I'm sure that most women would agree that finding a great hair salon is like wearing your favourite pair of jeans or some kind of equivalent analogy, trusty and reliable and you would go/wear again and again!!! I am the kind of person who finds going the to hairdressers traumatic at times to say the least.
I've sampled several hair salons in the year since I relocated to Melbourne & in Slinky Hair I think I have finally found my go to salon. The prices are on a par with any other salon of it's type in & around Melbourne, but for me it's all about the service as much as the price. I'm not a fan of being passed between the colourist, to the stylist, to the junior & back to the stylist again, for me I prefer to have just one person involved in the hair cut & colour process.
Slinky Hair is a small boutique salon with three hair stylists Kon, Oliver, Georgia and their delightful apprentice Mariah. Oliver tended to my tresses and actually managed to pull of a miracle in creating some texture & give a feeling of fullness to my frustratingly thin/fine hair. It was nice to actually have a stylist listen to what you wanted & not leave me with a style that I would be unable to replicate once I'd left the salon. I was very satisfied with both the colour & the cut.
It was a very personal experience and with a selection of teas and coffee on offer I was never without a drink or reading material to browse whilst going through an enjoyable process rather than what has in the past felt more like an endurance test. For once I actually left a salon feeling very happy rather than rushing to tie my hair back after having had my hair styled into a bouffant mess.
I'm actually looking forward to going back for my next appointment rather than being filled with fear!!! read more
