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 came a point sometime this year where, even for my ridiculous mane, paying $300-$400 for a…read morecut, colour and blow dry was ludicrous. And thus I set upon a journey to find a hairdresser that could bring my locks back to human standards and not cost me an arm and a leg. Somehow Instagram or Facebook led me to Ellie at Nut Salon and thank heavens. She's a no-bullshit, straight-shooting retro (she has a love of the 40s & 50s) delight who has, now several times, given me a cut that is manageable and has my hair in the best condition it's ever been in. She "gets" my waves and curls and somehow wrangles them into submission. Plus she's great with colour. And the best bit? I'm walking out of the salon without having to sell my imaginary first born child. (Seriously: a cut, colour and blow dry with Ellie costs me less than $180 and for me, that's value).

When I first moved to Brisbane I was dreading finding a hair dresser. I had had the same hair…read moredresser for over 10 years and she really knew what I wanted without having to explain it too much. Gigi hair is around the corner from my house and one day I decided to give it a try. Just a hair cut first to see how it went then think about colour. Christy was very friendly from the start and did a great job listening to what I wants, no major change but a good cut with layers. I walked our very happy with my new cut. A few months later I went back for colour which was exactly what I wanted as well. Christy turned my boring brown into a lush beautiful dark brown. Once again a great cut. It is a little more than what I spent in California for a cut and colour but worth the money.

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!

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.

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!

Will it be too short? Will my hair fall out/break? However I always feel safe giving my hair to the staff at Oscar Oscar. They all have years experience at one of the best salons in Australia. Perfect haircuts. Every time. They give you a beautiful head massage with cuts, and if you get colour, also a hand massage. I have been coming here since I was a teen. Beautiful, clean, modern salon. Two levels, large mirrors, the lighting isn't that flattering but they need to see your hair colour properly. Never had a bad experience. The basins are fairly comfy for basins. I like the chairs they have at the mirrors - comfy. Though your butt can get numb if you're there for a colour and cut and have long hair but that's to be expected. With plenty of mags, and an assortment of beverages and biscuits. Now lets not tip toe around the mulberry bush - this is a very expensive salon. Haircuts start at $100 for women and $80 for men - and this is for a stylist. Yes, as you go up experience the price increases all the way to a master stylist at $140 for women and $120 for men. The only thing that does get my goat is when you pay over $100 for a a haircut and the hairdresser doesn't blow-dry or straighten/curl it, an apprentice does. They do a good job, but still. They use Adveda products that smell amazing. Soft product push - just tell them you have enough at home or a no thanks. The staff are mostly friendly, though some aloof and might I say stuck up. That doesn't really matter to me though. A perfect haircut with clean lines, no mistakes and beautifully blended foils.

I said I wanted to go blonde but didn't want to fry my hair TOO much. Her response to this was that all bleach treatments are damaging and instead gave me some highlights? Which wasn't what I want. It additionally took RIDICULOUSLY long to get it done. I was waiting almost 5-6 hours for the whole thing I reckon. Then their Eftpos machine wasn't working with my card so they took down my details and proceeded to call me everyday to hassle me about the money like I was some sort of criminal?
