Colour of Cotton is operated by a single hairdresser, Katie, out of what seems to be a group of small business owners. Katie is very talented and always super friendly and accommodating (i.e. fitting me in at the last minute). I just got a very edgy pixie cut (a change from my hair past my shoulders) and she did a great job. I have had lots of compliments. I won't go anywhere else.

Snip snip, chop chop. It can be a scary noise when you're in the company of a hairdresser who…read moredoesn't know what their doing. 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!

My hair had been getting ridiculously long for my standards, popped in on a Sunday…read more My first barber (I wasn't able to remember his name) wanted to try a different style on me compared to what I wanted, and it looked great. He was super kind, and professional. I was charged $40 due to it being a Sunday. He said that because he was trying something different on me, if I didn't like it and wanted it a bit shorter, I could come back within 48 hours and get it cut again at no extra charge. I thought was a great policy, I didn't think I would need to use it but my sister wanted my hair shorter for the Summer so I went back the next day after work and saw another man called Gio. Gio did an awesome job, shaved my sides down and got it a lot shorter like my sister wanted, it looked awesome as well as the first haircut. Gio did 10/10 job on the second haircut, attention to detail was perfect. Even put some wax in my hair and a hot towel for my face. Definitely coming back here.

BEN Scissorhands is a new haidresser in the Kelvin Grove Urban Village. Located in the heart of…read morethe QUT Kelvin Grove university campus, Ben's pricing caters well for students, with men's haircuts starting at $20. He also does women's haircuts/washes/foils etc, although I'm unsure of the pricing. From the outside, there is not much to be seen apart from some simple (and clever!) signage on the windows, however stepping inside, you'll find a very comfortable area that I believe was put together by Ben himself! Comfortable hairdressing chairs to sit in, and for those of you having a wash, Ben's wash basin is super comfortable too, supporting your head well and keeping pressure off your neck, which can be uncomfortable. Ben is super friendly, and very knowledgeable in all things hair related. You can show him photos of what you'd like, or explain it to him, and he will read your hair "qualities" and tell you if he thinks it would look good on you. I've had two completely differently styled haircuts from him, both excellent!

There's nothing particularly special or fancy about the storefront, and get your haircut by the first available employee. Most of them have done a good job for me in the past, and I've left as happy as I have from barbers/hair salons twice and three times the price. The caveat is that if they're busy and in a rush, the quality of their work leaves something to be desired. It's certainly not the best pick if you have something elaborate in mind, but for simple, professional haircuts, it's a great choice so long as it's not busy.

I did get the feeling that he didn't really want to cut my hair, I wondered if it was a racial thing (I am middle eastern). He was unsmiling, reluctant to look me in the eye or even talk to me. But he did a good job anyway. Like most of the budget places they work fairly fast, which is good for me because I have my hair cut during my working day and don't want to be sitting around for 3 hours like you do in the hipster places.

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.

Lots of people in a condensed area have been going to the same person every couple of months for years. Everyone knows your name and quite a bit about you from all those haircut conversations. Les has achieved this local legend status in the suburb of Ashgrove and it would be hard to imagine the village centre without him. Working in the same spot for as long as I can remember Les knows many of his customers and you can be sure they know him. While Ashgrove Hair Connexion is far from flashy, Les is a veteran of his craft and offers a great trim for a very reasonable price. So if you're looking for a cheap hair cut with a personal touch Ashgrove Hair Connexion is the way to go.
