I got a haircut on George St. and didn't like it, and he was able to fix it. Gus was humble & checked in with his trainer for a 2nd opinion throughout the cut and very friendly and thoughtful. He said he loves making people beautiful, and that was very obvious by the end. I love my hair & thoroughly enjoyed the pampering. The head massage given during the hair wash was also a huge plus. I decided to lounge the rest of the day at an outdoor cafe to further show off my beautiful cut & style. The salon is very clean, organized, has an outdoor patio, serves wine, and there was a cute dog roaming around, just like the reviews said. The hair wash stations are also dual massage chairs. A really great atmosphere & experience! Would definitely go back, even for just a blow out.

You know the ones who shove you in a chair, choke you with an apron, spray you with a gallon of water, chop at your hair and throw you out on the street. Not here. Here I felt like a Royal. They took my coat and bag, dressed me (actually dressed me) in an apron and did magic on my hair. My hairdressers name was Paul. He took me through everything while he cut and styled my hair. He told me how to style my new messy concave bob and whilst I will NEVER be able to style it like he did, I highly appreciated the demonstrations he took me through. It is a little bit pricey but they use good products and the service is 5

Cuts can tend to be fairly hit and miss and the stylists don't always listen to what you want. They use to have a guy working there years ago called Poppy who did brilliant and stylish cuts, but I don't know where he's gone. Nancy (style director) gives pretty good cuts and the odd great cut, but they usually need a few days to settle in. Recently I went all out and saw the Art Director and I'm less than impressed - likely to the point of not returning. At $114 bucks to see the Art Director, I walked out thinking it was the *worst* haircut I've had in years (but after a few days of settling in, it's OK, but not brilliant - and definitely not what I asked for). And I doubt the cuts are worth the $100+ price tag. Overall I would have given this place 4 stars had it not been for my last experience, but that's what you get. Hit and Miss.

I was happy with the service and the stylist seemed sincerely concerned about my hair growth. I was stressing that my hair is not growing at a regular pace and she was determined that if she continued to cut my hair that it would definitely grow quicker. That's a pretty big promise to make. But she was very convincing. The salon is small and they are known as the best eye-brow shapers in Sydney, or at least they advertise to be. I didn't have time to try that service too. There is a cute dog that runs around the salon - it is not big and does not bark much.

My Valentines present from my partner was to get my hair coloured from brunette to blonde. After…read morebooking with another salon, I found a voucher on a daily deals website for a full head of foils, cut & blow-dry at Paris Pearl. I thought ''excellent! Save half the cost'' On the night of the appointment I went in with my boyfriend and showed the hairdresser a photo of me a few years back on what colour blonde I wanted. She said that's fine, a bit of my darker colour would come through though. I was ok with this. 3 hours later at 9pm and I was all done. After we left, my boyfriend said he expected a lot blonder than what I got. The next day in the natural light I was very disappointed with the result. The shade of blonde I had was no-where near the shade of blonde in the photo that I was expecting. At work, one of my colleagues lifted my hair & said that you could see the horizontal stripes where the foils were, it looked all over very stripey & I should go back. On Saturday I consulted with a hairdresser in the original salon I booked, and she suggested I go back & ask them to fix it, she said the same thing, that it was very stripey & blotches of blonde everywhere when I put my hair back & the foils had ''bled' because they were put too close to the scalp. My boyfriend & I went back to Paris Pearl & spoke to the girl who did my hair. I told her I wasn't happy with the end result, and showed her the photo that I showed her on the night of the booking. She explained that as I had a boxed colour in my hair, this would involve a colour correction (which she did not mention on the night of the appointment) and it would require two tone foils which she said was not part of the offer. (The voucher T&C's did not mention anything about only one tone allowed). She was worried that since my hair was so thin, putting a bleach blonde colour in and that I had a boxed colour in my hair, if she did the shade I requested my hair would snap off to about 5cm in length. I WAS NOT ADVISED ANY OF THIS ON THE NIGHT OF MY BOOKING There was another hairdresser there, who took photo's of my hair, both with it down, and pulled back. My boyfriend pulled a section of my hair back to assist with the photo's. My hairdresser said she could not make any decisions on what the resolution would be, she would have to speak to her manager. I left my contact details & we left the salon. About half an hour later, on Saturday afternoon I got a call from the manager. She introduced herself & said ''I understand there was a song & dance this morning about your hair colour'' I replied ''well not really a song & dance, I am just not happy with the result of my hair'' and begun to explain the situation. She then went on the rattle off a whole heap of statistics on how many of these deal vouchers they do, other statistics about the salon. She then said that my boyfriend was pushing my hair around pointing out what was wrong with the colour. I corrected her, that he merely lifted a section of my hair to get a good shot when the girl was taking photo's. She then proceeded to say to me ''maybe you were listening to the opinion of your boyfriend instead of your own opinion. Whatever you have going on between the two of you is your business'' Needless to say I was shocked, insulted & appalled on a personal attack on myself & my boyfriend! The phone conversation continued very one sided, with the manager offering me a full refund straight away without an offer to fix my hair. She continued to talk over me whenever I tried to say something, saying that they had won multiple awards & are a very community based business. She said that there is a cheque waiting at reception for me for a full refund & that was the end of the discussion. She said goodbye before I could say anything. We went back to the salon straight away to collect the refund check. As soon as we arrived, the manager came out, as well as the 2 hairdressers we spoke to earlier that day, as well as the managers son. We felt like this was an intimidation tactic incase we made any trouble!! Whilst she was writing the check, she looked at my hair (which was pulled back showing the terrible stripes) and shook her head. Whether that was in disbelief that I had the nerve to complain, or in disbelief that such a bad job had been done. Needless to say I will NEVER recommend PARIS PEARL to anyone who asks, and by the ''service'' I received by the manager because shock! Horror! I decided to speak up, I urge anyone to steer clear.

But I think I've found my regular local salon in Oscar Oscar, Paddington. I've been coming here for a while now ever since it started off as Synergy in Darlinghurst and I've haven't had a bad haircut yet (fingers crossed). The colourists are all very knowledgeable and seem to know exactly what I want. Also the stylists have the same experience and provide recommendations on the perfect balance between funky and ok to present to the office. However I have seen customers with some crazy haircuts which i wish I had the guts to get away with. Hence I think the salon caters for everybody from the polished office professional to the funky Surry Hills artist. The staff are friendly and I love the herbal tea they present you with when you sit down. The waiting time is usually short unless they are overly busy (I've waited much longer at other salons). The rapport they have with clients can be described as "eastern-suburbs" if you know what I mean, but they are not snobby or condescending. Don't you hate it when you go to an up-market hairdresser and they act that way? I've had that experience before but I haven't had one at Oscar Oscar. Definitely recommend :)
