This has been my hairdresser for many years. It is a nice salon, very popular with both women and men, with a very friendly owner, desk girl and a creative bunch of hairdressers. They use L'Oreal products

I've never had my hair cut here, but I've had my hair coloured hundreds of times here with great results. In fact, I have always got compliments on my hair colour. The people at Hemisphere know their gild and do a great job at getting your hair looking beautiful and natural no matter the colour you choose. Some of their stylists have got national awards representing the salon, so they are very good.

I have heard people saying that Hemisphere is very expensive. That is true for haircuts, especially if you just want a trimming or simple layers. However, average salons in Perth, with poorer service and quality, demand the same fees for colouring. However, Hemisphere has a reward points system, so every time you pay, points are accrued to you, which then can be exchanged for a discount when it suits you (You can save them for months or use them next time).

The main down of the site is the same you find in most hair-salons, that stupid nonsense of a talk, that they keep asking you the same questions over and over for years without even listening. That you reply to their questions and they have already stopped listening when you started to say Ahhh. Having said that, it is up to the individual stylist, and some are more genuine than others.

Another problem is that sometimes you book with a specific stylist, directly, with his/her diary and mine at hand, and next time you go he/she is attending to another person while you are given somebody less experienced, and they make mistakes but you are still fully charged. Also they don't give you a receipt unless you ask for it. Both things are a big No no no for me. No no no!

I don't go that often now, as I don't like being taken for granted, but, to be honest, they offer a good service, use good quality products and you get your colour properly done.

They have a website from where you can book your next visit online.
