I was really hesitant to return to Oscar Oscar Chadstone, as my last two experiences in their salon had been horrendous. The first time I visited I had a pretty shoddy hair cut and the second time I visited only to get my hair curled for my birthday (no shampoo or blowdry) and I had the rudest girl ever lecture me on dying my own hair (I was a broke naturally blonde Uni student who dyed her hair black, but hey that was my choice) and gave me general snark and horrible customer service from start to finish. The third time I returned was last Saturday. Due to my past two experiences I was VERY reluctant, but I was attending my first black tie work event (yay for graduating Uni) that required everyone be dressed to the nines. I was getting my makeup done at David Jones Mac (also AMAZE) and wanted a salon close by, so I booked the appointment hoping I wouldn't get any lectures since I no longer dye my own hair and have gone back to my natural blonde self.
Anyway I'll stop rambling because this review isn't of me, it's about the AMAZING Lisa who styled my hair for the event and all the other lovely staff I encountered that day. I guess the third time is the charm because they completely nailed it. Lisa was so lovely and welcoming, it was like having one of your best friends do your hair. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I took in a photo of my dress and said all I could be certain of is that I wanted my hair teased to the heavens. She did exactly that and just blew my expectations out of the water. My hair looked unreal, and whenever I need to go get my hair done for an event, I'll always make sure I book in with her. It cost $115 for a wash, blowdry and styling but it was worth every penny. If you need your hair done for a ritzy event, Lisa is your go to girl. She has amazing skills and a really great veggie burger recipe! Thanks so much Lisa, you're an absolute gem!

Approximate cost: $115
