Finding a hairdresser you're happy with is always a challenge. I've been going to the girls at Smooth for six years now and even though I turned traitor a couple of times, I've always gone back to them. There's just something about the way they cut my hair that I love.
Owned by senior stylists, Mel and Letitia the salon is located on Unley Road just up from the Metro Shopping Centre (on the opposite side of Unley Rd). Of all the girls in the salon, I think just about all of them have done my hair at some stage.
If you happen to pay them a visit for a new do, make sure you request "a treatment" when they're washing your hair out. "A treatment" comes with a 'to die for' head massage while you're simultaneously sitting in a massage chair at the basin ... oh and then there's some product put in your hair to make it all shiny. It quite honestly just takes you somewhere else.
I admit to being a girly girl and I like being fussed over but a friend of mine who doesn't like all that fuss paid them a visit recently and was so impressed with her haircut, she asked to speak to the manager at the end of her appointment simply to praise her stylist - high praise indeed from someone who hates haircuts.
If you're in search of the whole package, they regularly do hair and makeup for entire wedding parties and if you visit the salon on a Saturday you're sure to see a nervous bride and bridesmaids flitting about in full preparation for a big day. read more
