I have been going to Zucci St James for several years now. The excellent, professional service from Craig and his team keep me coming back. Craig is a master at his craft and an excellent conversationalist. I have never stuck with the same hairdresser for such a long time, and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. The massages are also fabulous!
I’ve had some of the most outrageous, vibrant and stunning hairstyles thanks to Jess, Master colourist at Zucci St James. The whole team are so lovely and so skilled, it’s always a pleasure to spend time in the salon.
I was looking for a salon using Aveda hair colour and found Zucci and I’m glad I did. The space is modern and inviting. The staff is friendly and have good customer skills. They offer a relaxing welcome massage using delightful Aveda aromas.
A big shout out to Lauren for accommodating me for a last-minute hair appointment. From booking to finish, the entire experience has always been great. Highly recommend!
I have been going to Zucci for a few years now and have never walked out of this salon disappointed. Shakira is incredible at bringing to life the ideas I have for my hair colour, no matter how challenging my transformation requests have been. Ray Ray always does an amazing job with my haircuts. They always offer perfect advice to ensure my ideas suit my face shape and skin tone. Everyone at the salon is really friendly and lovely to chat to. Also, I love the extra touches I receive at the salon like the aromatherapy oils and neck massage to start, and the head massage and hot stone neck massage with my hair treatment make me feel completely pampered throughout the whole experience.
We started attending Zucci Ivanhoe many years ago – moved briefly to David Jones [which did not suit us] and returned to Ivanhoe. Agreed with Craig he would be our ‘permanent stylist. Followed him to the South Melbourne salon and then St James in the city. We have both very short hair, which is cut every four weeks by Craig. He is extraordinarily creative and artistic, our hair is styled differently every time, initially in consultation, but now we simply look forward to the next/newest creation. We have fun reporting the latest comments our hair receives from complete strangers who compliment us on the ‘awesome’ haircuts & styles, which we modestly refer back to Craig. We feel very comfortable at St James, enjoy our conversations with Craig, the attention of members of the team and being ‘part of the client family’. We look forward to this relationship continuing for a long time and [as ever] appreciate Craig’s artistry & exceptional professionalism.
Amy has cut my hair a few times now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The cut wears and grows out so well every time. I’ve never been to a hairdresser so regularly because I love the peppermint tea, the essential oils, the massage and a haircut that I trust. A little bit of special care and pampering so greatly needed in life. The service is outstanding.
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!
