This is my sort of hair salon, where I can get in, have a good massage while my hair is washed, have a quick chop with minimal chat, and be home 20 minutes later with a great hairdo...! I'm sure that the chat and longer treatment are there for those who want them too.

Approximate cost: $30.

This is the best cut and colour I have ever had. I can't believe all these years I have been going so far from home. I guess the perception is that the suburban hairdressers aren't as good but it's so far from the truth. It's great value for money here as well.

Approximate cost: $75
