Very competent, pleasant and professional staff that makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable I usually see Charlotte (who is AWESOME) but I've had a few different stylists cut my hair, always with great result. The nice cup of coffee is much appreciated too :)

I have been visiting Christine since she opened Scissorhands and she truly is one of the best cutters and stylists in Sydney. I won't mention how long she has been doing my hair for fear of ageing us both publicly! On occassions which Christine has been on leave, her business partner Daniel has stepped up to the mark and done my hair. You couldn't find two more genuine people in the hairdressing business.

Sadly I wouldn't recommend this salon to anyone. My hair was completely destroyed as a result of a terrible dye job. My hair has since fallen out in various places & is at different lengths because of the breakage. Truly incompetent staff & despite the mistake they still charged me hundreds of dollars! I now have to wait several months for my hair to grow & be at a point I can colour it again. Overpriced & concerning.

I am a big fan of Scissorhands. They have been cutting, styling and colouring my hair since they opened their doors in Newtown many years ago. I have never had a bad experience. No previous hair stylist has even been able to make my 'bad' hair look so good. All the friends I have recommended have become regulars and there are many. So a big thank you to the team at Scissorhands. Don't let that one bad review gets you down. Your team are very professional. Me and all my friends are proofs of your excellence in services. I always get praise of my hair style. I highly recommend Scissorhands to anyone and I am sure all my friends will too.

This salon is my favourite place to go for a haircut in the inner west. A trendy salon but with staff who really listen to what I want done with my hair. Have recommended it to quite a few friends and all were equally happy with their colours/cuts.

I just discovered this great place! Awesome haircut and experience. Very happy and will definitively be back! Strongly recommended!

I had my first experience with this place yesterday. The stylist used clippers than scissors (like a barber). I was expecting a good haircut but was dissapointed. Stylist couldnt handel the scissors properly on the top I had to pay top dollar for the haircut. I dont recommend this place to anyone. The only positive thing was the host was courteous but the stylist was poor I believe a barber will do a better job than what he did.

I don't think i've ever had anyone notice my new haircut as much as when i had my first appointment here at Scissorhands with Nathan. I received so many compliments in the weeks after my cut..... and now over a month later it still looks great, well its definately the happiest i've been with a haircut for a long time. I'll definately be back as a regular.

I really like Scissorhands. They're often good with offering advice if you're not sure what to do, but not too pushy about it. Alot of hairdressers used to get excited that my hair can be dyed white so easily and ignore my instructions about the colour I wanted. The colourists at Scissorhands have always done what I've asked and done it well enough that people compliment me on the street. Just beware, if you want a weekend appointment, they're popular (with good reason).

This low key yet funky salon combines Newtown's former off-beat charm with considerable skill. Ali, one of the owners, has cut my hair for 15 years. She knows I'm hopeless at style, so she gives me a haircut that stays stylish for the 4 months it takes me for to organise another haircut, and I don't have to know anything more than how to muss my hair with my fingers when I dry it. They never push product on you, they are kind to children, and they can explain why they do what they do so that it's easy to look great after you leave. I always feel professional, interesting and attractive when I leave. Definitely a hidden gem.
