Rhubarb Hair (1854 reviews)

Comment

One of the things I love most about getting a haircut is getting my hair washed and my scalp massaged. I have previously found that other stylists at Rhubarb take their time doing this and it is a nice, relaxing part of the process. However my current stylist doesn't really do a scalp massage at all, so it's a more abrupt, less relaxing experience.

The staff here are technically proficient and friendly. They greet you by name and are very welcoming. I have never found the seating arrangements particularly comfortable. The chairs have no footrest so for short clients like myself, it results in one's feet dangling if the stylist needs to crank up the chair to cut hair. I would prefer to sit in front of a table rather than in front of a full length mirror so that I can easily drink my complimentary coffee or read a book or magazine comfortably. Footrests should be provided. However, my main issue is that each time I have gone to the salon in the past few months, I have found the price of a cut and colour increasing without warning. My last visit cost $193 and I thought this was excessive.

It's a small criticism, but my partner (male) frequents Rhubarb and often talks about getting a head massage (which he doesn't like or dislike), but when I went I didn't receive a head massage, and I was really looking forward to getting one with my haircut.
