I have had dreads for seven years now so when i need maintenance for my wedding I was really apprehensive about going to a hairdressing salon ( but my mum insisted ) a friend told me about Green Butterfly and a that a guy there specializes in dreads and that I should see him....glad I did ( so was Mum ) Ewan made my hair amazing and the helped with the pre wedding hair nerves with cruizy tunes and a glass of wine. I can't thank Ewan enough. Its also cool that he knows his dreads rather than a hairdresser who decides they know about dreads!

Really nice personalised salon, you feel happy and comfortable the minute you walk in there. I have only been there the one time but would go back again.

A laid-back salon, totally unpretentious, no pink walls and shiny chrome tables here. They offer a great cut and colour, but more importantly give personal consultations in a friendly atmosphere. Kids are welcome.

I heard about Green Butterfly from other WOMOW reviews and I was excited to try it out. As soon as I walked in I was happy with my decision! Everyone was so friendly and the actual salon decor is gorgeous and trendy. I didn't have a particular style in mind but gave some guidelines and came away with a brilliant cut which really suits me. The staff are so nice and their relaxed chat makes you feel really comfortable. Will definitely be going back again!

getting my hair done at Green Butterfly is fantastic, they listen to what I ask for in my haircut and the cut is always a good one which suits me, I often get compliments on my hair since coming here. And as for the colour... well all I can say is wow, I love it. So much so that I leave the choice of colours entirely up to them these days. Plus the company is fantastic and the conversation extremely entertaining. Would highly recommend these guys to anyone, its a great experience as well as a fantastic hair cut!

The staff were lovely and friendly but compared to other salons that I have been to my hair style was just average. It wasn't bad but nothing to rave about. As soon as my hair grew a little, the style was gone and I needed to go and have it cut again. I find that with more skilled stylists, my hair can grow out for a while and still look great.

Wow. Simply wow. What a relaxing, friendly and awesome salon. I moved into the area a year or so ago and had been looking for a new salon, finally I found Green Butterfly. I was in BAD need of a good color and cut for a big event, and just generally, and I came out looking sensational. (and just so you know, guys, we won the competition that night!) could not recommend Green Butterfly highly enough.

After moving to the Northcote area almost a year ago, I'm so excited I've finally found a hairdresser worth returning to a second time.

Tash has been cutting my hair for about 10 years now - I've followed her from salon to salon and when I returned to Melbourne from living in London I was really pleased to see she and Ewen had set up their own business. It's great to have that continuity with someone who understands your hair and who you can be truthful with about what you want and don't want. Salon has a lovely, friendly vibe.

Happy to travel across town to get my hair done here.

My 8 year old son came out of the salon looking like a junior version of Paul Weller, complete with some punky little 'triggers'. Sam cut his hair. A very welcoming little space. Highly reccommended!

I've been getting my hair cut by Tash for years now!
I've told many of my friends to go to Green Butterfly and they absolutely love it, and can't thank me enough for recommending them!
From the moment you walk in the door, it's like catching up with old friends for a wine and a laugh. I thoroughly look forward to walking through that door every 3 months.
All the staff are brilliant, and Tash does an amazing job every time!
I can honestly say, I've never been disappointed with a cut from her.
Sometimes I just walk in and say "Tash, I need a change.. do what you want" and I completely trust her. The other times she knows exactly how i want it and never faults.

tip: Make sure you book your next appointment when you're leaving as Tash is in such high demand it's hard to get in within 3-4 weeks of calling to book! (she's worth the wait! )

Approximate cost: $62

being new to melbourne i looked online to find a good and affordable hair-dresser. i found this site and after reading all the great reviews i was confident that i would leave the green butterfly with a great new doo.

But i was disapointed in the end result,i just wanted a simple layering with a bit of lift but left the hair dresser 62$ shorter and feeling very disapointed..there really was no difference in my hair from when id walk in to when i walked out
she spent 5 minutes cutting and 25 mins blow-drying.

The people were so lovely and i was appreciative of the tea and personal interaction but when it comes down to it, its really about the hair cut not the conversation..
sorry guys..

