What guests come here for
What people say
Patient, unhurried staff
Staff hear out what you want, and any trouble you've had with your hair, before the cut starts.
They explain what they are doing
They go through every step of a colour or hair treatment in detail, so you know what to expect.
Styling it at home
Before you go, a stylist runs you through setting side bangs and finishing the new cut yourself.
Curly or textured hair
They cut curly and wavy hair so it sits right without styling.
For frizz, the stylists suggest keratin or an amino acid treatment, and mornings get quicker once the tangles are gone.
No hard sell
Nobody sells to you at the chair, and a hair product only comes up if you ask what to use.
The small extras
Washes come with a slow head massage, good enough that some would return for the wash alone.

The ranges on the menu move with length, and hair longer than mid-back adds $20 to any chemical service.

Visitors on short trips have been fitted in for a trim or a colour, sometimes on the day they called.
