I've only been to this Salon a few times and I must say, I'm impressed. I have quite a few friends…read morewho go here and they swear by it. In fact, you'd be suprised by the type of clientele - there are a lot more princesses who visit here than you expect.... but keep it on the downlow - they wouldn't want their secret getting out.... It's decor is super simple so don't expect to feel like you're going to a 5 star salon, but your haircut and colour will make you feel like you've had a 5 star experience. Perhaps the no frills is reflected by the pricing too. Considering how super expensive haircuts in Sydney can be, this is a place where you can and will get excellent value for money. They offer all hair services from cutting, colouring, blowdrying and straightening. The staff are very friendly and make you feel very comfortable. I wold highly recommend this salon and suggest that you don't judge a book by its cover. Prices start from $30...give them a buzz to make an appointment and to ge ta full listing of their prices.

Managed to get a last minute appointment here and so glad I did. Helen asked for some ideas on what…read moreI wanted, and managed to colour my hair perfectly. She really knows her stuff and can't recommend her more highly. It was a big change from brown to Blonde (and included covering up some not so good home dye jobs). Helen gave me a colour I wanted that matched my skin tone well. Price was also really reasonable.

The guy that cut my hair was very friendly and even gave me some tips on how to style it really quick without using many products. The colouring wasn't really what I had in mind, but I liked it. They used some kind of organic dye, that didn't burn my hair at all and even made it shinier than ever. Definitely recommend using them.

DO NOT GO HERE, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY, THEY WILL RUIN YOUR HAIR…read more I got my hair done just before lockdown. I had been almost completely blonde and had a lot of regrowth. I told the stylist I wanted to go back to a balayage type look that was well blended and would be low maintenance. She did some foils which were ok but she went right to my roots after I asked her not to. She then applied a "gloss" to my hair which made it look like I had box dyed my hair and the ends went a green shade because they were blonde and she put a brown dye over top. I paid $370 to look like I box dyed my hair at home. I rang the salon when I returned home to say that I could now see how dark and green my hair was and I wanted to have it redone. Because Sydney was going into lockdown the owner told me there "was nothing he could do" I explained this was a poor excuse and he should either refund me or book a tentative appointment in the future to have it fixed. After multiple phone calls and emails showing him the photos of what I asked for and what I got, he agreed they would fix my hair for me. He told me to book an appointment online as the date for lockdown to end had been announced. My second appointment was changed time slots two days before the appointment and I was told there would not be time for a blow dry only colour. I had a different girl do my foils and she bleached my hair for 40 minutes. We agreed on a warm tone/ caramel/ honey blonde before she started. The end result was very cool toned. I have platinum blonde stripey streaks on the underside of my hair. As I finished my appointment the salon owner (who I had previously been in contact with) tried to charge me $200 for the colouring session. I told him I would not be paying as it was agreed verbally the salon would fix my hair free of charge. After some back and forth and after checking his emails, he agreed and I wasn't charged. However, he said that in future I needed to complain within 5-7 days. I called immediately after getting home after my first appointment. Once I returned home (with wet hair) I ran my fingers through my hair and had large amounts of hair falling out as my hair has been over bleached and it was breaking off. Keep in mind I did not have a hair cut the second time. I am happy to pay a fairly decent amount of money to have my hair done. However, the prices they charge you here are ridiculous and they butcher your hair.

STAY AWAY!! I attended a 15 minute consult to discuss style and colour. I showed photos of my own…read morehair in the style I wished to have cut again - long in the front and stacked at an angle at the back. I emphasise that these are photos of my own hair, not unrealistic magazine pictures. After being assured it would be great, my hair was cut and blow dried even though I specifically asked to leave it wet and see how the curls fall. When I washed it out days later, I was HORRIFIED to find my hair was exactly the opposite to the desired style. It is about 5 cm shorter in the front and the back is rounded instead of angled. To make things much worse, the length is uneven on the right and left as well as the side lengths. She also "debulked" my hair so much that the right side of my head is much thinner and there is a chunk missing from the length. My hair has been hacked and will take years to grow back. Not only is it not the style specifically requested, with photos to be really clear, there is no style. Its crooked and uneven. I was asked to meet with the manager who agreed it was not right and she would cut my hair shorter in the back to try and salvage the look. I insisted on my money back and was told to write to the owner. I have written 3 times and have not had the courtesy of a response. I would give 0 stars.

Disappointing. After repeated mentions my hair is very frizzy, the stylist choice to set my hair…read morewith small bristle brushes (everyone else had curling tongs or curlers). We then ran out of time to finish off as makeup artist was running behind so sent me on my way to "finish at home" by running my fingers through it. It was VERY frizzy and I had no product or equipment to tame / fix it before the event. They also need to get their time management right as a basic. When you are going to a special event, you confirm what time it will take and when you will leave so you expect them to stick to this. The staff did not seem to enjoy their job and at times I felt like I was an inconvenience to them. David Jones location was nice so they get an extra star.

I am someone who goes from brown to ombré, balayage to brown again cuz I'm bored. Always wanted to just go the straight blonde but told let's just do foils a few times. Which going blonde is a process I know and accept that. But the amazing Luke, is the first to actually sit and think about a way to tackle my bronde hair. The staff collaborated with each other to see what could work best to get me along my dream of being blonde. This I think was nice, they really do care about you and your hair at hair cartel. The thing I loved the most was that they didn't try and rush me along and find the quickest solution. No I was there all day and was happy to because Luke was happy to help me get closer to my dream. At no time did I feel like they were rushing my hair or getting over it. Because of this, and the time and effort that was put into me I recommend hair cartel to everyone. Honestly you will not be disappointed. Also all new customers get 20% off their first visit. Who can say no to that.
