I came to this salon to get my hair dyed this ashy greige brown colour and it ended up terribly. I was originally quoted the price of $300 and this was discussed on Facebook a week before my appointment, on the day I arrived to get my hair done the price suddenly changed to $500? I had high hopes for this hair salon and I was brought nothing but absolute disappointment and TERRIBLE hair. I started off with brown thick and course hair and I was left with thin damaged and broken hair. Not to mention it was no where close to brown, they dyed my hair blonde?? Not to mention the customer service is HORRIBLE. I got my mother to contact the owner of the salon and he is terrible at negotiating a solution for my hair. They offered to redo my hair colour buy do you really think my hair can take anymore bleaching?? My mother asked if they can just dye my hair black to cover the damage and the owner seems to have a lot of difficulty with replying consistently. I got my hair dyed on the 4th of November, it is now the 18th of December and my mother and owner have still been negotiating since then. This salon REFUSES to refund my $500 and isnt offering a treatment for my extremely damaged hair even though I said I'm willing to wait a few months till it's safe to get a japanese hair treatment. the amount of fuss that has come out of this hair salon is insane, I have spent so much money trying to cover the irreversible damage their work has done to my hair. I'm extremely disappointed with this hair salon's work to my hair, their irresponsible customer service, and their employees. Do NOT come to this salon. read more

Oh Kim's Beauty Shop - We have been here for 11years as unique shop specialized in Japanese straightening in Adelaide. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Adelaide, SA

Oh Kim's is truly my saving grace here in Adelaide. As a person with asian hair (I am asian, therefore I have asian hair) I have found it so difficult to find a hair dresser that could cut my hair EXACTLY the way I wanted it... until I discovered Oh Kim's, or more like, until Oh Kim's was introduced to me. I put out a facebook call out to my friends to recommend a hairdresser to me that could cut asian hair and their name kept coming up. Getting the thumbs up from Japanese, Korean and Indonesian friends, I figured it would be worth a shot and it was the best $15 I ever spent on a haircut. That's another thing I have to commend them on. They don't charge through the roof for the haircuts but the quality of the service they deliver is excellent. They are a Korean hair salon, and some of the staff there don't speak great english. That said though, it's pretty easy to communicate that you want a haircut and once you've selected a hairstyle from their collection of magazines, you'll be on your way. I almost cried with joy when I put my glasses on, looked in the mirror and saw that the girl had cut my hair exactly as the picture I had chosen. From my understanding as well, she wasn't even the most senior hairdresser there, which says alot for the level of their skill. Now I might be exaggerating a little bit ( I definitely am ) but I am just so pleased that I found this place that I want the whole world to know just how happy I am. Like most great finds in adelaide, they aren't always the easiest to spot from the road. If you head west down Grote Street towards Morphett Street on the right side of the road, you'll see their sign that has a smiley face on it on the side walk. Outside their shop you'll see pictures of models (mostly women) showing off different hairstyles. Though its normally ok to just walk in and make an appointment, it's better to call earlier in order to make a booking just in case because there are days when they are completely flat out. Really affordable, friendly staff and great hair cuts. That's all I ask from a hair dresser and OH KIM, you have definitely delivered. I love you, its true. read more

Seriously? I'm not a usual winging customer and moreover I usually don't leave the reviews, but this time I thought I take time and leave a review. I've just paid $40 for literally dry (!!!) haircut which is not even straight! For background, I am blond European-looking girl with thin long hair. And it is first time in my life I got a dry haircut!!! I've asked a woman (who doesn't speak proper English) if she'd like to wash my hair, she said no need and then I asked her if she at least wants to spray them, she said there is no need as well (the alarm should be flashing here now, but I decided to proceed). She explained that she cuts the hair dry first and then Irons it to check if anything needs to be fixed. I've asked why just not make it wet and cut straight (especially assuming she wanted to iron my hair without any protection and my hair is already damaged due to multiple times it has been died). Anyway, paid $40 for no blow dry, no wash...just very ugly unprofessional cut. This place might suit for asians, but not for caucasians. They saw how much I was disappointed with the cut but kept on smiling and got my money. WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN. read more

Excellent service wonderful products. Their service really improved the condition of my hair! read more

I've only been to Oh Kim's once but I'm pretty sure I would come back in the future. The service was good. All the staffs are friendly and helpful. The only minus was their English wasn't very good. However if you already have a photo of the haircut that you want, they wouldn't disappoint you. Else, they have a wide range of hair catalog (most of them was japanese) for you to choose from. Give them a call to book in the morning and you can have your hair done in the afternoon. :D Oh and did I mention the price ? $20 for a girl haircut which was the cheapest I've ever paid for a haircut since I got here. read more

They ruin my hair!! The hairdresser keep saying "ok ok ok" when I was telling him how I like my hair cut. But he ignored everything I said and ruin my hair. NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN! read more

Very happy, fit us in quickly and excellent service for a cheap price. We will come back again

