Melbourne CBD

I was about to give up on my acrylic nails, and then I found Val. I've never looked back! She does a beautiful job - I constantly get comments on how natural and lovely my nails look. Val takes pride in her work, including her choice of quality products and her attention to detail. I would recommend her any day, and will never look anywhere else for my nail care.

I have been seeing Val at various salons for the last 18 years. I have my nails done -

acrylics and love Val's quality attention to detail, creativity and work ethic. I have

followed Val from salon to salon and will continue to do so for the rest of my days.

Over 4 years and 3 locations I have followed Val to get my nails done they way I like them.

Thanks Val :-)

I have been having my nails done by Val for the last 17 years and I wouldn't go anyway else.

Val is definitely the best nail technician in Melbourne if not Australia.

I highly recommend Nails on Collins/ Absolutely polished.

Val has been my nail technician for almost 9 years, and is by far the best I've ever seen. My nails look natural, last me 3-4 weeks and Val uses top quality products ensuring my natural nails stay healthy underneath. Val is very friendly, professional and accommodating, with flexible hours that suit your needs as her client. I always look forward to my appointments with Val, and recommend her to anyone that wants a professional service and natural looking result. Absolute quality.

Love the salon atmosphere & amazing colour & cut results every time. Nadine & Sandra always do their best to fit me in at the last minute for appointments. My long hair has never looked so good

Sandra has been cutting, styling, colouring my hair for 10 years. Sandra is amazing and very talented, I drive from Hampton Park to come and see Sandra. Sandra knows how to make you feel fabulous.

Kodo hair salon is very inviting and welcoming and amazing customer service. xo

Nadine has been cutting my hair consistently for the last 10 years. She first cut my hair back in 2000 but when she moved salons we lost contact so i was extremely happy to find her again in 2007!! Nadine is a true professional and is master of her craft. Honest and thorough always. Sandra has been colouring my hair since 2014 and the colour has never been better! I constantly recieve compliments on my cut and colour.

Kodo Hair is a beautiful salon in the trendy Hardware Lane; you feel right at home the moment you step through the sliding door. I am always offered a wine, coffee or tea to set the mood for my visit. The girls are always friendly and welcoming. The hair products they sell are of high quality. Their pricing for services they offer are affordable for what the girls do. The staff are always on the forward foot when it comes to knowing the latest styles and techniques.

My hair has never looked so good; thank you ladies for it is appreciated!! Xxx

Have had my hair cut all over the world and Sandra at Kodo is the best hairdresser ever have been with her for 8 years and I come from Seaford to see her THE BEST EVER!!!!!!

Sandra has been doing my hair for over 3 years now. I can safely say she is the BEST hairdresser I have ever had the pleasure of engaging. I only recently went blonde ombre and absolutely EVERYONE commented on how amazing my hair and I looked. Sandra really knows how to create a masterpiece and leave a gal feeling glamorous!! Thanks Sandra!!

Totally Skin and Beauty is amazing! They have worked wonders for my skin and I can't thank them enough, especially Leelah who is the most lovely, caring person I have met! Not only are they great at what they do, they are extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable and great to chat to! 100% recommend a visit for anything as small as a wax or nails done to getting your hair done or a total skin transformation! The salon is beautifully decorated, always clean and smells wonderful!

Hi i am getting married on march 11th and have 6 bridesmaid who need their hair and make up done. how much do you charge per person?

Thanks for recommending Meg!! I love my cut and delicious hair colour, so much softer than my old hair style. Loved the follow up blowdry and make up she did for my birthday dinner as well! I will be back again and again!

Thanks for recommending meg , I had my hair cut , coloured and she did my make-up for stage , she was professional and delightful, I felt entirely pampered and "ready for my close up! "

Meg Guthrie is the ultimate professional. Her work on hair and makeup is great- she knows how to make a gal look and feel a million $$$! Flexible times, nothing too much trouble, great work space. yeah - Meg's on speed dial.

