I've been going to this Toni & Guy for about five years. I was really sad when the previous owner,…read moreMelvin, moved back to Singapore but the English guys who have taken it over in his wake are doing a really great job. The service is friendly, the cuts are great and there is, of course, always that offer of a drink with your cut. Once when I was getting my hair cut, a man came in off the street to ask about prices. When he was given the list, he started laughing and said, "Yeah, good luck getting people to pay that for a cut!" Sure, the cuts are at salon prices, so might be a bit out of people's budget, but I think they're probably one of the more reasonable ranges on the market (depending on level of stylist you choose) - and I have always felt that I have gotten my money's worth. Finally, I've had my most positive client-hairdresser relationships here, and that is the second most important thing I look for in a salon.

Terrible. When I made my booking I was told that only an Art Director was available (at $112 for a…read morehaircut). I decided to spoil myself so booked in. Upon arrival I was made to wait half an hour, while one staff member lazily swept up hair and the hairdresser ignored me. I used the bathroom during this time and found there was no soap. They had not just run out - there actually wasn't a soap dispenser there at all! What are they washing their hands with before touching my hair? Eventually I was called for my appointment. The 'Art Director' washed my hair and spent the entire time trying to sell me shampoo and conditioner at $60 each, and then spent about 15 minutes cutting my hair, all the while trying to sell me styling products and a hairbrush. She then told me she was late for her next client and called an assistant over to blow dry my hair. I requested a centre-parting with loose beachy waves - I got a deep side parting with strange tight ringlets bordering on dreadlocks. $112? Seriously? Don't waste your time and money - there are far superior salons in St Kilda.

It's Melbourne cup day 2013, and this is essentially the only…read morehairdresser/ barber shop that seems to be open in Melbourne. Every one else has insisted on being close. I'll admit, this sits at the higher end of hairdresser salons. I'm pretty confident that this is usually a bookings only type deal, but at the same time, the hairdressers are quite skilled at their craft. Even so, I got a reasonably priced haircut, and got the shampoo treatment which was quite nice indeed. There was a sole hairdresser on shift on this day, but she did a great job, never getting flustered or rushing and treating customers very well. It was much better than the queue up, "next please, next please," type of super busy place. Lou Salon was not something I was looking for, but it was a worthy find.

I went in for a cut and colour, and left dissatisfied with the results of both. The colour matching wasn't right (too much red and not enough brown), and the cut was shorter than I asked for. It was also really expensive and not worth it at that price - I could have gone to another salon with a regular stylist, for a better result.

Absolutely appaulling. The "makeover package" includes…read more *A full head of extensions applied with your choice of application method *Color makeover *Cut *Treatment *Style *Shampoo and Conditioner to take home. FIRSTLY. I drove three hours and hurried to my appointment, to finally get there and wait half an hour for the hairdresser to arrive. Salon was atrocious. Absolute filth. Other people's hair all through the seat I was sitting on, dirty benches and other people's hair and hair products all through the combs. SECONDLY I showed them a photo of what I wanted, which consisted of a nice brown and blonde balayage, with dark brown at the top with lights through the natural brown to blend into a nice ash blonde at the ends. They insisted they didn't need to color my hair, even though it was a part of the package, I thought, well if they're charging $650 they must be good and know their stuff right? Wrong. You know you're in trouble when you request your own hair cut and the hairdresser insists "no, ratty hair blends better with extensions".. So maybe it does but I've never met a GOOD hairdresser that would refuse to cut your split ends. Cut them, but use your skills to blend it maybe? Too hard. They'd rather sit on the computer and online shop while drinking energy drinks and chatting amongst themselves. THIRD They washed and blow dryed my hair, and eventually put the extensions in. Half way through with a mullet hanging off the back of my head I'm informed I'm going to need to pay extra for more extensions to make them look "perfect", how much extra will it cost? An extra $60. Yeah because I havent received half the package I've paid for and you're going to rob me more money otherwise I walk out of there with a mullet on the day of my going away party. Nice! I was told I would need to straighten my natural hair and curl the fake hair to make it blend. If you're paying $650 you want to be able to wear it straight or however and have it blend! FOURTH I was not shown the back of my head before I left. Normal hairdressers pull their mirror out, show you the back and ask If you're happy. Not this one. More concerned about getting an after photo, which didn't make it to the instagram page like most of the other disastrous "makeovers" I assume. I was only shown the front which looked okay when I left. It wasn't what I walked in there hoping for but it was just okay. FIFTH I arrive to my going away party, about 30 of my 70 guests point out my hairs not really blended, with a few even thinking I brought synthetic blonde extensions off ebay and throwing them in my near black hair. someone even took a photo to show me how bad it was, which I will upload. SIXTH I message the Facebook page to explain my situation where I'm left with no reply. I explained my situation and asked for a solution and it wasn't delivered. I called the Brisbane salon (as I'm moving interstate in 2 days) to explain my situation, emailed photos through as requested and no response. I had to call them back days later to chase it up. Finally, after a week of wearing these embarrassing hair extensions I'm getting them fixed, yay! Arrive at the Brisbane salon, wait another half an hour to be seen. Hair dresser had a better attitude this time and was a lot more helpful in fixing my hair by adding extra darker brown extensions. Although it made it look better, it still wasn't what I had in mind when I walked into the south Yarra salon a week beforehand. Fast forward a week and the extensions are starting to go ratty. Very ratty. They look cheap and nasty. I have had microbead extensions for $100 of eBay and they were alot nicer and lasted longer than these. Which brings me to point SEVEN Hair looked nice curled after I got it fixed, but straight it again just looked like I had chunky blonde streaks through my hair, so down to chemist to get 2 packets of dark brown hair dye I go. After an hour and a half my hair finally looks nice! It's finally blended. But, I can now see synthetic stands that didn't pick up the dye. Lovely. All up I paid, $710 for the "makeover package" of which I only received half of, including shitty synthetic hair $40 fuel Money to go to Brisbane to get the hair fixed $30 on hairdye to fix it myself =$780 dollars for what ended up being dark brown extensions, which, according to their generic text message today, is on sale for $399! Awesome. Will never recommend kiki to anyone. I want my money back.

It is located right next to the main Knoxfield shopping strip and the shops around it are nowhere near it in terms of professionalism or presentation. The salon itself has a beautiful fragrant aroma that is pleasant from the moment you step in to the moment you leave. The staff are really attentive and will greet you promptly after entering. They run on appointment only but always seem to have a space free. They are easy to talk to as well. The last time I went I got a general trim. I have medium length hair and a full fringe and so it was a decent amount of cutting. My hair was washed, cut and blow dried to my specifications exactly and I even got a little head massage during the hair washing stage. It felt so good I would have paid extra for them to keep going! That cost me $55, which is a lot more than I usually pay but the quality was really good and I left feeling quite pampered. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a new hairdresser. The whole salon is clean and fresh and the atmosphere is really relaxed. They don't overbook and the place is never noisy. Give them a go.

I always feel like a million bucks when walking out which is exactly what you want in a hairdresser. They use Aveda dyes, which are mostly natural and don't dry out my hair. They fade nicely too so there's none of that embarrassing root regrowth. I like that I'm not sitting around for hours on end and can get my cut, colour and style done in under two hours. That includes endless cups of nice tea, little dried fruit snacks and the luxury of a shoulder and hand massage! Nice!
