I had been lax and it was about a year since my last haircut so I really needed to get something done. I'm new to Melbourne and didn't have a clue about the first place to try regarding a good haircut. Encouraged by the reviews on this website and the place being close to where I work I made an appointment at Mink. They managed to fit me in the next day which was great - and their opening hours meant I could make my visit after work. The chocolate biscuit with my drink was also a nice touch. I had a rough idea what I wanted done but was open to suggestions from the girl who was cutting my hair, Luisa. Basing her opinion on what I wanted she suggested what she would do with it, which I was happy with. When I came out of the salon, I was really happy with what she had done (which I don't often do), keeping the length but giving it a bit of style. Watching her blow-dry it I even got some tips on how to wear it a bit differently from usual. The price was a bit more than I had expected, but she had put a treatment on the ends which I'm sure increased the price a little. I was disappointed that they didn't have a price list I could take home with me for future options (also for the beauty stuff), but was told they could give me a rough quote over the phone.
The Good:
I came out happy with the result.
The Bad:
A bit more than I had expected to pay.
