But at Aria, which I found out about through a friend's recommendation, I decided to give it a shot. This Japanese hair salon is in the CBD and keeps their clients happy and their hairdressers relatively busy. I've now been there twice: each visit with a different hairdresser and have come out a happy camper. The second time around, I knew I could just pick up one of the magazines and point at it and let the stylist know what I was looking for. Taka, who is a manager stylist and unfortunately has moved up to Brisbane, takes great care when snipping away. You're definitely safer off with a manager stylist, which is worth the extra cost as the prices there are rather wallet-friendly. Customer service there is fantastic! It probably has a lot to do with the (Japanese) culture but from the point of entering ("Konichiwa!!") until when they see you off at the door, they're there mindfully doing their job well. Also, they've got promos like "happy hour" where it's 20% off M-F before noon and others that are released through their newsletters, as well as others like friend referrals. I highly recommend Aria salon if you're looking to get a good haircut, at great value, and fabulous service!

The owners Leigh and Dabien are the sweetest people ever and make every trip an asbolute scream. All the hairdressers are super lovely and you get a 5 star feeling when you go in for your treatment. As a blonde with foils, I struggle to find somebody who can get the colour just right and do foils so well, but Leigh kicks over any others I have had touch my hair before. My sister now goes here too and loves Ellie. And we used them all for both of our weddings and everybody commented on our hair. I reccomend this place until the cows come home. Champagne, beer, hot chocolate coffee ... you name it! And reasonably priced for a 5 star hairdresser.

There have been times when I have emerged from an establishment and wanted to cry and wear a paper bag. A gal's hair is after all, her crowning glory. I was certainly gun-shy until I found Marc of Marc James Hairdressing. He listened, really listened. Together we agreed on a plan and Marc stuck to it without hacking away too many precious centimeters. For the first time in many years I left a salon feeling happy and glam - Marc is a hair guru. The icing on the cake is that this salon is very reasonably priced - a six weekly visit is not going to see you penniless. Unlike most salons who slap on various surcharges for long hair, this team operate in the real world and charge very fair prices. The ambiance and decor is Parisian chic with a classical feel - it is simply a beautiful space with an elegant vibe. The shampoo chairs are like uber comfy lazyboys, ensuring you won't lock into spasms by the time your wash is over. To top off your experience, they offer a decent range of beverages to enjoy while you are pampered (including a darned great coffee brewed as it should be). I found this salon through word-of-mouth and in the tradition of 'pay it forward' I have sent many of my clients to Marc James. Every single one of them were as thrilled as I was. Be sure to book in advance as Marc is understandably popular.

I found this little beauty salon and hair dressers through a Scoopon. What a find! Rani, the…read moreowner, is a truly delightful lady who was the first person to introduce threading to Australia. I'd never tried it, and I can tell you waxing your eyebrows doesn't even come close. Apparently when you wax you still often leave the root of the hair in the skin so the regrowth is quicker. Threading is also heaps more precise than waxing, I've never had eyebrows like this. They also do the full range of beauty treatments at very reasonable prices (including super cheap waxing), and Rani is amazing at fitting you in for last minute appointments. I don't think I'll ever go to another salon when I've got Kelvin Grove Hair and Beauty.

Rani, the owner of this salon, is one of the best and most professional beauticians i've ever used…read more I go regularly for a full body wax every four weeks, and I've never thought of going anywhere else. She uses threading on my face and eyebrows, and I don't even have to pluck between monthly sessions. Her threading technique is incredibly precise, and as a person with fairly thick eyebrow hair, the precision is invaluable. Rani is friendly, and has become a really good friend over the years I've been coming to her for waxing. I can trust her, and that's not really something you always find at a beauty salon. She's always more than willing to reshuffle her schedule to fit in an emergency appointment, and even when she's really busy she manages to me through in perfect time. If Rani ever left Kelvin Grove I would be sure to follow her wherever she went. She's that good.

And today, that identity was all but shaved off. Let me start by saying this. The hairdresser was absolutely lovely. I only have nice things to say about her personally. I went into HMDisco with long hair (about shoulder length, kinda 80s Big Hair Vibes - think Bon Jovi/Guns n Roses). I asked for layers, so that I could get more 'action' out of my hair, as it was similar length and becoming difficult for me to work with. I asked for layers / 'bon jovi' vibes. I walked out with my hair above my ears... It's now going to take me 12-18months to grow this back. It's put me in an undesirable position, as I have some big marketing/promotional videos coming up. Worst of all, I walked in loving my hair, wanting to improve it. And, I walked out wanting to put a hat on. I can't express how much I hate leaving negative reviews, but I was also incredibly disappointed.

When I try to think of words to describe how skilled the guys here are all that comes out are noises, like oooooooooooooh and whoooooa... It gets weird.

Best colour and cuts you can get in Brissy and everyone here is so talented and lovely. I always feel so welcome and valued when I visit. They book out really quickly so make sure you call up with plenty of notice.

I was in desperate need of a cut, i had a bad cut and the got another elsewhere to fix it. I returned to the second because the cut was crooked. It still looked ridiculous so I just wore my hair up for a week. One rainy day while driving home I remembered Em. The traffic was really bad so I was able to grab their phone number off the window while stuck in a jam. I called and they had a spot then and there. It must have been fate! Mandy touches your hair and knows how to cut it. She is a hair magician. She costs more than some other places but it is money well spent.
