Matt is a fantastic colourist!! Honestly the best colour consultation I’ve ever had. The result was perfect – exactly what I was wanting. Looking forward to my next appointment!
Emma gave me excellent customer service. I work in service design and she nailed the customer experience to a tee. She was super knowledgeable, warm, funny and able to address issues with my hair that others haven’t. Knowledge of product and experience counts. She had it in spades.
I walked in enquiring and walked out spending more than I thought but my hair is looking fab.
Zucci South Melbourne team is friendly and professional. Francesco did a fab job in cutting and styling my hair. Recommended.
I have often despaired of finding a hairdresser that could handle my hair. Recently I had Julia of Zucci Ivanhoe give me a radically short cut. Hands down, it is the best haircut I have ever had. If you have thick, unmanageable hair, I cannot recommend this business highly enough. Even without product, the style is impeccable. Highly, highly recommended!!
Chontelle, who cut and coloured my virgin curly hair, is an actual God sent. She layered my overgrown (post-Corona) hair, applied a balayage and somehow nailed the exact colour I wanted. Their “welcome ritual” includes a vibe reading and some really good herbal tea. The pricing is upmarket, but the service is exceptional. Definitely would think twice before going to another stylist. Kudos to Aveda for their commitment to using natural ingredients and being environmentally conscious.
Steph is excellent! She knew exactly what she was doing and could sense what I wanted even though I had trouble explaining it properly. She also explained everything about the process and what suits me best. My visit to Zucci was really relaxing and fun. I only want Steph to do my hair from now on because I trust her skills 100% and I know I won’t be disappointed 🙂 I definitely recommend this Salon!
This lovely modern salon is very welcoming and surprisingly relaxing. Guilia is a very talented hairstylist who did a wonderful job of transforming my hair into exactly the style I wanted – explaining & confirming every step so I knew exactly what she was doing & why.
Extras like the lovely herbal tea & neck massage rounded off a great experience. There was no pressure to buy products or leave a review. Just very talented & genuine people.
Great haircut and service! Very friendly staff! Will come back!
Long time happy customer of Zucci.
I consistently receive Five-Star service at Zucci St James and highly recommend this salon for anyone looking for a hairdresser they can trust! Craig gives me gorgeous haircuts, working with my timeframe, budget and the many ‘example photos’ I bring in to explore new styles. Steph keeps my colour looking tip-top and works with me to understand and achieve the look I want. The salon has such a beautiful clean, modern aesthetic, the staff really spoil me and go above and beyond, and I always walk out of there feeling fantastic. Highly recommend!
I have been going to Zucci St James For many years and cannot speak highly enough of the staff, especially Craig who always cuts my hair so well. All the staff are courteous and friendly, the salon is always clean and comfortable, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great hairdresser.
My appointment was on Tuesday 24th November and ever since then I’ve been on cloud nine. I came in for a cut and my hairdresser’s name was Christina. She was fantastic from the time she touched my hair, to the end. I must explain that I am 77 years old and often I get treated like that, with old fashioned styles. She showed me a selection of what I described that I thought I would like to try, and I came out with exactly that. I’ve been getting nothing but compliments and I have been able to replicate the style after shampooing my hair myself. Obviously, I will be recommending my older and younger friends to try your salon.
Thank you so much for my brilliant experience.
