I’ve been seeing Stella for many years, from her previous salon through to her own Salon now. What keeps me coming back to her is the consistent care she puts into every appointment. She takes the time to listen, pays close attention to the small details, and always makes sure the cut or style is practical for everyday life. I also appreciate the simple tips she shares to help keep my hair manageable at home.
A reliable stylist who genuinely looks after her clients.

I have been with Stella for years. She always patient and listen to my needs. She will give hair advices based on your lifestyle and make sure it can be easily maintained on a day to day basis that will suit your lifestyle. I love her because it is all the small details that she pays attention to, no matter is styling, haircut, color etc..People here also talk about the head massage..yes! Her head massage is even better than many masseuse that I have been..anyway, there is many good things I can say about Stella..but once you are with Stella, it will be very hard for you to go to other hairdresser as you will become very picky..Be aware of that!

I’m so happy I found Stella! I came into the salon needing a full reshape of my hair. I showed her some photos and videos of what I liked and she took the time to consult with me on what I liked/didn’t like about my hair and the inspiration I shared. She listened and paid attention to all the details. My cut came out exactly how I envisioned it. She’s beyond talented, very experienced, and friendly. Her salon is bright and clean. Highly recommend!!

I've been Stella's customer for many years, even prior to her opening her own salon - she always makes me look and feel my best 🌟

Stella is a professional who will be able to tailor the cut, wash and colour to suit you. My postpartum hair was in dire need of help and Stella was able to do just that!

As a customer, you can expect that Stella will genuinely listen to your concerns/ideas, suggest the process to achieve your desired look and watch as she expertly works her magic. She happily provides hair care advice along the way too!

Stella's hair salon, hair products and services are top tier. Look no further if you are needing a hair spa day 💁🏻‍♀️ The salon is clean, inviting and affordable. Stella herself is very warm and friendly.

Stella gets booked out very quickly, so make sure to book early to avoid any disappointment!

Stella is such an amazing hairdresser and human being! She is gentle and caring but at the same time always honest with her advice when it comes to hairstyle and colour.
She gives me haircut that seems to last for months but somehow still looks and feels good!
It is always such a pleasant experience with every visit to Stella Hair! I can't recommend it anymore highly!

Absolutely Amazing Experience!

I had such a fantastic experience at Stella Hair! From the moment I walked in, Stella was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. The salon itself is beautifully kept – clean, modern, and relaxing.

As a hairdresser, Stella really listened to what I wanted and offered great suggestions based on my hair type and face shape. The end result was even better than I expected. I have got the best haircut so far. Stella is such a professional and talented hairdresser.

What I appreciated most was the attention to detail, 1:1 service and how comfortable I felt throughout the whole appointment.

Highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for expert care, great service, and a little pampering. I’ll definitely be a back!

One of the best haircuts I’ve ever had. After a thorough consultation, Stella listened to me, provided her input and then gave me exactly what I had asked for. She was also upfront about the cost before the service commenced, which I was very grateful for. I am so happy with my haircut and blow wave! Thank you Stella x

I found Stélla in a Google search for a holiday haircut and I’m glad I did! Stélla is knowledgeable, and takes time to understand what you want before giving suggestions and proceeding with the cut. I love the style that she created…and the head massage was a winner!

I just had my first visit to this hair salon today and it did not disappoint! The environment is clean, well-maintained, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. Stella was absolutely amazing—she made me feel comfortable and at ease right away. Her professionalism and extensive knowledge of hair care and styling were truly impressive.

I showed her a reference picture of my favorite idol, and she worked her magic to tailor the style perfectly to my hair. The end result was beyond my expectations, and even my partner was blown away by how great it looked!

Thank you, Stella, for such a wonderful experience. I’m so happy with my new look, and I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Stella Hair for a while now and have always loved the results, but this time I left feeling really disappointed. I showed Stella a photo of the silvery, ash-toned hair I wanted, but she ended up making my hair a bright, blonde color that was far from what I asked for. I thought maybe it would settle after a couple of weeks and tried using purple shampoo to tone it down to the ash color I wanted, but it didn’t work.

When I went back to express that I wasn’t happy and still wanted the silver/grey tone, she offered to redo the toner but insisted on charging me $89 for a blow wave. I even said I didn’t need the blow wave, but she refused to do it without it, telling me, “this is my offer.” I find this really disappointing, especially after paying $500 for a color that wasn’t what I wanted in the first place.

The lack of care and customer service was shocking. I expected more, especially as a loyal client, but unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

I have been going to Stella for more than 10 years for my haircuts and she never disappoints. She understands how to frame my face and cut with skill. I recently had my hair washed trimmed and it felt amazing. Her scalp massages during the wash are the best with just the right amount of pressure. Overall, Stella is always attentive to my needs, friendly and highly professional which is why I keep coming back.
