The owners Leigh and Dabien are the sweetest people ever and make every trip an asbolute scream. All the hairdressers are super lovely and you get a 5 star feeling when you go in for your treatment. As a blonde with foils, I struggle to find somebody who can get the colour just right and do foils so well, but Leigh kicks over any others I have had touch my hair before. My sister now goes here too and loves Ellie. And we used them all for both of our weddings and everybody commented on our hair. I reccomend this place until the cows come home. Champagne, beer, hot chocolate coffee ... you name it! And reasonably priced for a 5 star hairdresser.

I found this little beauty salon and hair dressers through a Scoopon. What a find! Rani, the…read moreowner, is a truly delightful lady who was the first person to introduce threading to Australia. I'd never tried it, and I can tell you waxing your eyebrows doesn't even come close. Apparently when you wax you still often leave the root of the hair in the skin so the regrowth is quicker. Threading is also heaps more precise than waxing, I've never had eyebrows like this. They also do the full range of beauty treatments at very reasonable prices (including super cheap waxing), and Rani is amazing at fitting you in for last minute appointments. I don't think I'll ever go to another salon when I've got Kelvin Grove Hair and Beauty.

Rani, the owner of this salon, is one of the best and most professional beauticians i've ever used…read more I go regularly for a full body wax every four weeks, and I've never thought of going anywhere else. She uses threading on my face and eyebrows, and I don't even have to pluck between monthly sessions. Her threading technique is incredibly precise, and as a person with fairly thick eyebrow hair, the precision is invaluable. Rani is friendly, and has become a really good friend over the years I've been coming to her for waxing. I can trust her, and that's not really something you always find at a beauty salon. She's always more than willing to reshuffle her schedule to fit in an emergency appointment, and even when she's really busy she manages to me through in perfect time. If Rani ever left Kelvin Grove I would be sure to follow her wherever she went. She's that good.

My hair had been getting ridiculously long for my standards, popped in on a Sunday…read more My first barber (I wasn't able to remember his name) wanted to try a different style on me compared to what I wanted, and it looked great. He was super kind, and professional. I was charged $40 due to it being a Sunday. He said that because he was trying something different on me, if I didn't like it and wanted it a bit shorter, I could come back within 48 hours and get it cut again at no extra charge. I thought was a great policy, I didn't think I would need to use it but my sister wanted my hair shorter for the Summer so I went back the next day after work and saw another man called Gio. Gio did an awesome job, shaved my sides down and got it a lot shorter like my sister wanted, it looked awesome as well as the first haircut. Gio did 10/10 job on the second haircut, attention to detail was perfect. Even put some wax in my hair and a hot towel for my face. Definitely coming back here.

BEN Scissorhands is a new haidresser in the Kelvin Grove Urban Village. Located in the heart of…read morethe QUT Kelvin Grove university campus, Ben's pricing caters well for students, with men's haircuts starting at $20. He also does women's haircuts/washes/foils etc, although I'm unsure of the pricing. From the outside, there is not much to be seen apart from some simple (and clever!) signage on the windows, however stepping inside, you'll find a very comfortable area that I believe was put together by Ben himself! Comfortable hairdressing chairs to sit in, and for those of you having a wash, Ben's wash basin is super comfortable too, supporting your head well and keeping pressure off your neck, which can be uncomfortable. Ben is super friendly, and very knowledgeable in all things hair related. You can show him photos of what you'd like, or explain it to him, and he will read your hair "qualities" and tell you if he thinks it would look good on you. I've had two completely differently styled haircuts from him, both excellent!

Anyone in a service industry (such as myself) knows how important it is to be professionally…read morepresented, and a great hair style is a big part of that - apart from the fact that having less bad hair days just makes me feel that little bit happier and more confident. But combine work with family and life and who has time to spend ages in the morning styling hair? Not me, anyway, which is one of the reasons I LOVE Cube - its a small one-stylist business, which means its lovely and quiet and private, and you can even bring in babies and kids, so no more needing a babysitter while you get your haircut... The owner-operator Lyndall is a fantastic stylist and has the magic ability to always cut my hair in such a way that it is quick and easy to deal with in the mornings AND continues to look great as it grows out (she knows I won't bother styling it, so she doesn't "fluff" with products, she just colours and cuts it expertly - the years of experience show in her work). Add to that the ability to have the lovely Lyndall's full attention (no annoying apprentice chatting away inanely in the background or hairdressers having indecently personal conversations over your head and completely and rudely ignoring you etc), and those extra little touches like a coffee while I wait, and this is by far my favourite place to be when getting a hair cut... Hair cuts used to be a stressful experience for me, now they are so relaxing I have to warn Lyndall I might fall asleep :) Would do it every week if I could...

