Oscar Oscar

Indulgent but worth the price.
Getting your hair styled at Oscar Oscar is an experience for those who love their hair. They give you the full service here: hair consultation, stress relieving massage, shampoo and condition, complementary drink, glossy magazines to peruse and sometimes a free facial.
Staff are friendly and approachable, and I always feel like I am spending the day with friends, rather than getting just a cut.
Hair stylists are identified by experience and performance, so you can choose a newly qualified stylist for a less expensive price, or a more expensive stylist to suit your budget.
My stylist always gives me a haircut that is on trend, but matches my style and personality, so I always get a haircut that looks and feels unique but modern.
They always send me a txt reminder when my next appointment is due, and if you show your rebooking card while purchasing any products in store, you get a 10% discount.
Naturally a place like this gets super busy during peek times, so it’s better to book appointments away from late night shopping times. It’s also recommended to re-​book your next appointment ahead of time to avoid the need for an urgent hair update.

Oscar Oscar Salon is part of a chain, but that doesn’t make it bad at all. Full of qualified and attendant staff– great at colour!
One downside is that there are many apprentice hairdressers working there, which means appointments can verge on being epic, you will always get water in your ears after a rinse (almost like going for a swim) and hair washes aren’t necessarily all that gentle.
It is not cheap… unless you love your cut and colour, it’s a bit of a bank-​breaker.
