Stefan Toowong I recently had nanoplasty done at Stafn Hair Toowong, and unfortunately, I am very disappointed with the results and overall 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… Read more
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 ordered several Kerastase products from Stefan that were meant to come with a Kerastase tote bag. The packer ticked the Tote on the packing list and then threw in a useless Stefan brand Emery board instead. I called and they told me they would call me back but they never did.
Booked an early appointment at North Lakes as was getting my hair ready for my daughter’s wedding so I know they needed time to do it all. Needed a good style cut, base hair colour with full head of foils. App got pushed back another 2 hours because they were understaffed, only got half a head of foils then they didn’t have time to do my hair… Read more
cut. Had to go back next week to get hair cut and they did a trim not a style cut. Never again after the amount of money they charge and the complete stuff around. I was made feel like they were too busy so I’ll go elsewhere from now on. They are always under staffed and over booked but to set aside a whole day and get treated like this. Never again.
I had a big appointment and was a bit nervous going in, but the team at the salon made me feel comfortable and explained the options clearly. They suggested some upgrades to help me get the best result, but there was no pressure. The foils were done with care, and the colour turned out beautifully, creamy, bright, and exactly the tone I wanted. My… Read more
hair was styled nicely and I left feeling really happy with the result. Staff were friendly and professional throughout. Would definitely recommend!
Loved the results. Beautiful blonde and great service. Had a full head of foils done at Stefan and I’m really happy with how it turned out. The blonde looks bright and fresh, exactly what I was after. The team took their time and explained everything clearly. It was definitely a premium service, and I left feeling confident and cared for. Worth it for the quality!
Amazing staff and experience from start to finish, thank you!
I asked for a half head of foils to lighten my hair and received excellent service—I’m really happy with the results. This time, I prepared ahead by doing a simple Instagram search for the type of blonde I wanted. Bringing reference photos and having an awesome consultant take the time to assess the condition of my hair and explain what was achievable made a huge difference. Highly recommend!
I love my hair stylist in Marloolaba salon and she’s exceptional in her talent to do great job styling and cutting my hair with beauty.
I won’t be returning to a Stefan’s again after charging 500$ for a foil head of foils to come out of the salon looking darker then entering the salon. Very dissatisfied with the service and only money grabbing from clients. Don’t get your blonde hair done here
Disappointed to discover booking online isn't actually booking the appointment. It is just an offer of maybe we can, but can't. Confused that if a time slot is available, with any stylist, I'm not fussy, isn't actually an available timeslot. I guess I was only a cut so I guess someone spending more money may have got my spot? Anyway it is hard… Read more
when working to get another day which was offered but clearly I needed said booking as it was my day off to actually get hair cut. Then I recieve an email implying I cancelled and I won't be charged for cancelling! Maybe listen to the customer and why they didn't take the appointment and say sorry in the email. Was excited to enter Stefan again after many years but not now sorry.
Never go here – The worst hair appointment I’ve ever had. Staff were rude and unhelpful. Tried to up sell my appointment from $400 to $670 when I said no they quickly slapped some foils on and left me. I complained about my hair at the end saying it was creamy and bright like I asked for then they told me they used warm beige toner no wonder it looks awful My… Read more
hair was half dried and poorly styled left with my hair in a bun and in tears. Staff didn’t care that they messed it up at all
Terrible so many goes to even login – Your website is rubbish - sack the agency who does your APP too!
Disappointed – Hi I am sorry to say my experience last night at Stefan was not good. After my colour was applied and hair washed I was informed that the lady could not give me the cut I wanted and another hair stylist would have to do it. This was a half hour wait. Upon providing what I wanted my haircut is nothing like I suggested. I will not return as the… Read more
$200 I spent was wasted. Such a shame as I have been going to Stefan for a few years now. The colour was fine but I left very disappointed.

Customer service is NOT DEAD !!! – I took my 12y daughter into Victoria Point Stefan and our stylist was Cameron. What an amazing experience.. Cameron looked at the picture we had, asked her questions and really listened !!! I haven’t seen a hairdresser in years that really listened and executed it with so much finesse. She went above and beyond, the massage chair, the eye mask,… Read more
hair wash… the SMILE !!! Omg customer is so rare these days and Cam was the bomb. We’ve never been here before and we will be returning. Thank you beautiful lady for making my girl look and feel amazing ! It shows you love your job well done girl you rocked it thank you.
Beware! You will be overcharged! – I booked a 10:30am appointment for the $189 half head of foils promotion. At 10:50am, no stylist and no explanation as to what was happening. Totally understandable if he was running late due to a previous client, but no, he wasn’t even in the salon. When he arrived we went through what I wanted, a half head of foils and a trim. I reminded him of… Read more
the $189 promotion, knowing that the trim would be an additional cost. I was not prepared for the $488 quote he came back with! $488 for a half head of foils and a trim - nothing else requested. Absolutely no thank you!! How disgusting to be quoted that much - price gouging at its worst. I left the salon. I would hate to think that someone else would be put in a position like that, particularly if they didn’t have the confidence to simply leave. I would avoid this place at all costs.
Excellent Service – Always a great experience with exceptional service! Thanks for everything you girls do at the Kipparing store. I left feeling amazing!!! Thank you :)
Best hair experience ever – I recently had my first ever appointment at Stefan in queen street mall and it was by far the best hair salon experience I’ve ever had . My stylist was Taryn and she not only listened to me about my hair needs she also went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met and took the time to explain everything she planned to do to my hair and to… Read more
make sure I was happy. I loved every minute of having my hair done and I received so many compliments on my hair afterwards . I come to Brisbane regularly from Mackay and will be booking my hair appointments here each time I visit now . I highly recommend Stefan in queen street mall all the girls were bubbly and super nice and the overall salon vibe is friendly and happy .
