Misato (or Missy) is the only hair dresser I trust with my hair. Before she even picks up a pair of scissors she patiently explains how and what is involved with the cut and after care advice. Each appointment I've made over the last 3 years has been for a drastically different style every time, and Missy has given me a spot on cut every time. Terrific cuts, and terrific customer service. I highly recommend her.

Green Butterfly has a laid back, unique atmosphere which makes my visits enjoyable.

I've been having my hair cut by Missi for almost a year now and would highly recommend her as a hairdresser. She's always interesting and nice to talk to and does great funky cuts!

Green Butterfly is excellent! I've been going for years.
I see Sam who I click with on styles and colour. She hears what you say and always comes up with new creative ideas - perfect.
My kids also get their hair cut there. I've had cuts done by Tash and others - all very good and it's totally ok to move through the hairdressers - you don't have to stick to one/can change if you want to!
Very friendly staff, child friendly place, creative place and bunch!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. A cut above the rest ;)

I have been a client for over two years at Green Butterfly and have seen almost all stylists on staff.

I am yet to have a bad experience, the cutting skill level is very high and I have always found my cuts to last well.

I have not had colour there as yet but have been impressed with the colours I see around me.

The staff are friendly, non pretentious and interested in their craft,

Cabrini has cut and coloured my hair many times. She always has a great sense of instinctively knowing what I want even when I am not sure myself. Colour has always been tasteful and in keeping with my own personal sense of style, while still feeling fresh and new. Cuts are always flattering and well finished and I always feel great coming out of the salon. What with the entertaining banter and personal attention, getting my hair done with Cabrini is the ultimate goddess experience!

Had my hair cut by Cabrini last time. She was so lovely and gave me a brilliant fringe like Ian Brown! Will definitely go back!

I won't let anyone other than Cabrini cut my hair, she's such a talented hairdresser and my friends always comment how great my hair looks after.

I saw Cabrini there for my cut and colour. I'm always a bit nervous when I go to a salon because I have unruly curly hair, but Cabrini did exactly what I asked, rather than doing what she thought would look good. I had a toner put through my hair and some blonde foils and I can honestly say it was the best colour combination I've ever had. I would highly recommend this salon and Cabrini in particular as a cut and colour specialist - she's the best!

I've been going to see Amy at Green Butterfly for almost a year now. Its the best salon I have EVER been too! Amy always does an amazing job, I always feel fantastic after my haircut. The atmosphere at this salon is so relaxing, its like going to visit a friends house. I'm never going anywhere else =)

Great consistent haircuts from Nat. Lovely atmosphere and very accommodating when I had to bring my young kids in with me. I have only had one bad haircut from here and that was with a young lass who no longer works there. Every other time I have been very happy with my hair.

I have been going to Green Butterfly for the past 8 years & I am always happy with the end result! Everyone who works there is lovely & easy going. I tend to see Natasha for a cut & colour - I have complete trust in her skills & am more than happy to try anything new she may suggest. :)

In the past I have had the same haircut for years when a family member gave me a gift voucher to green butterfly ( hint much?) I love a freebie so I went! I first saw Nat who suggested a new style... I freaked...she calmed me down...I felt like an idiot so I agreed...didn't want to admit to the family member that I loved my new look...but I do...I have been going to Green Butterfly ever since and have been brave enough to try a few different styles too (go me!) But what I love most about GB is that Cheers factor...where everybody knows your name! It makes me feel safe and secure so that I know if they suggest a new style it is because they want me to look good as it reflects upon them...rather than a haircut they do because its easy and quick.

Approximate cost: $65

I went here recently for the first time after searching on Womo for a new hairdresser. Given all the high praise i went here and saw Amy and very pleased with everything! No sales pitch to buy products (though i did ASK for some styling goo to take home), they were VERY accommodating of me and my 8 month old son (i had palmed off my 2.5yr old to be with grandad at the local play centre). My bubba decided not to sleep that afternoon, so they bought out the toy box, then when that wasnt working they tried holding him for me, which worked longer than i expected :) I had problems with alopecia which meant that my choice in cut was challenging and limited but i can honestly say that Amy did a wonderful job. I've literally chopped off almost all my hair but i've had so many compliments over the past 2 or 3 weeks that im tempted to keep it short now!!! Dont go here if you want a fancy schmancy salon experience, but if you want a friendly, caring, and relaxed experience then this is the place to go :)