Snip snip, chop chop. It can be a scary noise when you're in the company of a hairdresser who…read moredoesn't know what their doing. But at Aria, which I found out about through a friend's recommendation, I decided to give it a shot. This Japanese hair salon is in the CBD and keeps their clients happy and their hairdressers relatively busy. I've now been there twice: each visit with a different hairdresser and have come out a happy camper. The second time around, I knew I could just pick up one of the magazines and point at it and let the stylist know what I was looking for. Taka, who is a manager stylist and unfortunately has moved up to Brisbane, takes great care when snipping away. You're definitely safer off with a manager stylist, which is worth the extra cost as the prices there are rather wallet-friendly. Customer service there is fantastic! It probably has a lot to do with the (Japanese) culture but from the point of entering ("Konichiwa!!") until when they see you off at the door, they're there mindfully doing their job well. Also, they've got promos like "happy hour" where it's 20% off M-F before noon and others that are released through their newsletters, as well as others like friend referrals. I highly recommend Aria salon if you're looking to get a good haircut, at great value, and fabulous service!

Sometimes you need a little confidence boost, you know? You want a little spring in your step that…read moresays, "Come and get me, world!" and it's a spring that no amount of green juice, whole foods or nourishment can give you. It's a spring that comes, unfortunately, from the superficial. Today was such a moment where I just wanted to tame my mane and a quick online booking with The Blow Dry Room solved all my first world problems. In a lightening fast 60 minutes, my frizz-tastic ginger mane was transformed into something, I think, Rita Hayworth would be proud of. Johnny is a master working his skills with the blow dryer, ghd and Davines hair care products. These guys specialise in blow drys and special occasion up-dos, and with special note to the striking flamingo wallpaper background, you'll leave feeling a million dollars. Booking online makes it a super easy process, and there's no pretense. Talk, don't talk, read a magazine, don't read a magazine - the fact remains, behind you will be a pro working on blowing your hair to perfection. All puns intended.

Excellent service, convenient location and very reasonably priced…read more I had my hair done by Johnny last night. I was super happy with the 'do', I will definitely be back :)

I've been here before for apprentice cuts…read morewhich have cost nothing, however, I've always been treated as a full-paying customer, which makes me think that their apprentices must turn into fine hairdressers. Away from other shops and situated on a relatively quiet street in Paddington, the Bach salon is serene and the service professional making for a relaxing and pampering experience. The thing I love best about it is the big, reclining massage chairs at the wash basins. The apprentices are also well-trained in the art of head massage--I could easily fall asleep sitting there. The owner, Peter, is often in the salon and contrary to the stereotypes there may be about male hairdressers, he is very down to earth and friendly, and clearly takes a hands-on role in his business. As I said, Bach is a bit out of my price range with cuts starting from $110, but for those cashed-up individuals, I highly recommend it.

It was mid-morning on a Tuesday, they were somewhat busy, so I booked to return that afternoon. My stylist, the salon manager, was running late when I arrived, which is something I loathe. So, after waiting around 20 minutes we finally met, had my hair cut, which was okay, and was out in probably about the same time I had waited. My wife was then looking for another place to try, so I recommended this salon to her. She arrived on time, but then had to wait over an hour - I would have left - before she had her hair cut. Then, just today, I arrived for another appointment at 12 noon, only to find my stylist running some 20 minutes late; so, went for a coffee, came back when she told me, and was still involved with other customers and no end in sight. Which is the straw that broke this camel's back. This salon is far from the only game in town, and if you can't manage the time and flow of your customers, then you're going to lose business and be bad-mouthed. It also seems that male customers take a back seat here, as women getting foils and colours are a lot more lucrative, and time consuming, than men popping in for a simple and much cheaper cut. A pity, really.
