Tara Maree Hair operates as a freelance hairstylist out of the Ambo Ars salon in Newtown. I knew of…read moreTara and tried her skills while she was still an apprentice and from there we became really good friends. You won't be able to help becoming friends with her because she is the most cheery, colourful and interesting hairstylist you'll find. Over the couple of years that Tara has been doing my hair we've taken it from bright orange to blonde to orange with a fade to blonde then orange with a fade to pink then highlighter pink then peach then back to blonde. Admittedly, I'm one of the lucky ones whose hair will give back colour without needing to use really strong, damaging products but Tara was always honest with me. If she didn't think that my hair was healthy enough to do something I wanted then she would tell me and recommend products to use that would get my hair back to good health. You always want a hairstylist that isn't going to compromise the health of your hair to give you what you're asking for but will offer some great alternatives. If you're looking for a hairdresser in the Inner West, whether for a run of the mill cut or a wild alternative look, then definitely give Tara a try. I actually haven't been to another hairdresser since I moved interstate in February because I haven't come to grips with trusting someone else with my hair!

My husband bought me a Groupon for this hair salon where I was able to get color and a cut for $89…read more After finding out the prices of hair salons in Sydney I thought it was a terrific offer. I need to clarify that this was my first time getting my hair done here in Australia, as I have just moved from Chicago, and we all hate moving salons. My appointment was at 1:30 so I arrived promptly at 1:25 and informed the hairdresser I had arrived. They brought me to a chair and asked me if I wanted water (which I accepted) and then left me. No introduction to the salon, or who would be taking care of my hair. I sat, (without a "hello" or "so and so" will be with you soon) for about 20 minutes. After that time someone finally came over and informed me she would go mix my colour. Again, no introduction (Still didn't know her name). I stopped her to explain my situation - that I was looking for change. I have been platinum blonde for too long and needed some depth. So, finally she left which was again, another 10 mins or so and came back. The entire time she was foiling me she seemed really put off that I was there. In fact, I would go as far as to say nervous maybe? No smile. I started trying to make small talk to no avail. After my hair had processed and had been cleaned I was walked over to another young girl (I think around 23) and started with the cut. I have been taking care of my hair for a long time, even told by stylists for many years that my hair takes really well to color/bleach without damage. You can imagine my surprise when this young girl turns to me and chastised me for getting highlights. Told me that my hair was in very poor condition and that I was basically an imbecile. I'm sure she was trying to be nice, or asserting her knowledge of hair... But I have worked in salons many times and I know my way around damage. is this review turning into a rant? Looks like it. Lets just say that I won't be going back here. I left feeling extremely anxious and longing for my old salon where I always felt pampered and taken care of. This Groupon failed miserably and I hate my cut. BTW - who still feather face frames these days?!

For the money I was paying I thought that getting what I asked for would have been nice. Alternatively they are usually pretty good if you walk in off the street and ask for a simple cut or colour. Freestyle is usually pretty good as well. If you want anything specific maybe try re-iterating a few times to make sure they understand exactly what you want and make sure you get it. Saves you from walking out with a $300 dollar hair do and it not being what you wanted or asked for in the first place and being hit with the sad.

I couldn't even brush through it, tried using multiple conditioners from the drug store and nothing worked. I called Sasuke Hair Studio and they were able to accommodate me almost immediately- told me to come in in an hour! My flight was leaving to go back to America that night so I was very grateful they could get me in so quickly! I walked there from my hotel in downtown Sydney. It was only $45 for a deep conditioning treatment. Worth absolutely every penny. My hair smelled so good and came out absolutely amazing. It was sooo relaxing. The staff is absolutely wonderful. And the place is hip and chic. Highly recommend coming here! They will take care of you.

You won't be disappointed.

So last week I popped in for a quick trim, and long-winded gossip session. Besides a few new faces, nothing has changed. Michael's is still is still a great salon, offering good value and a fun follicle experience. I've only ever had my hair cut by Michael, but from what I have seen, the other stylists are more than capable, and work hard to ensure you receive the results you want. If you're looking for an affordable salon that offers exceptional customer service, Michael's is where you want to be.

There are a variety of mixed opinions on this salon; I shall start by giving you mine but not…read moreskimping out on what I've heard on the street. Before my friend became a hairdresser and I became her regular, I always came to Busby. I probably started going there when I was about 14 and they always treated me with the utmost respect, even when I came in on my own. I would ask them to skip all the fancy stuff, like blow-drying, because I couldn't afford it at that age but they would often throw it in for free anyway. They always listened very carefully to what I wanted and would help me find the perfect color. However, pretty much every time I was there so was the owner, Tim Findon. He is pretty much the brains and artist behind the salon and many people say that when he is not there everything goes to shit. He travels a lot so it's no guarantee that he will be there so I guess it's a risk. Personally, I have never had a bad experience there. It can be a bit pricey at times but that's the price for well-trained hairdressers.

Such a blessing to:…read more a) Find parking on Crown st in front of the salon b) be a walk in 1st time client and have someone cancel their appointment so I could jump right in c) Get a hairdresser named "Nathan" After a $450 mess of a job at Tony & Guy Crown street 6 weeks prior, Nathan was able to highlight and low-light my hair like a rockstar. And the price? Well a quarter of the price Tony and Guy requested -(of course I didn't pay $450 at T & G, they found a way to change that bill. Come on now T & G. If it was Mr Tony or Mr Guy doing my hair, then I would pay $450. PLEASE!!) Finally you can see the contrast in my blonde hair, and it doesn't look like I did it myself! Amazing result! Knowledgeable and experienced, Nathan is the full package. 10/10 for this fab salon. Nathan was amazing, however you could see everyone here knew what they were doing. I will return here.