Over charging at its best! – The worst haircut I have ever had. I even took pictures of the style cut I I wanted. Basically I ended up with what amounts to a trim and a hair wash. The stylist spent more time blow drying my hair than cutting it. I could have gone to Just Cuts and got the same trim for $45 not $175.00. I won't be returning. They need to get back to cutting… Read more
hair, not on selling products, and sweet talking clients I come for a haircut not all the rest of it. . Bye Bye Stefans.
Terrible job at highlights – I had booked for highlights since my birthday was coming up and I was extremely excited, and when the hairdresser asked me what colour highlights I wanted she showed me a few photos and I had said I liked this creamy blondy brown type of colour. First she had given me a hair cut, then she got to the highlights and I thought she would check them… Read more
throughout but she didn't until she took them off which was fine but made me a bit anxious but it was fine. Then she washed it and got to the toner which she said would be on for 20 minutes, and I'm pretty sure I waited quite a bit over 20 minutes to the point my neck really hurt in the sink, she finally came back and rinsed It out just to put more toner in and make me wait again. but finally after that she washed it out and went back to the chair where she dried it, she asked me if I liked the colour and I just said yes and now that I look back I definitely should have said something but I am a really shy person when it comes to that stuff. first off, I could barely tell a difference in the colour of my hair before and after, besides from completely unblended money peices that I said I didn't want when she asked me, over all I feel like there was wasted time and money, and I cannot lie I cried on the way home and I do not know if this it normal but once I washed my hair myself there was still so much unwashed out toner left in my hair I spent ages trying to get out.
Best shampoo and conditioners!! – I purchase Stefan’s own shampoo, conditioner and treatment and I have to say it is the BEST shampoo, conditioner and treatment I have ever used. It just makes my hair so soft and manageable and it’s such a fair price! I usually place an order and by the next day it s shipped! Usually takes around 2 days to get to me and I don’t even like on the Gold Coast!! I love these products and the customer service is second to none!!
BLONDE BOMBSHELL..!! – Sophie spent good time discussing the colours of my blonde & listening to how my hair behaves… She was very specific throughout the entire treatment & the results were second to none..!! It’s been a week & I still feel like I’m a walking advert, with lots of wonderful comments..!! Thank You SOPHIE..!! Show details
Don’t wash out hair properly – They don’t wash my hair out properly and am always left with colour in my scalp it’s so annoying

Bad hair cut – I have been going to Stefan for around 10 years. The last 2 haircuts have been terrible not straight very crooked. Didn’t listen to what I wanted ended up with a bob. I hate bobs seriously not every woman over 40 likes bobs. Will not be going back only gave one star because the coffee was good
Great experience – High price compared to my usual at home hairdresser but cheaper than the hairdressers in my area - South Brisbane/West End/City. Always professional. Always a great cut. Products smell lovely. Don't take ages
Will not be going back - ridiculous price increases – I have been getting my hair done at Stefan's roughly every 4 weeks for 12 years. Always been happy. However, after yesterday's experience, I will not be returning. This has nothing to do with the stylist, who was very good. Twelve months ago (Dec 2022) it cost $70 for regrowth colour. (I'm good at doing my own styling, so I would usually just… Read more
get the regrowth done, but every third or fourth visit I'd get a cut and blow-dry done too.) Then January 2023 they went from $70 up to $90. Ouch, but fair enough. February 2023 it went up further to $100, which I questioned. They told me "cost of living, etc." Yesterday I went in to just do the regrowth as I wanted to do my own styling for Christmas Eve, and I was told it would cost $180. $180!! They tried to do a positive push on it by telling me that that price included a cut and blow-dry. I explained that I didn't need a cut as I had a style-cut 3½ weeks ago, but they remained firm that this is their new pricing policy. No more regrowth only service. So, Dec 2022 I paid $70 to get my regrowth done, and Dec 2023 I was charged $180 (I did not want/need the cut and blow-dry)! A price increase of $110 in twelve months?? Unacceptable. After twelve years at Stefan's, I will now be going elsewhere.
Why the surcharge??? – Stefan already charges a fortune for hairdressing. Now a surchage in debit card as well???
Price increase plus a card surcharge – I have been having my hair coloured at Stefans Brisbane for 8 years the hair stylist are wonderful. I understand that there is a need to increase prices but to charge a debit card surcharge with a price increase is ridiculous! I have my hair coloured every 4 weeks. Why add a debit surcharge and a price increase? Really !!
Waste of time and money – I ordered 3 gift packs and other items. All three gift packs were incorrect which was frustrating. I emailed them but they never replied. Prices are exactly the same as everyone else bit I wanted to buy from small businesses instead to help out but I guess that was my mistake. Complete lack of care and no communication what so ever! Terrible
Love the salon – I’m so glad I came back to Stefan and recommend them. They are very nice and look after you. They come to check on you and ask you if you want another drink or anything.
Exactly what I wanted – Went to Stefan for a hair cut and was served by a lady named Aaliyah who was very polite and professional. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Great job Aaliyah, the haircut was exactly what I wanted.
SUPER CUTE DO – Aaliyah attending to my shameful head of hair. She was polite helpful and gave me tips to care for my hair. She guided me on what she was doing throughout the process and delivered a cute hair cut that shaped my face and gave me a fresh new look. Muchly appreciated and would recommend Aaliyah to anyone needing a new do
Overated – Staff were friendly but not impressed with price for just a cut. add on costs. Did not feel the staff werent that experienced. Did not have Color as cost was ridiculous.