Meg did my makeup for an engagement party. I had such a fun afternoon getting ready in her gorgeous salon. My makeup was flawless. She's truly amazing x

Highly trained, highly professional ladies that offer an amazing service. I have had permanent laser hair removal in London, Adelaide and Melbourne. These girls are the best and the equipment is top of the line. The results have been AMAZING. I cannot recommend enough. Thanks Minoo's!

Coming from Townsville i was desperate for a good hair cut...worksense never let me down...great friendly team..walked out feeling a million dollars.

I've been seeing Daniel and Lisa for about 3 years after a very painful 1st year in Melbourne (several bad hair colours and cuts elsewhere in the city). The Team at Worksense are a joy to spend time with, they always listen and offer genuine advice and comment. The salon and service throughout is always considered and comfortable. Daniel and Lisa repaired my hair swiftly and things have only gotten better since. I wont go anywhere else in Melbourne.

I moved to Melbourne about a year ago and have been looking for the right hairdresser since then. Found them! This maybe the best hair cut i have ever had. I now have found the hairdresser for me thanks.

Managed to get an appointment with little notice which was great, quick response and accommodating. Handy that you can pay with card too, quite convenient. The girl who did my spray tan was lovely and the colour and application was good. The big thing that baffles me though is that they don’t put a towel down or give you sticky feet to protect your feet from the overspray that collects in the bottom of the tent. As you can imagine, my feet were a dark green-brown when I hopped out. When brought to attention I was advised this is the same for all clients and most should come off in the shower but if it bothers me to use windex or toothpaste to scrub off. I can assure you that never in my 100+ spray tans have I had to do this... Every spray tan professional provides a towel to stand on or sticky feet. So strange. I did scrub the soles of my feet with windex and most of it did come off, but really, I should not be having to sit on a towel and scrub the soles of my feet for 10 mins following a paid service.

One of the best spray tans I've ever had! I was hooked after the first appointment. Great solution that leaves you naturally bronzed and application is always perfect- no streaks and comes off naturally every time

I took a chance on Absolutely Polished when the prices went up at the salon I used to visit over a year ago and I'm glad I did. Very affordable, great service, fantastic results. I can't recommend Absolutely Polished enough!

Thank you Elaine for your generous support of our annual Pink Ladies Day. Having had many treatments from you I know whoever wins the massage and facial will be well taken care of! Thank you again

I had an Image Acne Lift, and the results were great even just after one treatment. I also use the Image skincare Clear Cell Gel Cleanser and the Clear Cell Medicated Acne Lotion, the Lotion has the ingredient Benzoyl Peroxide which works on those nasty spots that appear. I am very happy and have noticed a significant reduction in my acne.

Thank you so much Elaine for the facial and massage. It was a wonderful relaxing experience. What a gorgeous place, in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend all to go and be pampered, to come out feeling like a million dollars and get back some much needed `me'time.

Elaine has been taking care of my sports waxing and has always provided great advice for before and after care.

Due to my recreational activity my skin is exposed to all types of weather conditions mainly Sun Exposure. I have been using Image Ultimate Prevention as suggested by Elaine as it has a high SPF, I have noticed since I have been using Image Ultimate Prevention that my skin is no longer as red and seems not as dry. Thanks Elaine

I have never before been so happy at a hairdresser as I am from this salon. The service has been amazing and all staff were super lovely, helpful and accomodating. I have had cuts, colour, styling and extensions done here now and all have been done to s higher standard than anywhere else I have gone to but prices have remained reasonable.

After looking around for weeks for a decent hair salon in Melbourne CBD I stumbled across Billie Jean and I was so happy! They were sooo lovely and helpful and managed to book me in the next day becuase of a cancellation. Billie Jean the owner managed to sort my travel hair out and she did an amazing job on the blonde highlights. I would recommend this salon to anybody looking within the CBD!! 10/10

I've been seeing J at Billie Jean for yeaaaaaaars. It's quit quite a rare thing, these days, to get your wash, colour, cut and style all by the same specialist which makes for a incredibly personalised experience. And not just hair, make-up as well. A great selection of hair products ... without the hard sell.