This is an Korean-run hair salon within walking distance from the Adelaide CBD, close to the Adelaide Markets. I am always apprehensive when going to a new hairdresser, but with having just moved to the city I decided to give them a shot. I was pleased with their service, and Jenny was able to give a nice, quick cut that looked pretty much the same as my previous one since I showed her a picture of my previous cut on my phone. They do have Japanese hair catalogs in the waiting area, which can also help with choosing a style, and their staff seem very skilled and well-trained to cater for a wide variety of styles. I can't really compare them to other places in the area, but I think for the price of $20, this was a good experience. I will happily go back there for my next cut. --Edit-- I have visited a second time, and I must say I was not as impressed as last time. I guess I went at a busy time of day, but the place was overcrowded and the service was rather impersonal. I was also not as satisfied with the cut (from a different stylist) this time. I guess one cannot complain for $20, but I will try other places in the area as well. read more

I had my first haircut at Oh kim's. It was quite bad, showed the hairdresser the picture of haircut I wanted, it turned out to be totally different. I had to have another haircut a week later somewhere else just to fix it. It was totally a waste of time and money. I definitely won't go back there again. read more

I was in Adelaide for a few days with my parents, and in desperate need of a haircut. Yelp led me to Oh Kim's Beauty Shop, and it was honestly the best haircut I've ever received. While many in the shop do not speak English, they have detailed books with photos of haircuts, most of which show front, back, and side views. Shannon cut my hair quickly and with great expertise. I have never been one to frequent a certain shop because of the stylist there, but I would honestly consider making her my go-to stylist--if only I lived in Adelaide! read more

If you're a student and can't afford $80 for a haircut this place is for you. The staff are friendly and professional. I told them what I wanted and I got it. Super satisfied with my haircut. read more

Went online and chose to go to Kim's based on the reviews. My first experience was horrible! Unbelievably long wait despite making an appointment. And the worst is the haircut...honestly, this is the worst haircut I have ever got in my life! Never going there again and would not recommend to anyone. read more

I have been a regular customer of oh kims for years,however since their change of ownership the standards of their hairdressers have decreased dramatically. I am a female with long hair and just require a regular straight trim, but it is never a straight cut and they try to hide it by curling the ends in after a cut. I have also had my hair dyed several times here before and it really depends on which hairdresser you get as it was lighter in some bits at times and sometimes they redye only the roots and sometimes they redye the whole head. Yesterday i took my husband to get a style cut and the haircut looked nothing like the photo at all. He is a professional and cannot afford to go to work with this ridiculous haircut. After trying to complain to them, with their little english they tried to tell us that he needed to grow his hair a bit longer before they could achieve the style. Well they could have told us this BEFORE the haircut as he looks like a grown man with a childs bowl haircut ( for some strange reason she undercutted his entire head of hair and shaved it short except for the top) and now he has to go to work without anything to cover it until it grows out. Quite frankly we didn't have to pay for this haircut but we were too nice. I have been a regular here for years and years but I vowe to never come back here again. I highly doubt that these hairdressers have any formal qualifications. read more

I've been searching for salons to fix my hair, it was just messy. I found Oh Kim and went there with appointment beforehand. I let the hairdresser saw the pic of haircut that I want, aside from strengthening treatment. She did the hair cut nicely. The staffs are very friendly, one of them even took care of my baby when he cried and I couldn't go around (because of my ongoing treatment). The price is average. I will consider to come back again. read more

Disappointed and upset I specifically told the lady I wanted to keep the length and just add a little bit more of texture and layers. I even showed her a picture, she gave it a glimpse and acted like she knew what's going on and got it all. I do not know if it's because I am a guy with long hair, the lady only took about 10, 20 cuts or so, last for about 3 min, to completely wreck my hair, made my hair came out short-ish and thin, made it looked like I had been losing hair or something. And then charged me $25. I felt humiliated and embarrassed. I'd give it another 6 months to look ok again. :( Extremely unhappy!!!!!!! read more

I got my hair permanently straightened on Saturday and I am not happy with the terrible service I got! The process of the treatment was meant to take no more than 3.5 hours but it took them 5.5 hours to do my hair!! Simply because they were trying to fit other customers and so I was last priority to them where I was left sitting for an hour with washed damp hair!! I told them to hurry up and blow dry my hair as I parked at the Central Market Parking and it ended up costing me $30 for the park when it should have been $15 for the 3.5hours. Not just that, when i had to go up to pay they made me go next door to withdraw money which incurred a surcharge when they lied about the EFPOS machine wasnt working so that they didnt have to pay a fee at the bank! I do not recommend this place, and will never come here again!!! read more

For the first time I found a hairdresser that listen to me and what I want. I really love my new haircut and the style. Really fast too. I will definitely come back. read more

Can't recommend this place. The guy was competent but the haircut didn't look good. I will be getting another haircut to fix it. And the service was woeful. There are lots of similar places nearby that are rated highly. I recommend trying one of them. read more

Awesome customer services!! The hairdressers are absolutely professional and know what they are doing. If you guys don't want to wait, better make a reserve a night before. read more

I loved the way they work the hair. they know just how to get it excited. Great customer service and even

Staff were polite and helpful but skills were so disappointing although they've tried hard and was in best effort (I think) but still wasn't the outcome I am looking for. Have been to much better hairdressers which would make you feel worth it and great about yourself after the cut, not this time.. read more

Worst hair dresser ever to me!!! Cut too much too short. I'm not happy at all. The hair dresser should have confirmed me how much she was going to cut!! It's simple!!! No communication skills at all.its Korean hair salon but its not the language problem!! Just need to ask customers its ok to cut!! Minus 10000000000000 stars!!!!! I don't recommend at all. read more