I used to get my dreadlocks maintained by Ewen and after trying several different dreadlock experts I have to say he has been the best. He gets my dreads so unbelievably tight all the way to the scalp. The only reason I don't go see him any more is I'm now a poor student and can't afford it. (He's the best...but also the most expensive.) If you can afford it, he's worth every penny but on my income a visit almost equals a fortnights wage. The whole crew there are fantastic and always make you feel comfortable while you're in the chair. (Well...as comfortable as one can be with someone teasing your hair into tight cords!) Hopefully next year I'll be able to afford a return visit.

Another newbie to Melbourne, saw the ratings and thought great, why not! I had Luke wash my hair (orgasmic - either I was severely deprived of a relaxing head massage or that was just plain absolutely fantastic...). I had super Nat cut my hair, and I love it. Very funky and personalized. Recommend? Yes yes yes!

Went to Green Butterfly after hearing good reviews from a friend....what can I say they were wonderful, after years of trying to grow my hair I decided to get hair extensions and they looked wonderful...and everyone thought it was my own hair :) Have been back for maintenance and I can't thank or praise them enough.

I needed my hair to look fabulous for christmas and a friend recommended Green Butterfly, I read many great reviews on this site so i decided to give them a go. From the moment I walked through the salon door I was treated like an old friend and was instantly put at ease. My stylist gave me a full consultation an a glass of champagne! Lovely! Anyway my hair looks wonderful!! The colour is perfect and the cut has been so easy to look after! I got so many positive comments on christmas day!! I LOVE it!!

Nice enough staff but hair not done as shown on colour chart...... way off the mark. Had comments from friends that it looked like I had done it myself and it didn't work out.

I bought my sister a voucher from here for her birthday after seeing all the great reviews here on WOMOW. They were easy to deal with on the phone and the voucher was delivered quickly. I'll get my sister to rate them once she's had her hair done - hopefully they're as good as everyone here says they are!

Just had my first GB experience last week and must say it was fantastic! The couple of glasses of wine were much appreciated!

I had Nat for a colour & cut and after only a short conversation about my likes & what I wanted she got to work with a half head of foils. One of the best colours I have ever had! I have had so many compliments on it, so much kudos to Nat! Nat also did a quick trim on my hair and neatened up the current cut, which now sits really well.

The staff I was fortunate enough to speak with (Ewan, Sam & Maddie) are extremely friendly & down to earth (unlike more common pretentious salons) and the small space means you can have a conversation that everyone is involved in.

Loved it more than I can say & will be back again & sending friends & family!

I have very thick difficult hair and they did a fantastic job. I am quite hard to please sometimes but i was so happy with my cut and the price is fabulous, i think it was around $60 for a student.
The staff were lovely and really relaxed. I'll definitely go back.

I got my hair cut a few week ago by Nat at Green Butterfly. I was running really late for a cut and color appointment and she was so lovely about it and was still happy to at least cut my hair. She did a great job and I am really happy with it. Great down to earth girls - not your typical snobby salon!

I LOVE my visits to GB. Tash and Sam feel like friends now and always take a genuine interest in me. They are very down to earth - not your usual hairdressers. Very accommodating if you need to bring kids/babies. And of course, they are very very good at what they do.

I am new to melbourne therefore was extremely careful about choosing a salon. I found out about Green Butterfly through many positive revews and reccomenations from people who are regular customers and i can now say, thanks to the much needed guidence, that it has been a fantastic hairdressing experience. All the staff at GB are dedicated, hardworking and talented hairdressers. They are friendly, down to earth people who actually bother to give you the time of day. To add, they are very resonably priced- i was very suprised by this.

Sam,my hairdresser,was wonderful. She communicated well, taking the time to listen to exactly what it was that i wanted. She was patient, kind and great to chat with. Not only that but my hair looks fabulous-very good colouring and application, it looks so natural.

GB has a really fun atmosphere and makes you feel relaxed. The products they use are natural and specifically designed not to damage the hair.They offer a wide range of services including dreadlocks, extensions and are accomadating to any style, whether it be simple, funky, out there or that of the latest fashion. Bottom line is...i can't wait to go back!!
