I love Kardia. They are so warm and friendly and really know their stuff. They're super experienced and really listen. Great for a variety of styles and excellent with colour.

Having tried many hairdressers in the Essendon area, I was grateful to finally find Hair By Kardia in Fawker St (near the intersection of Buckley St). I've been going there for years now, as they are one of few hairdressers that know what they are doing. They listened to my history of hair colour disappointments and identified what would work. My hair goes very brassy when it is coloured, but their product and the toner they use, makes my hair a nice ash colour, which is what I like. On top of knowing their products, the staff are very friendly and their prices are much more affordable than many other hairdressers. They also cut hair well. Whilst I haven't had my hair styled for a formal occasion, I have seen other ladies in there having their hair done for weddings or formals and the styling looks good. I can definitely recommend Hair by Kardia for good hairdressing.

I have had my hair cut and coloured here on and off for 8 years. I was always really happy with their service until the last colour i had put through. A few of the foils at the front run really badly and they missed alot of regrowth. Disappointed with what used to by my favourite go to salon.Staff are very lovely though.
