I’m so happy with my haircut! I went for what I call the “Dakota Johnson haircut” and I absolutely love how it turned out. My natural curls are coming through beautifully, which not every hairdresser has the skills for. The whole experience was really pleasant, we had a lovely chat and I felt comfortable and at ease from the moment I walked in. I’m definitely recommending this place, even if you have naturally curly hair! And getting to enjoy the student discount was a lovely bonus. :)

Chris is fantastic! I really appreciated how much he listened to my concerns and questions about my hair before we started the trim. The outcome was great and exceeded my expectations. I was only in Melbourne for the day- I live in the United States, but will 100% book with Chris again in a few months, returning when it’s time for another cut. Thank you!
