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.

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

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 .

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.

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...

I had balayage colour, cut and blowdry done and am very happy with the quality. I was nervous to get balayage but Zoe did it naturally as requested. I have struggled to find a salon that I am happy with and this one lives up to the positive reviews. It was reasonably priced and great value for money for the results.

I was greeted by one of the friendliest lady. I didn't have any booking but she made sure she could fit me in for a haircut. And i was being served to a very patience lady because i didn't know what hair style i wanted. She would tell me several choices that would suit my round face and i was very pleased with her work. And of course, the friendly lady sent me off with a pleasant farewell as well. Great value, great service, and great result. Couldn't ask for more!

Excellent hairdressers in every way...I went here for the first time a few weeks ago and was very impressed and pleased that I have found such a good hairdressers so close to home...All staff were very friendly and professional. I wanted a new colour and Zoe gave me honest advise on what would work for me, and I was thrilled with the result and have never had so many good comments from people about my hair. It's the only salon I have been to that uses heated scissors which protect your hair from split ends..I have been to many top salons here and in England and found that Sandton more than matches up to the high standard I like in a salon. I won't be going anywhere else again and recommend anyone looking for a new hairdresser to make an appointment, you'll be glad you did.

This hair salon is top notch when it comes to personalised attention, care and good old fashioned service. Highly skilled and up to date, the staff are always thinking of the comfort and the needs of the customer. You leave feeling like you've been looked after so well and have great hair too! I highly recommend this salon; lovely products and fantastic scalp massage at the basin!

The first time I went here I was very happy but the second time was a different story. When I booked in I was clear about what I wanted and how much time I had. I also checked the price. However, when I had my appointment and said what I wanted the hairdresser suggested that something else would be more suitable. I stressed that with a baby I had little time to do my hair before leaving for work and wouldn't be able to blow dry.
I wasn't convinced with the suggested colour and I said that I didn't think it would look good on me. She said there was a photo but couldn't find it. I said I would be happy if there was a greater hair colour contrast such as red etc but as she was the professional would be guided. I was assured that it would be subtle. Once the colour was done there was a clear line 2/3 up my hair - not just the ends and not subtle. It was very yellow. I asked if a toner would be applied but it wasn't going to be. The hair dresser agreed that it was not as expected and I came back in the afternoon to have it adjusted. The hairdresser also adjusted my base colour to be lighter than previously and put a tint over the ends. After it was styled I agreed that I must relieved - but I still had my doubts. Then I was totally annoyed at the price which was twice what I had been told. The next day I washed it and a lot of the colour came out of the ends so it looks yellow again. The ends are like straw and even after two days of using leave in conditioners and treatments it has only got slightly better. I was even told I looked like I had bleached my hair at home and run out half way before getting dragged through a hedge backwards. It also took around 5 hours. All in all not a great color but cut seems ok after 2 washes.

In Dec2011 I chose to go to Sandtone after reading the reviews at WOMO, so coming back to give mine.e. Jane cut my hair and I was very satisfied. The final look after the blow dryer was awesome. I didn't want to reduce my hair length & unlike others she actually took great care of that & also of not experimenting a lot in one cut. All in all i was happy to know that Jane heard me of what i wanted & it actually came that way..how often does that happen..hun!! I travelled 30km one way to visit the salon but it was worth it!!

I have been to Sandton 3 times now. Once for a (long) haircut, once for a color and once for a fringe trim. Each time I have had a positive experience and felt that I received good value for money. Zoe does a lovely cut, by the way.

I was a new customer who came with some difficult experiences elsewhere so I was very nervous. Zoe was fantastic and listened to what I asked her and was extremely professional throughout the cut, colour and blow wave. I came
out feeling a million dollars and had the haircut I asked for. I will be going back and taking my teenage daughter and son
too. (can't take hubby cas he's bald!) The whole team were very welcoming and the salon had a great atmosphere. Extremely impressed and relieved!! Many thanks!

Jane at Sandton met my hair color and style needs with a great care and attention to detail. I was very happy with the multi-tonal natural result with minimal breakage and damage. Exceptional customer service and loved the ammonia free color. Highly recommended!

I went to get my curly locks trimmed with the heated scissors, more out of curiosity, and the promise of fewer trims inbetween, as an end result ;)
I have to say, I was really impressed with the honesty and no nonsense approach that I recieved in regards to my haircut today.
Jenine really listened to what I wanted and did a great job in return. I will definately be coming back, thankyou :)

I have bought products from Sandton and have had my hair done for a special occasion and on both accounts they have been fantastic. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they go to great lengths to make sure you are happy. I have a hairdresser friend who cuts and colours my hair but if I even need a back up salon then there's no question as to where I go - Standton!

The staff are brilliant, always greeting me with a friendly smile and cup of tea. My lovely locks have been every length, shape, size and colour thanks to Janine and her fab team. The various hairdressers have been cutting my hair for the past 6 years and I have never been disappointed. They know exactly how to interpret my hairstyling requests to a style that suits my face shape. I have tried other hairdressers (usually when I've moved further away) but have always come back for the ladies to fix my hair. The in-depth knowledge which they posses about hair, colour, techniques etc is second to none and I would (and have) highly recommend them to men & women of all ages.

Recently when I went to the Caulfield Cup, I needed a hairstyle which was fashionable, yet easy to maintain and would withstand the elements (wind, rain, shine). The staff were able to give me the exact cut I wanted (with the aid of images which I had sourced) and show me how to maintain the style.

I was searching for a new hairdresser and found this one on this site so thought I'd give them a try. Fantastic cut....love the heated scissors....my hair felt wonderful after. Booked in for a colour the following week. Staff so helpful and friendly and the whole experience was wonderful. Realised my previous hairdresser wasn't that great after this experience. Great value for money....great cut....friendly helpful staff....who could ask for more!!

Have you ever heard of heated scissors? Neither had I, until I parked out the front of Sandton Hair Gallery by chance. Intrigued by the concept and still looking for a good hairdresser, I decided to make an appointment. I am so glad I did!
I have long hair and I like to keep it long, but obviously in great condition. All the other hairdressers I have been to in the past always cut off what I've just grown and some! How frustrating! I also have curly hair that has a mind of its own and since having my hair cut with the heated scissors I don't have to have as much cut off and my hair is more manageable. So finally, my hair is growing and looking wonderful at the same time.
The entire staff at Sandton Hair Gallery are friendly, polite, helpful and very professional. Even after going for so long, they don't lose their professionalism. You always feel like their most important client.
I have been going there ever since and wouldn't go anywhere else. Do your hair a favour and try the heated scissors, you'll love the results!
