80, which would have been on the pricey end if completed in a timely fashion by someone qualified.

Just by having a clipper cut Danny has freshened my hairstyle so it looks as if I have had a complete cut and colour. Great advice as to how I can keep the colour lasting longer until the gorgeous Klara can weave her magic again. In less than half an hour Danny has revitalised my haircut and I couldn't be happier!!! Until next time......many thanks Danny. If I could adopt you I would. Tee hee. Xx

I will never visit this salon again - the hairdresser who did my hair was lovely however I feel that I am not welcome here and that my hair is "too hard" - I'm extremely offended. I had a similar experience years ago at the Balwyn salon and that is why I stopped going there - now that Monica is at Fitzroy, again I feel that whenever I make appointments she makes a big deal about "how hard" my hair is and I feel offended. Getting my hair done is a treat. I will be going somewhere where I feel good afterwards not that I have put someone out by my terrible hair.
