Great service and quality. Quite expensive but then again what hairdresser isn't these days? Very happy with the outcome.

These guys were soooo accomodating. I just walked in after hours, told them that I was desperate for a cut, and that was it!

I was given the 5 star teatment.

Really happy with the service, and ofcourse, the quality of the cut.

I phoned in need of a quick haircut and they were able to fit me in straight away. From the warm greeting at the door, ushered to a chair, offered a cup of tea/coffee, seen to right away by a stylist who gave me a consult and then it was straight in for a shampoo/condition. The heated scissors are a great addition and hopefully I won't need another haircut as soon. The lady gave me a cool blow-wave and I was out in 45 minutes. Very friendly, great service, they knew what I wanted and were straight forward. I was pleasantly surprised that even with my very long hair, when I went to pay for a wash/cut/heated scissors/blow-wave it only cost me $60. I'd called around a few places in forest hill and it was $80 just for a trim. They will get a repeat visit from me.

Approximate cost: $60

Being a male visitor to irregular Mitcham I took advice from my older sister who is a local, which always makes a urban-conscious (don't read MetroSexual) man dubious - but I was extremely happy with the cut and the overall, hospitable environment - Thanks Jane! :)

Have been going to Sandton for over 4 years now. Jane always does a wonderful job with my hair and the whole staff are so welcoming and helpful. Cost is for foils, cut and blow wave.

Approximate cost: $140

I've been to Sandton twice and both times have been very impressed. Lydia was able to take an image I brought in for a new hairstyle and tailor it to my thick, curly hair. She asked the right questions so I could get a good result. Highly recommended and worth the cost

Approximate cost: $75-135

I have very hard and thick hair, but Sandton Hair Gallery did a great job and I am very happy with their service.

Approximate cost: $93

I went to Sandton Hair Gallery after a bad experience at another hairdressers. My hair was cut by a lovely young lady named Lydia who not only cut out the damage done previously but also recommended some excellent products to help my hair looking its best. She cut my hair with heat scissors to help seal the ends and put some treatments in my hair to keep it silky soft. I would recommend Sandton to anyone .

Approximate cost: $50

Zoe cut layers around my face when I specifically said not to. It was also lopsided. I went back and Janine could not fix it without making it shorter - so I got a voucher. They said it was a miscommunication and one shoulder is higher than the other. It's not right to put the blame on me. The receptionist
kept telling me how unusual that is and how my hair looks great. The thing is - I had spent 9months growing my hair. And I didn't want face layers. It's too late now. And although Zoe was super friendly and lovely - I wish I'd stuck with Janine or Denise.

Approximate cost: $75

As I'm sure everyone is aware, finding a decent hairdresser is a feat in itself. But finding a good hairdresser who genuinely cares for their customers and (particularly in this day & age) actually knows what customer service means is an ever rarer feat.

Take note - Sandton Hair Gallery is one of those rare gems. The elusive needle in that giant haystack; the diamond in the rough; rarer than pigs with false hens teeth flying!! Well, you get my point :)

Book an appointment and make it a long one; book in for every service you can think of (within budget of course) as you will need the time just to get through a tenth of all the magazines you're interested in!! The fact that they are all current is a miracle in itself so take advantage.

There are relaxing, reclining, massage chairs at the basins and all the products are organic and smell amazing - somehow even the bleach doesn't smell so bleachy; though I haven't experienced the telltale whiff of perming solution yet...

I had the honour of Janene's company as my hairdresser for the afternoon who managed that perfect balance between leaving my ears alone so my brain could absorb all the fabulous 'news' the magazines had for me, and making good conversation when my eyes needed a break or it was inconvenient to be reading - such as relaxing at the basin in the massage chair!

Next on my hit list for Sandton is to try out the fancy-pants electric scissors. I hear tales that these things do for split ends what nancy ganz does for muffin tops!

Of course, there is only one way to find out if my rambling is sage advice or not and that is to try them for yourself! If not for the magazines and general feeling of fabulous you will walk out with, then go so you can tell your grandkids one day about your experience with the long forgotten art of truly great customer service. You know it's treading the same path as the Tassie Tiger & Dodo...