You really must give billie jean a go. They really are the best cut for me in town will always return.

My gf and I have been coming here for years. Always excellent results!

I had a treatment here at Orchid Day Spa and I was instantly relaxed when I walked in. The ladies treated me very kindly and the massage was fabulous. They even have tea/coffee and biscuits to munch on before/after treatments. Will definitely return soon!

Had my first trip to the D’Artanian Dior salon today, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. Chantelle understood exactly what I wanted with my hair, and was so lovely throughout the whole process. Absolutely thrilled with my hair, and definitely will return again soon... especially for more furry cuddles from the adorable Bailey!

D'Artanian is the best hairdresser I have ever been to, period. I had my hair cut by D'Artanian a few months ago and I have never felt more comfortable in the hands of a hairdresser. I had long, curly hair and was looking for someone who knew how to handle and style it. D'Artinanian is a creative genius and has had obvious experience in all areas of hairdressing, including curly hair. He provided me with personal advice and continuously asked questions to make sure he could provide his best service!

Very creative, attentive and truly talented stylist! Really takes time to listen to what the client wants, gives excellent suggestions and delivers perfect results! I get so many compliments for my hair and the credit goes to D'Artanian :) The salon has such a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Thanks D'Artanian and team for the amazing service you offer and great tips for everyday styling!

The intimate salon makes you feel like you're in a Paris apartment!

From the fabulous consultation with D'Artanian to the colourist who did a wonderful job. Can't recommend this salon highly enough!

Had my first cut and colour with D'Artanian at D'Artanian Dior salon and I couldn't be happier. D'Artanian takes such pride in his work and wants all his clients to leave the salon looking and feeling fabulous

My hair has never looked this good. I am so happy with the soft colours that Kerri put through my hair. I went in with damaged, dead, oddly cut hair with bleach turning yellow. Kerri turned this unruly mess into a luscious cut with an ash grey balayage that I cannot stop looking at in the mirror. I feel more like myself - and considering I had no clue what I wanted when I walked through Kerri’s door - a transformed person. The view was stunning, the tunes were good and Kerri’s massage was to die for. Highly recommend. Thanks for all the laughs Kerri, I had such a good time.

If you're looking for a good stylist with magical hands and divine coloring, Kerri will make you smile again, her work is incredible as well as her advice not to mention her private space for us. I only just met her and I know that it will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, I recommend you to meet Kerri.

I have returned from vacations my hair was shattered, I just wanted to cry, the guilt had the chlorine of the typical swimming pools of the hotels, I was totally depressed even if it seems very exaggerated, I work in front of the public and my image is very important, a friend who uses products Aveda, told me that a hairdresser in the CBD who did incredible things with color and hair repairs, her name is Kerri, is in the Manchester unity building and has just moved to a new location in the building and renovated everything, I called her, asked for an appointment, her sweet voice already gave me confidence, came the day and I do not regret not a single moment of having done it, not only she fixed my hair but I leave it better than I was, from that moment I knew she would be my stylist for a long time, thank you Kerri.

I can't wait to come back and hear your funny stories.



thanks again!!!

Kerri is a miracle worker!! Fixed too many bad jobs done by other people, has nursed my hair back to full health with no compromise to colour I wanted to achieve. I always leave with silky, smooth hair. Kerri is so beautiful and friendly, I would not go anywhere else again. Thank you Kerri!!

name a color and style and the amazing Kerri will nail it, she has the skills for being one of the best in town, but you should go and see yourself , thanks again Kerri for your amazing job.

I have been going to Confidente on and off since 2011. I travel the world for my work, i work in fashion and I have still not found anything like it. The standard of work is amazing and it doesn't even matter which stylist you get, they are all so good. Rebecca, Justin and their team are total pros and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Headed down for yet another great cut by a great salon have been going here for over a year now and love it.
