My first time here was great, my colour was perfect as was my cut, but my second experience left me leaving disappointed and I felt like I'd been tricked into paying for more services than I thought I was agreeing to. Turns out I had the head stylist on my second visit and she is very pushy. While she does a great job at my colour, she always offers her opinions in a way that makes you feel inferior. Plus she is very good at sneaking in extra charges. I went in with a booking for a whole head of foils, I get 2 blonde to 1 dark brown. As I was telling her this, she jumps in saying who about instead of the dark brown, we go with a caramel? This sounded good and I agreed to it. When I got to the register the total was well over $230! The whole head plus cut and blow dry is only $185. It turns out she did a whole head of foils blonde and coloured the rest of my hair caramel. Two different treatments! After this experience I was hesitant to go back, but I did and this time I made sure I was very specific with what I wanted and it worked. I managed to tune out her advice (thinly veiled comments about hair damage to get you to buy products) and I got what wanted. They have good prices and a good service, just be prepared to be very specific if you want to stick to a budget.

I'd not have known the salon was there had they not had signs of Grenfell St, but I am so glad I found this little treasure. For $65 I got a shampoo, trim, blowwave, straighten, both pre and post styling treatments and an eye brow wax (included as this weeks special). I also received a VIP card which entitles me to 15% off future visits and 10% discount on all products. I have already booked my next appointment and Sean and I are working together so that I can have the hair style I desperately want. He is brilliant and my hair looks gorgeous.

I was going from elbow length hair to collar bone length and I ended up with chunky uneven cuts that were not even vaguely blended. Everything was fine until I said I wasn't happy with the final result. Cristiano remained polite but was clearly offended, and he showed it by continuing to cut more. I felt helpless in the chair, and the end result left me in tears. After emailing feedback, I was invited back for a restyle, which I appreciated, but the trust was gone. I'm still trying to grow it out enough to have it reshaped elsewhere. I wasn't going to leave a review, but when you're still wearing a hat to hide your hair months later, that calls for a review.

This is a great shop for picking up shampoos, treatments and styling products. It looks like a simple shop from the outside, but within there is actually a salon out the back, where they do haircuts and piercings. Having known someone that have worked here, they ensure that their staff is trained and experienced before trying their skills out on you. You won't have to worry about leaving the shop looking like a circus freak - unless you want to. Not only is the staff friendly, but they also share great tips for hair treatment. They won't try to sell you the most expensive product on the shelf unless it's the best thing for you, and they'll often throw in samples for free with your purchase.

As a male, there obviously is not as much in the this store as there is for the other 50% of the population, but still I have found plenty of things from this store. The staff are very helpful, my first visit I was quickly served by a lovely woman who took me through all possible options for what I wanted. I haven't had a hair cut here, however, so I cannot comment on that aspect. But they also offer waxing and piercing as well. Sort of an all in one vanity store!

The last time I had my tresses trimmed, the poor stylist was working on three customers simultaneously, plus manning phone appointments. She did an excellent job though and I commend her for that. I would love to see a dedicated set of stylists working on each available customer as I feel it's important for a hair stylist to make a connection with their respective clientele. Not every stylist can understand your hair type or stylist needs, hence I doubt I will be a regular here. On a positive note, the prices are reasonable and they usually hold regular promos to encourage foot traffic to the salon. My last visit saw me paying less than $50 for a wash, cut and blow.

The salon itself is spacious,stylish and decorated with lots of marble. It is devoid of any clutter and has a sense of timeless elegance. However, the main reason I come here is Tony, the owner and senior stylist. He was the person I trusted to cut off all my 80's long permed hair and fashion it into a 90's sleek bob. I have been through a few different styles since then. As well as being a superb cutter, he is also on the very cutting edge of fashion and will transform your hair accordingly if you just let him go. I love the fact that I don't have to say too much but he seems to know just what to do. This may be because I have been coming for so long but I think it is just one of the things he does well naturally. He knows what style suits what face shape and importantly, lifestyle: No one wants a haircut that is too hard to keep up. Part of the service is that Tony will make sure that you know how to manage a new look before you leave the salon. He as even put the dryer in my hand before an got me to do it just to make sure. Crystal, who also works here is an expert in colour. Not as suave and personable as Tony but a genius with all things colour. Being a newcomer to colour myself, she has helped me understand this technical area and does a great job with the foils I have occasionally. Service is great here. Whenever you are waitng you get offered refreshments with choices such as cappuccino, latte and even champagne. When you pay the bill, Tony (being of Italian descent and a smooth operator) will kiss both cheeks and hand you a chocolate as you float out of the door with your new do.

Taila understands my individuality and always sculpts my ideas into real life bliss. I always recommend them to others. Without even a second thought.

So the other day I decided I needed a change and I thought I'd give C Salon a go. My only other experience was about 5 years ago (who knows if it's still the same salon). Three friends all getting our formal makeup done, and the salon kindly fixed up a friend's hair emergency free of charge. So fast forward to 2012 and I was after a cut, colour, and severe thinning of my hair. I was presented with a colour book and Kerri helped me figure out what I was after. There was no hard sell, I wasn't pressured into anything I didn't want, and when I asked to keep my length I kept it. I didn't even get a lecture for trimming my own fringe for the past year, that's always a win in my book!
