SISTER MARGARET'S

I booked a long haircut - restyling but ended up asking for a short chop instead. I was greeted by two wonderful ladies, Dani and Natalya, who made the experience so enjoyable! Natalya was the one who worked her magic on my thick, long, and half-bleached hair. Even though my appointment was only 45 minutes and she had another client waiting, she took her time to make sure I was completely happy with the result—she's like a hair wizard! I can’t recommend this place enough, not just for the fantastic hair services but also for the amazing vibe from these ladies and the charming vintage interiors filled with cool stories. It was truly a great experience!.

Absolutely brilliant! I’ve just moved into Yarraville and did my online research. Booked a haircut with Danie and am so happy. My thick shoulder length brown hair (which makes my head heavy) is now so much lighter after Danie weaved her magic - buzz cut underneath at the back and thinned out throughout:) Just brilliant. Love that you can book online too.

I’ve been going here for years - even after moving away from Yarraville! Friendliest staff, great vibes, great hair products and very reasonable pricing. Very communicative and suggestive in a non-pressuring way. I can truly relax when I go for my haircut because I know I’m in good hands! Honestly a godsend for those who may be anxious getting haircuts.

I read some great reviews and decided to get booked in with Cara, I had a very positive experience from start to finish and received great tips on how to care for my curly hair at home. Great energy at sister Margaret’s, wonderful staff members there :) x

There's pros and cons to this review. The pro is... Sister Margaret gets well deserved praise for keeping my hair looking razzle dazzle, A-MAY-ZING. The con is, everyone is going to book up the appointment calendar to visit this wonderful, down to earth crew who want you to step out feeling fabulous! My hair couldn't bear to be without this Sister in its life - so much so, I'm willing to travel from far, far away to visit every month. Thanks for the chair chats, the honest advice with what can be achieved, and your rad scissor skills.

I’ve had a few cuts at Sister Margaret’s and was happy with the outcome - very friendly and super affordable! However, my most recent cut ended badly. I requested a trim and a curtain fringe (and showed photos). I was getting a fresh cut before heading overseas for a few weeks. I came out with an uneven full on fringe that wasn’t even cut straight. It was awful. I made it clear it wasn’t right and referred back to the photos but to no avail. I was told that it would be the right length when I returned from my trip - not what I wanted to hear. I’ve now had to go (and pay) for a fringe trim in an attempt to have it fixed and the hairdresser noted that neither side was even and one side had been butchered. They did the best they could but admitted that it will take time to grow into the fringe that I requested. Very disappointing and upsetting.

Really like the gender neutral rate and online booking service. Natalia always listens carefully regarding requirements, (I have short grey hair but don’t want to be pegged by it.) Always friendly and efficient. Not far from train, yes worth the travel.

Natalia is a great hairdresser, she is knowledgeable, honest and makes you feel comfortable. I was really happy with the quality of my haircut. I was looking for a hairdresser that had fair pricing and there are very few places like Sister Margaret's that will you give such a great experience for this price ($68 for long hair restyle). I also really like that it's a barber shop vibe that is open to all genders and that pricing is based on time in the chair rather than on if you choose a "men's" or "woman's" cut. I'll be back soon!
