The team is beyond amazing, and their kindness, attention to detail, and warmth make every visit feel like self-care for your soul. Getting my haircut here is like therapy, so gentle, so relaxing, I almost fall asleep every time. It's not just about looking good when I leave (which I always do!), but about feeling good too. That's rare. I will never go anywhere else. This place is special, and the people here make it what it is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always making me feel seen, valued, and beautiful. I recommend this place with all my heart. Love you all!

I was offered wine or beer as I had a cut and colour, which came in at under $100. Most importantly, the cut was perfect.

The fact the Shibui walls are lined with photos of Neighbours cast members who have their hair done…read morethere is probably a good indication of the type of salon that lies therein. To put it plainly, Shibui is very, very "cool". And I do mean that like your mum would use it. The stylists are totally competent as are the colourists, but in the six months I was having my hair done here not once did I have anyone ask me where I got it done. Moreover, unless you're famous or under 22 the staff probably won't warm to you, remember you or give you any sort of service that makes you feel like anything other than a way to fill in their day between cigarettes. They're certainly not rude... but they're also not memorable. But that's okay, because neither are you ;)

When you move to a new city, it can be terrible to find a new hairdresser! I've recently found…read moremyself in this predicament, and got brave and tried a new place. I was drawn in by the online bookings & reasonable prices, and got super lucky when I found Kylie at Miss Gertrude! First of all, they treat you to coffee or tea upon arrival (yum!) and Kylie really listened to me and gave me the exact cut I was after. Now, i've had very short hair for a very long time, and it is obvious when someone doesn't quite know what they're doing with my hair. In fact, I got my hair cut at a beauty school/training place for a few years, so I know what a bad cut looks like! Kylie gave me a technically excellent haircut, and what's more, she books in complimentary tidy-up appointments after three weeks. Highly recommended.

I am a very fussy customer.

I've traveled the world and this was one of the best most well rounded experiences I have had at a salon. Aesthetically, the space is fantastic. Excellent design, modern but inviting, and everyone is incredibly friendly and genuine. Added to this the level of tailored professionalism by my stylist- Giovanni, Ugh- I can't recommend this salon enough! I'll be going back for sure and I highly recommend that you go to Miss Gertrude for all of your hair needs! (Giovanni is exceptional)

I stopped by here two days ago to make a spontaneous appointment. I really wanted to get my roots…read moredone & freshen up my hair for the holidays! Melissa greeted me & helped me set an appt. I let her know what I needed to get done, and she recommended Yumi, an Advanced Senior Stylist. I understand that getting hair done in another country can be tricky, especially if you don't know the stylists. But as this is right by Myers on Level 1 of the Emporium, and it is a Paris-based salon, I figured I would gamble with the French. As I had a longer appointment, it required a $90 deposit that would be non-refundable if canceled. I arrived today and was swiftly greeted by Yumi. She offered me tea or coffee and brought it to me right away. She then met with me to discuss my hair and needs. She brought out the color book and talked to me about toning colors along with matching colors for my roots. She also took the time to look at my base color and we mutually agreed on mixing two tones to help replicate color. I was super tired having been running around all day. I was not in the mood to talk and enjoyed my mini nap while Yumi worked on my hair. She was very patient and respected my space and need for rest. Plus it always feels good to get your hair done- sort of a meditative process, if you will. She let me know when I would be done with the foils and base coloring and how much time it would be till wash and rinse with the toner. When it came time to take out my alien foils out and wash my hair and apply toner, she gave me a lovely massage around my hair line and neck etc to help round out the process. Yumi was super profesional with me, and afterwards she helped me take photos of my hair. I think most Aussies use Google Reviews, but I let her know there is a population of us travelers who do use Yelp and want to provide feedback. As I didn't know their address, she gave me this pamphlet that had their hours and address. I then logged onto Yelp and saw someone else had added them but did not have a good experience. All I can say is that all of the staff were pleasant to me and treated me nicely from booking to finish. I super love my hair and normally would not let anyone else touch my hair as I have seen the same stylist for over a decade. But sometimes in life it is good to shake things up a bit and nothing matches that elation you get when you walk away with fresh looking hair that makes you feel like a model. Even just for a day! Thank you Yumi and all the staff. Ps their hours are: Mon-Wed And Sat 10:00-7:00pm Thursday 10:00am-8:00pm Friday 10:00am-9:00pm Sunday 10:00am-6:00pm I think it is awesome they have longer hours for both Thursday and Friday evenings to accommodate people getting ready to go out and /or those with different work shifts. Sure it is pricier than what I pay in the US, but at the end of the day, you do get what you pay for and no one wants orange hair when getting highlights lol. Give Yumi a try, and she will help you look amazing!

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.

I was recommended Aeri through a friend so decided to give it a go after checking out her instagram post. I popped in the day and Aeri was great! She sat me down and talked me through the process of balyage and we chose a few colours that would suit. I was provided guidance around hair bleaching. I chose to bleach once as this would take only 4 hours ( and about $75 cheaper too!) and confirmed the price also so there were no suprises. I popped in the next day and i was met with two of Aeri's assistants who got me prepped for my cut and colour. Throughout the haircolour, staff continually checked with me to make sure I was ok as well as being offered water, chips and chocolates (I had bought in my own softdrink). I have had disasters before where the hairdressers could not control nor properly colour my thick course hair so I have found it challenging. I was very satisfied with both the colour & the cut and we even completed everything in the 4 hour window too!
