I visited the Botany salon today and I am so thankful to Sunita for my hair! She listened to me and…read morereally made me feel wonderful, my hair is how I wanted it. I have many Vivo salons closer to my home but I will definitely be travelling the 1 hour drive back there from now on. Thank you for looking after me and making me feel amazing Sunita, you are a darling!

After a, shall we say, "difficult" visit to another nearby hairdresser (Noise - check the review),…read moreI popped into Vivo feeling quite hopeful. It has a professional, slick look both inside and out, and I thought I just might have found a great hairdressers. But that's where the good bit ends. I walked into the shop and it took ages for me to even be acknowledged. And I don't mean a few seconds, it was minutes. I was thinking about walking back out when a woman then came over to greet me (I use the term in the loosest sense) and it all went rapidly downhill from there. I've come across some busy hairdressers, some harassed hairdressers, some stressed and overworked hairdressers, but none have ever been as rude as this. It was as if she was actively trying to make me feel that she didn't want me there. Worst of all, she was really defensive and wouldn't give me a clear answer to anything, like; Me: I'd like an appintment with your best cutter please. Angry hairdresser: What do you mean? We're all good cutters. Me: Oh okay, well could you recommend someone who's good with wavy hair? Angry hairdresser: Not really. We all do everything. Me: So do you have any appointments available this week? Angry hairdresser: Well I'd have to check. We're pretty busy. Etcetera, etcetera. As you might have guessed, she didn't offer to check for an appointment for me, and I didn't end up handing over any money to any of their many expert cutters.

Oh no. I was so excited that I'd finally found a great hairdresser near me. I popped in to make an…read moreappointment and agreed to wait for rather ages to secure one with their star - Tadeus. So far so good. The appintment went well too, Tadeus gives an excellent consultation and cuts hair beautifully, with real care and precision. Great. Then for the highlights... Everything was fine until he handed me over to another hairdresser (why oh why?) who over-cooked the foils and then didn't manage to contain the panic in his voice. To top it off, I see the hairdressers making "oh-wow-you-really-stuffed-up-her-hair" faces to each other. I would have preferred an apology.

I'm so happy that I finally found a great hairdresser. Went in asking for foils but the lovely…read morehairdressers all agreed my hair wouldn't handle it. Instead of just doing it, they came up with a plan to try and get my hair back to better condition, before putting anything in it. Every time I have been to a hairdresser they have just gone ahead and damaged my hair. They even suggested I use a certain product that would help (normally hairdressers try and sell you everything) but they only tried to guide me on product which has made an amazing difference to my hair. I am very happy with them and can finally say I have found a great hairdresser which I will be going to for a very long time. :)

This was the worst experience at any salon…read more I've been going to this hair salon and had Irina for the past 4 years. I went on Tuesday to find Irina was no longer working there. My hair had been getting blonder with the foils and the regrowth was standing out quickly. I asked the new stylist if i could have something that would be a softer blonde and blend the natural colour I have a bit. I do love the blonde and have loved what Irina has done just bring it back slightly. When the colour was complete, I had light ginger regrowth and the stylist was upset and said it was my scalp reacting to the colour and not her fault. Also it was Irina's fault that she didnt know exactly what my colour was. Then she spent honestly about 5 minutes cutting my hair and then said I'll fix the colour. She added a new colour to my head and after a while it started hurting. She washed it off and the result was red/orange roots with grey strips throughout. I was shocked honestly. She blow dried my hair and went out back. I went and found my jacket and went to the counter and was told I didn't need to pay for the colour but did need to pay $125 for the cut and the owner would be in touch. My scalp has peeled and I've never heard from anyone. I went and had it fixed at another salon on Saturday. Not Rodney Wayne. They found the cut was very uneven and found patches of hair that didn't have the colour on it at the back. They have fixed my hair and I love it. It will take a few goes to get rid of the orange/ red but I'm on the right path with a stylist that understands colour. Such a shame I have been a loyal customer to Rodney Wayne Ormiston for 4 years and they couldn't even pick up the phone and check on me or see if they could help to fix it. Just dumped! I will never walk into a Rodney Wayne Salon again and strongly suggest you think hard before getting your hair coloured from this franchise.

A big thank you to Rodney Wayne in Botany for the service I requested. My hair looks amazing and…read morethe quality of practice was awesome. I liked the vibe of the management that I received from Natasha. Thank you once again.

My friend & I went here one afternoon thinking the prices were great. Turns out there's a reason…read morethey were cheap. I needed a haircut and she was getting her eyelashes tinted. I waited for about 10 mins in the waiting room while my friend got her eyelashes done. A staff member came, looked at me and walked back out without a smile or a word. What am I, invisible? Another few minutes went by and then three staff gathered around the counter and had a highly confidential chat about money/business in front of me. They saw me there, smirked and carried on without a greeting. It felt like I turned into a ghost! After nearly half an hour of waiting & watching them do no work, I stormed out and got a haircut elsewhere. To Top it all off with something not at all Pretty, a few days later, my friend got an eye infection from the tinting. Beware! Not only is this place a ghastly pink colour, it's filled with ghastly customer service and poor quality deals.

I have always chosen to get my hair done at big, well known salons such as Steven Marr and Rodney…read moreWayne etc etc and had always ended up paying so much money and not getting anything that amazing as a result. My sister recommended this place to me, it's a house that has been converted into a salon. At first I was skeptical, but when you go in you really wouldn't know you were in a house. It was a beautiful clean and modern salon! I had rung ahead and booked my appointment for a student which I believe was around $35! I got a wash and a cut, blow wave was extra but I felt I didn't need it. I had taken in a photograph of what I wanted and I was so pleased with the finished product. All throughout the cut the hairdresser was talking to me and continually asking questions to ensure she got everything right. I really couldn't believe that I had got this beautiful cut for only $35. On Tuesday's they do a children's special between 3-5pm which is a wash and cut for only $20! If you're under 17 you're classed a child which is ever better. They also offer services such as colour, highlight's, extensions and treatments. It really just takes that one step to be brave and try something new! Note: I believe their hours change dependent on bookings. You can book online and receive and instant confirmation.

I had been religiously going to Servilles for years, up until last year when I went overseas for 7…read moremonths on a study exchange. I have to say that I haven't been back since I've been home, mostly due to lack of funds and hair cuts at Servilles not being on the cheap side. That being said however, you definitely pay for what you get - I don't really remember a time where I left Servilles unhappy with my haircut, apart from maybe a few times when they cut my fringe a tad short. All of the staff here are really well trained and I always feel safe with my locks in their hands. They all have a great sense of style as well, so you can rest assured knowing that they won't accidentally give you a tacky hair cut that they claim to be the latest 'trend'. So if you care about your hair and you can afford their prices, give them a call and I'm sure they'll be able to squeeze you in on their busy schedule.
