My family and I, happened to be in town having lunch, when my husband disappeared for a few mins only to return and tell me we are going to the hairdresser. They saw my hair, took pity on me and within a couple hours, George and team had corrected the horror on my head and replaced it with everything I originally had wanted from the first hairdresser. I felt welcomed, I felt important and was treated like a queen. I walked out of the salon feeling like a million bucks. I will be coming back from now on and recommending them to my family and friends. Thank you George, for taking such good care of me.

This salon has recently opened in their new location and I am very glad of it! I came in with a…read morepretty flexible idea of what I wanted so my hairdresser took the basic idea and went with it. It was so lovely to be able to hand over the reins to someone who is confident in what they're doing - and it turned out looking great! So many times I've gone to a salon wanting a cut or colour which is a bit out of the ordinary and felt like the staff were trying to talk me out of it, but not here. All the girls in the salon were encouraging and excited to see the style take shape and I had a lot of fun. The atmosphere in the salon was bubbly and bright and makes me really look forward to my next visit.

Doesn't care if she ends up with a crew cut or a mullet? Not really...but not enough to follow the smell of a sweet deal. So what I am about to say is a huge comment to the staff at Steven Professional Hairdressing. "I will be back!" Greeted with a warm smile and a beverage list (of the standard you would find in any cafe) I instantly felt a nice local, homely feel in this hairdresser. While I was getting my "do" done my hairdresser Joanna gave me some wonderful tips on how to maintain my cut, keep my locks shining golden and generally ensure I didn't count down the minutes until I could get out of the chair. I walked out with one of the best cuts I have ever had, including a $10 voucher for next time. Plus at the moment the salon (via their website) has 50% off your first cut and blow dry - that's only $32.50! Even if you're not as fickle as I, I encourage you try!

I came into fon salon exactly 1 week ago and requested a half head of colour, This is my first time…read moreat your salon and I was seen too by a young brunette girl who I'm sorry I can't remember the name of. I requested a dark cool brown colour to cover up a light reddish/ brown "banding" of colour across my roots that didn't quite match the rest of my hair. The hairdresser assured me this would be easy to cover and fix up. Throughout, my colour service I noticed the minimal amount of product that this hairdresser was applying to my head and how often she was missing sections of my roots and haphazardly applying the product. Towards the end I noticed that she had no product left in the bowl and instead of topping the hair dye up she just continued to brush the hair dye brush through sections of my uncoloured roots. There were multiple strands of hair that had fallen over my face throughout this time which she did not apply colour too. I also requested a half head of colour also and she only applied product 2cm from my roots. I didn't mention anything at the time as she told me she would emulsify the product down my roots but didn't. When I left the salon and looked at my hair in good lighting my hair is so incredibly patchy and she so clearly has not applied enough product to my hair, I have had many people comment on how patchy the crown of my head is. I'm extremely disappointed at this, and feel that this the worst salon colour I have received.

It takes something big for me to switch hairdressers (sorry, 'stylists')…read more I will only change to a stylist, not salon, that is recommended and even then only if the person recommending it has similar hair to mine and I like what has been done. I've left too many salons and burst into tears in my car to take any more risks. I went to a Rundle Street salon for years and even continued there when I moved interstate as, based on previous bad experiences, I was too nervous to find another. Thankfully I made regular trips home to Adelaide to visit family and booked in a cut and colour each trip. When my sister with similar locks switched salons, it was easy for me to follow suit. "I need a cut and colour and I'd like you do cut me a fringe just the same as you did my little sis." I told Richard, the owner and wizard with the scissors. He's also a makeup artist and specialises in getting that colour just right for your skin tone. I loved the result and have been going there ever since. The salon is open and modern with floor to ceiling glass on three sides offering views into the mall, over the rear car park and to the street - not all that exciting in themselves, but when you're waiting for colour to process it's magic, any people-watching activity is entertaining. Richard's built a passionate and professional team. They all have a great attitude with a focus on giving you the style you want rather than encouraging you to try the latest trend. Although if you are into the very latest, I'm sure they are up to the challenge.. The crew have that special ability to fuss over you without fussing over you. If you cape has slipped, they discreetly fix it. They notice as soon as your coffee or wine glass is empty and offer you another. They'll chat if you seem interested, but will leave you in peace to your magazine if your interest in conversation wanes. I have trouble sitting still while waiting for the timer for my colour to 'ding', so often wander about the salon and sometimes into the mall. There are comfy, black lounges with a stack of magazines and a flat screen TV that helps to break up the monotony, but before I know it, I hear the telltale buzzer and I'm at the sinks having a wonderful head massage and feeling the stresses of my week wash away. I haven't had it done myself, but they do makeup too. I usually get my hair done midweek, but I have a friend who has gone in on a Saturday and witnessed a bridal group all having makeup and hair done for that important (and very busy day). Perhaps a one-stop shop for brides. There are a number of awards listed on the entrance, but I'm not all that fussed about that. Here, I feel welcomed, listened to and walk out feeling a million bucks. Can't ask for more than that.

There is ample car parking behind the salon so you don't have to risk your vehicle being sideswiped! Mantra is staffed by a young but experienced team of hairdressers. They are up to date with what's on trend and have never done a bad job with my hair. The best part? They charge fair prices! I literally pay 1/3 of what I used to pay when getting my hair done at a well known chain close to this particular salon - and I'm going by the prices my former stylist charged 2 YEARS ago. Be prepared that because they charge fair prices they will not spend a lot of time chit chatting with you and work quickly; as you can guess by now they are extremely busy on Saturdays!

They take the time to ask questions, preferred cuts or styles and they serve up an excellent plate of customer service here.

Customers look happy and contented. The stylists are always full of smiles and cheers. The Basin crew is known for their education programs. They recently held a cut and colour workshop in Port Augusta and have been known to provide styling services for photo shoots.

They talk to you about your hair, and take the time to get to know you and your hair. It's obvious from their responses that they're very knowledgeable. All the staff seem friendly in fact. Generally I do prefer people a little more down to earth and relaxed, but they're definitely friendly none the less. And they also write down what they've done with your hair each time, so you've got a good starting point when you come in next time, or when you need to see a different stylist if yours happens to be on leave. There are also nice touches, like when you have your hair washed, you sit in a massage chair, and in addition to the normal scalp massage, they also give you a neck massage, which is lovely. You're offered water, coffee, tea & juice, intermittently throughout. And if it's your first visit, you usually get a free gift of hair products. They're not cheap, but like many things in life, you get what you pay for. Overall a good experience.
