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).

Love this hairdresser! I have been this one in the city, the valley (now closed) and Chermside…read more If your like most women, you probably dread the hairdressers. Will they stuff up my hair? 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.

First off, the prices here are RIDICULOUS. I spent $500 for some foils essentially…read more Secondly, the hairdresser basically felt she knew better than me. 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? I eventually got the money to them but not without significant stress on my behalf! You'll never see me there again, that's all I know.

After having a couple of standard services and one that stuck our pretty badly, I was fortunate…read moreenough to have the business owner, Kate, contact me about my sub-par experience. She kindly extended a host of complimentary services (including one treatment which I had not originally received) to make up for the sour taste my last visit left in my mouth. My re-do services started with a separate 15 minute consultation with my stylist, Holly, to ensure we were both on the same page about exactly what I wanted and how it could be achieved. On the day of my appointment, I was warmly greeted by name, and offered several much-needed coffees. Then the magic began. Holly and I again touched base on the treatment and she re-consulted with another colourist on the best method and approach to produce my desired results. She was simultaneously completely professional and warm, and over the next 4.5 hours, she demonstrated utmost attention to her tasks and my (and my hair's) well-being. Holly is a self-proclaimed colour-fanatic, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her in particular to any of my friends looking to have a colour treatment. What really won me over was the absolutely divine hair and scalp therapy from their new rituals line of services, which consisted of a custom treatment application, scalp massage, eye pillow, warm towel, blanket, and a bit of snooze (if you can help it). In the end, I am completely pleased with how it turned out. I've finally achieved the look I been wanting for this last couple of months, and most importantly, I am impressed with the level of service I received from a 'salon of the year' award winner. Thank you Elysium team.

They make you give a $50 deposit on booking…read more My mum died and I couldn't make the appointment. Most rude receptionist. No sympathy or anything. They will not refund me the $50 deposit and all they said was "can you make Friday?" in a tone that was similar to "you are inconveniencing us". Most people would have walked away at this point but I gave them another chance. Booked it in for the Friday and the hairdresser that was going to do my hair left the salon and they were just going to pan me off any junior hairdresser working at the salon. And if that wasn't enough, in my grieving process I had the polite courtesy to call them that morning in regards to cancelling my appointment because I was caught up at work. And they ask, "can you just come to the appointment because our hairdressers cannot lose income. They rely on that back to back booked appointments because they need the money." There is bad customer service. But this is probably one of the worst I have ever experienced in a hair salon. Sometimes waiting times are weeks to get one appointment in. Not too sure why. I have been to some of the best hair salons in the world and they skill level you notice from the hairdressers are not particularly exceptional. Big thumbs down for me.

The counter was unattended but eventually a lady returned in a flap having ducked out to buy a father's day card for hubby, quickly explaining it was not for her father "who was in heaven" (bit of a downer to our happy mood). She fluffed around working out when they were available and finally told us to come back in half an hour. We quickly ate some lunch and rushed back only to be left sitting around for another 30 minutes waiting to be attended to. The same front counter lady (think she must have been the owner or manager) came over and loudly and repeatedly exclaimed how dry and terrible my hair was, in front of everyone. She said our appointments would cost $69. I said we just wanted a trim, our hair was already washed that morning and we did not need a blow dry. She said she had to wash my hair because it was so terrible and DRY that was the only way the hairdresser could see how to get an even cut and that the blow dry came with every haircut. We should have walked out then and there but she must have seen my daughter and I exchange bemused glances because she said she'd throw in a free conditioning treatment because after all I really needed it! We waited a bit longer and with people going everywhere she directed the girls to wash our hair and then whilst we were at the basins getting our 2 minute treatment she came over and berated them for not having us have the treatment in the chairs because they were busy and there's always a reason for what she says girls! I'm not exactly sure what the girls had done wrong and neither were they but her tone was belittling and made me feel small...and I was just the customer. The hairdresser who cut my hair was friendly and I think she did an okay job (but after all my hair is terrible so what would I know) however that haircut was the quickest I had ever had and took about 5 minutes tops. Then she got someone else to blow dry my hair while she cut my daughter's who had to remind her that she had forgotten to cut her fringe. Will not be going here ever again but my daughter and I did get a laugh about what a horrible experience all around it was - one we won't soon forget!

