I’ve been seeing Carol at the Northland clinic in Melbourne and she’s fantastic. I alternate between skin needling and LED/skin peel treatments. Have been very happy with my results and Carol is always so welcoming.

Genuinely unsettling experience—do not trust Salon Express with your hair ​I’m actually shaking writing this, not even out of anger anymore but just… Read more

pure shock at the lack of basic professional standards here. I went in a blonde with one very clear, specific rule: stay blonde, do not go brown. I even made sure they understood it. I walked out with dark brown, muddy, chemically fried hair.

​It’s the lack of care that gives you the ick. To sit in a chair and be so clear about your identity, only for a "professional" to do the exact thing you told them would ruin your self-esteem, is honestly creepy. It felt like they weren't even listening to the person in the chair.

​The worst part is the damage. My hair doesn't feel like hair anymore; it feels like straw. When I tried to get them to take responsibility for ignoring the brief and trashing my hair, they just didn't want to know. It’s a total lack of integrity.

​If you care about your hair’s health or actually getting the colour you pay for, stay well away. They’ve managed to make me feel completely washed out and pale, and they don't seem to care one bit that they've caused this. Absolute cowboys. Avoid at all costs.

Had my one and only experience with just Cuts Booragoon today. I splashed out on a wash cut and blow dry as my hair is really fine so needs a good… Read more

blow dry to give some body. Absolute waste of time and money. The hairdresser completely dried my hair off with the dryer and her hands first then wasted another 20 minutes sectioning off and my now dry and limp hair in an attempt to ‘style’ it with a round brush. She showed a complete lack of any technique in styling or blowdrying hair so much so I reminded me of when my toddler daughter used to play ‘hairdressers’ with me. The result was an absolutely hideously lank and completely unstyled effort. Utter waste of time and money. Obviously ran home and did the whole thing again myself. Definitely DO NOT recommend.

Dishonest company – So very disappointed with the service provided by this company. Took my money and didn’t refund then failed to reply. A dishonest company, not one I wish to support.

gentle, non-toxic approach. No drills, no acrylics or SNS just safe clean beauty. Tools are sterilised in an autoclave, and files are never reused. I also love their relaxing foot and leg massage and how much care they put into every detail. My nails have never looked better!

Stefan Toowong I recently had nanoplasty done at Stafn Hair Toowong, and unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the results and overall… Read more

experience.

Previously, when I had nanoplasty treatments done elsewhere, the results lasted around seven months. However, this time the treatment lasted just over three weeks, which is completely unacceptable given the cost and the expectations set during consultation.

I was also advised to purchase specific BKT products to maintain the treatment, but despite following the recommended aftercare, the results did not last. This makes me question both the quality of the products suggested and the service provided.

Overall, I feel extremely dissatisfied and misled. The service did not deliver the promised outcome, and I do not believe I received value for the amount paid. I hope the salon reviews this seriously and takes responsibility for the poor results.

I had a great experience at Valonz. I went in for a cut and tone/glaze. The color turned out perfect, blending my natural color and overgrown bleach.… Read more

I received a refreshing cut with long layers to lighten up the bulk. The front desk staff were kind and welcoming. The salon feels artistic and interesting but not pretentious. I'm not sure what all the bad reviews are about. They may reflect more on the reviewer than Valonz Haircutters. It is expensive, so I suggest looking on social media to ensure you like the stylist's previous work, but I prefer quality over quantity when visiting a salon.

are heroes and treat all like goddesses or gods. I know, because Max cut my hair exactly as I wanted it and listened to me during my pre-appointment consultation. On the day of my big transformation, Marjone ensured that my every need was met and all the team was a pleasure to be amongst. I left feeling like a goddess and Max was definitely my hero, but better still, the next day I got up and still looked fantastic, my hair was the same as Max said it would be, thanks to her cut. I can’t thank Elysium Hair Brisbane enough— their heroes, and me, I’m rockin’ a beautiful look— better add another goddess!

consultant took me in a room & pretty much said right away the treatment wasn’t really for me & talked me into another treatment for $400 & it was an hour long session. I went for the treatment & it did not go for an hour it was more like 45 minutes. I feel this company is using the special & once your the they say this treatment is not the best one for you so that is how they are scamming people for more money! This company is a disgrace !!!

booked four months ago at my previous visit. Despite having been a loyal customer since moving to Australia—with numerous treatments, cuts, and a significant amount spent at this salon—I was shown no understanding or flexibility. My phone number had changed, so I did not receive the reminders, yet I was still charged in full without any consideration of my long-term patronage. On top of that, I was charged for toner at my last appointment despite clearly requesting not to have it. The lack of grace, empathy, and customer care shown toward a regular, loyal client is extremely disappointing. Sadly, after this experience, I will not be returning.
