Two girlfriends and I booked in for some styling at Lady Marmalade a couple of months ago, all three of us flying in from interstate for an event that weekend. We chose Lady M almost entirely for its proximity to our accommodation, backed up by the good reviews we'd read. Lady M were also quick off the bat to reply to my email query and they were very amenable to fitting all three of us in for styling appointments around the same time, so we could hang out and make a bit of a girls afternoon of it.
I'm happy to report that our experience was better than we'd even expected. We discovered that Saturday afternoon that Lady Marmalade have their own offshoot styling bar within the salon called 'Pop Dry' that is dedicated solely to making you look as fabulous and flawless as possible, with affordable prices (and delicious branded rock candy to munch on while the magic is happening).
My friends and I pulled up seats at the styling bar and with champagnes in hands proceeded to become superfly hair goddesses. No ask was too great--I wanted some slick big curls, Helen wanted a sexy blowout and Emma wanted a fishtail braid. Done and done. We felt like a million bucks (without having to pay what can often feel like a million bucks) and had an excellent evening getting showered with compliments on our fierce style jobs.
To top it all off, a couple of weeks later I got a thank you note in the mail with a voucher for my next visit. I may live interstate but the next time I'm back in Melbourne, I'm making a beeline for Lady Marmalade's Pop Dry bar to reclaim the sassy locks I first walked out of there sporting. Zang. Love you long time, Lady M. read more