Approximate cost: $90 inc product

Such a great salon. Friendly, skilled staff and reasonably priced. I've been to some of the best salons in Melbourne and paid hundreds for cuts and colors that have been average, but at Green Butterfly I've always been happy. Only downside is sometimes hard to get appointment - but that's because they are so good their always busy :)

Since moving to Melbourne i have been going to Green Butterfly, this has been 5 years. However i have to confess that last year i went to another hairdresser because i heard they were good and really cheap. i'm prone to seeking a good deal wherever possible. Anyway, i wasn't really happy with my new stylist and was plagued by guilt. I started to walk on the other side of High Street, for two reasons really, my hair looked crap and i felt crap about leaving them. This went on for quiet a while. Eventually my girlfriend told me i had to get a decent haircut. I was relieved to go back. When i went back everyone was most welcoming and said they were worried about me. They thought they had done something to upset me. I had to explain that i was a "tight-ass" and that it had nothing to do with them. Its good to be back home. I'm happy and girlfriend is happy. Thanks to Nat and the Green Butterfly Team

Green Butterfly are amazing. Specifically in my experience, Sam is an amazing colourist and Euan does amazing extensions. I started going to Green Butterfly after my previous hairdresser completely ruined my hair, and the folks at GB are helping me nurse it back to health. Really friendly staff, cool vibe and great music, and everyone's always ready to have a chat. Plus, compared to some hairdressers I have been to, their rates are very reasonable. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Amazing.I had been "without a hairdresser" for some time and after going through a fair bit of hair angst which included two expensive but ugly haircuts,followed by expensive extensions which fell out and looked scraggy I found SAM and Green Butterfly.All sorted. Extraordinary cut that just feels good every day and is not hard to maintain. The staff are all really friendly and have excellent communication skills and the service is really generous and spirited. Sam has changed my life!!!!They also do awesome extensions so if ever I do that again I know that I will be in good hands as these people really know hair.!

I have been to Sam who did my colour & it was the best result i have had since colouring my hair, looked really natural. I love this salon because it is so down to earth and friendly, really relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The prices are also unbeatable and afforable & the products they use are natural which i like. I would definatly go back there if i hadn't moved so far away as it would be quite a trek (few hours) :(. Highly reccomend this salon!

I've just had my second appointment at Green Butterfly who I initially went to based on the good reviews on this site. I most definitely was not disappointed. Sam is fantastic, she nailed my color the very first time I saw her and it keeps getting better. The whole team are really lovely and really value and remember their clients, which I think is pretty rare. I love the laid back atmosphere of the salon and feeling truly welcome. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this salon to anyone - my friend is trying it shortly - I am thrilled that I found them and will keep coming back.

Visiting Green Butterfly cured me of my hairdresser phobia. The focus genuinely seemed to be on giving me a cut and colour I was happy with and that suited me - not on criticising the fact that I hadn't had a haircut for months, or on selling me the latest $40 styling cream. The cut was a little bit unexciting but still good, and suited me, and the colour was absolutely perfect!

Approximate cost: $130

I have never been back to a hairdresser more than a few times. I have now been going to Green Butterfly for about two years, usually to see Tash and a few times for Nat. I have had so many strangers come up to me and complement me on my hair style and colour. I am usually vague about what style I want and leave it up to Tash to do whatever she pleases. I will never be straying from this place.
They also provide a great dating service. I met my husband through the hair salon. Tash did my hair for my wedding at it was sensational!!!
People are important to me and how they make me feel and I must say everyone at Green Butterfly are super friendly and entertaining.
Ewan makes for a great tea lady and bar tender.

I've been seeing Tash for about 7 years since she worked out of her house and I wouldn't go to anyone else. If you know what you want, she does it perfectly and if you don't, she'll give you the perfect haircut. You can't go wrong. The salon is a delight and you are always made to feel welcome. All the guys in the salon are gorgeous and the whole thing is a very personal experience - like you're with old friends. I have recommended heaps of my friends and and a result, many of them have become repeat customers. I can't recommend Green Butterfly highly enough. (But do book ahead. As I just found out, they are all super busy and now I have to wait... It's worth it though... :))