Great Salon, Great Service, Great Speciality biscuits and most import great hair cut - can't wait until my next appointment everyone I know has been remarking on my new hair cut, and what is more, having washed it just use my hands to blow dry it, how about that for an excellent cut!

The customer service is wonderful. You walk in and are automatically greeted like an old friend…read more And that was at my first visit. Yes, I've been back since. The second time while I waited for my coffee was treated to a head massage. Being new to the area was given many suggestions on restaurants and bars in the area. It's hard to find a new hairdresser after a move and this was my 4th one. The salon is small and do very personable. Maddy my stylist and I are stilling getting to know each other, but are heading in the right direction of meeting my very basic hair needs. David Murray is lovely and is very lucky to have selected such a wonderful team. It's probably on the pricier side being more expensive than my hairdresser in NYC but I'm willing to overlook that for a good haircut.

I'll confess something to you, fellow yelpers. I am terrible at hair salon relationships. I'm…read moreterrible at maintaining them, I rarely see a hair dresser twice and I'm notorious for getting cold feet and have huge trust issues. That is, until I was recommended David Murry Salon. Without leaning towards sounding too much like a Danoz Direct advertisement, my experience with DMS has made me trust again. I think we'll go steady. As well as being a master of his craft the thing I look forward to most when visiting David is the head massage - it is the best I have ever had. I know I'm not alone with this being a crucial elements of the hairdresser relationship. I'd go as far to say a bad head massage would be a deal breaker. This, combined with the unique in-salon experience David prides himself on creating for clients makes DMS the hottest new kid on the hair salon block. You share a great hairdresser with trepidation because, like an only child, you fear sharing him with others. This is how I feel about David and his fabulous team. They're so good I want to keep them all to myself. Just as Napoelon Perdis says it is a crime not to prime, I know to spend one's life searching for the perfect hair stylist would be a similarly heinous crime. So fellow Brisbane-ites, chop chop and visit DMS. Just leave a few appointment slots for me!

I'll be honest with you, i've never spent over $200 on my hair, like, ever. The only reason I went…read morehere was because I got a hair voucher for 60% off at an expo back in the day a few years ago. But let me tell you, it was the best haircut I have ever gotten of all the millions in my life. Upon arriving for my appointment, wow... such treatment. It was like I was a celebrity. They took my bag and showed me to the cloak/locker room where I put my belongings and then popped a robe on top of my clothes to get ready for my hair cut. Then after I was seated I was offered a complimentary drink and lemon sorbet (best service ever) I really did feel important and star like. The hairdresser was very professional and I then had a complimentary treatement with the cut right after. Oh, did I mention the chairs were really comfortable and there is music and books to read? They will even promote your business on screen in-house if you're a client of theirs... pretty good stuff! The service has definetely set Guggenheim in a class above all the other hair places I've ever been to but I'm not sure if I could afford the prices they charge for the service you get... believe me if I could I would. However, they do have specials every now and again for example, at the moment they have a $149 half head of foils, free scalp massage, style consult and blowdry which is pretty good value for the service you get so it can be affordable or it can be that special treat you give yourself every now and again. Guys - they do you too! (Ed: They have since moved from the Wintergarden to George Street, and I haven't been there yet)

They do have a cute, unique setup as far as the locker room goes, but I sure didn't feel valued, or even particularly visible - and I never got the famed sorbet (if I knew to expect it, I may have even asked for it). I almost had to fight the stylist to get her to cut my fringe as short as I wanted it. Despite the multitude of reward cards handed over at the end of my visit, I wasn't inclined to return, or to pass said reward cards on to friends (as suggested). Finally, the thing that confirmed I'd make my review two stars instead of three - the amount of topless women in the gallery section of the website. Blech.
