Always super impressed with the service at Oscar and Oscar in Chadstone. Staff always so helpful right from when you make the initial booking, they are so flexible in order to accommodate times to suit my timetable. Whether I have a colour, cut or blowdry, I am always so satisfied with the result. Nathan is a great captain of this team. I will always return, and I have recommended Oscar at Chadstone to many of my friends.

Appalling customer service!! I would encourage management to invest in further training and value-oriented work. I'm a medical professional and called to cancel my appointment because of unavoidable circumstances. I was told I am a "time-waster". Won't be returning.

THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE- i have never written a review before but felt compelled to do so after such a horrid experience. i booked here as a treat for the races with a girlfriend of mine. i had a photo of what i was after and the rude woman took it upon herself to do it entirely different style saying "it would look better" - it didn't. In fact, i almost re-did it myself it was so poorly done. Gutted. She made zero conversation with me the entire time and rushed me through. I was offered a cup of tea or coffee to which i accepted, and it never came. To really top things off, i checked the pricing before hand and new i was up for $80-$100. But to my absolute shock, i stood there horrified at my hair at the end, as she requested i pay $130 for the style. She did nothing else, didn't even wash it. So unbelievable disappointed. Will never go back and would advice others to do the same.

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!

Great salon. Samantha did my cut & Nathan did the colour. I have fine thin hair & am never happy with the way it looks. Well, I am now. Samantha & Nathan really listened to what I wanted & were able to interpret my ideas exactly. Very friendly professional salon, A little pricey, but it was worth every cent. Usually when I get a blow dry it has flopped by the end of the day. But it is now 3 days later & I still have lots of body. I couldn't be happier. Thanks guys.

My experience with Oscar Oscar Chadstone has always been top quality even though I've heard negative feedback from a few friends. However, I get my hair cut by either Jacky or Oscar himself and the style is exactly as I asked for but better because they take everything into account such as your face shape, hair texture and personal style. They styled my hair after the blow wave and it looked amazing when I left the salon. Not to mention the hand massage you're given while your hair is being washed - luxury! The only downside of Oscar Oscar is the price, I paid $150 for a treatment, hair cut and blow wave by Jacky. Really steep if you're just looking for a trim, but totally worth every penny if you need your hair in tip top condition for a special occasion.

The first time I went to this place it was amazing. The service was great. Hair cut great, color great, service faultless. The second time I had a rather rude girl who didn't cut my hair the way I asked, they offered to fix it but I didn't take up the offer to go back due to time commitments. The most recent time, I clearly asked for a semi permanent color multiple times and was given a demi color. I did not want a demi as it is more damaging to the hair. The hairdresser also charged me to colour my long hair when he could of cut it first and the coloured it. I got my hair cut from long to shoulder length. I also got charged $30.00 for a treatment(fine) but another $5.00 for some booster. I don't know what this booster was as my treatment consisted of a young guy spraying something in my hair putting a hot towel over it for 1 min and rinsing it out. A big thumbs down for me.

Just in response to your negative feedback, as a hairdresser myself i can assure you a demi colour is a semi permanent colour however it is a lot more nourishing and kinder to your hair and the booster is to ensure that the colour will stay longer and help to add some shine. Just to clarify the facts for you.
