I treated myself to a cut and blow wave at V FOR HAIR for Mother’s Day and had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. The young stylist who looked after me was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel completely comfortable and cared for throughout the appointment.
The shampoo and conditioning treatment was absolutely lovely and so relaxing. I was also treated to a delicious peppermint tea and a beautiful hand oil treatment, which made the whole visit feel extra special and indulgent. My hair looked and felt amazing afterwards — exactly what I was hoping for.
Fantastic service, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and such thoughtful touches. I left feeling refreshed, pampered, and very happy. Highly recommend!

Well, I had the utmost pleasure of a very special 4.5 hours transitioning from bland dyed brunette to a natural grey dark blend and the best haircut I have ever had in 64 years of my young life. I am so grateful for the info, understanding, care and knowledge that went with this very hard appointment for me. Thank you so much Vicki and Maddie. Best girls ever and even my Husband said, dont ever, ever go to anyone else again. I wont

I wanted to begin a transition to grey after being a brunette my whole life. I had a consult with Vicki as a new client and I felt really confident she could assist me, she totally got what I wanted and I’m absolutely thrilled with my hair. I now have a clear plan that prioritises the health of my hair whilst achieving the result I was looking for. Thanks Vicki 🩷

A warning about this place - I got a Qiqi straightening treatment and was quoted $299. They charged me over $600 as I have thick hair - yes I have a lot of hair (shoulder length) but surely not double the cost. The manager treated me with disdain and told me rather haughtily that this was the standard pricing for Qiqi. Well, I checked around and it is not - most places were horrified and many said they charge an extra $50 for thick or long hair. If you want Qiqi straightening look elsewhere!!

Hakan did a BRILLIANT job on my hair. It was my first visit yesterday and I’ll definitely be going back just for him! He really listened to what I wanted (keeping the length, layers, and face framing). I’ve had bad experiences at other salons, so I was honestly so happy with the result. Thank you, Hakan!!!
