Joey Scandizzo Salon

Nightmare Recommended by a industry Brand Ambassador I met first with a Creative Director, Practice Manager and (in title only) a Master Colourist named Morgan The brief - hairline touch up to mask the grey yet remain true to the natural looking blonde Fast forward weeks and the horror begins. Morgan influenced my decision to move from 1/4 head to half head to "better blend" the honey blonde base especially when choosing to wear my hair up 2 hours later I emerged with orange/passionfruit hair unbleneded greys and significant damage requiring 2 hair cleanses to reduce the damage of the colour and over toning. Morgan demostrated exceptional skills in "Not Listening", the Practice Manager failed to provide the 1st visit discount and I left with severely damaged passionfruit coloured hair 4 hours later Saturday required another visit to the salon and a further two cleanses in an attempt to mitigate the damage caused by Morgan Sadly, the Creative Director and Practice Manager continued to comment that they couldn't see how I believed my hair was damaged....let's recap - 1/2 head - depth stripped, over coloured, reduced to a passionfruit shade - cleansed 4 times and in no condition to have any colour work done for the next month to offset the damage It's a salon fading like the skills of some of the team - floors and gowns crusted with hairs, sissors left out across benches (OHS Anyone?), ceilings and walls crusted in cobwebs If your'e a new client, booked with Morgan - for your own sake consider a reschedule. At my request a refund was given but its of little consolation given the lasting damage to my hair.

There’s no salon in Melbourne quite like Joey Scandizzo. I’ve had several members of his team look after me, and I always feel like I’m in safe hands. They’re professional, passionate, and genuinely interested in helping you execute your hair vision. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and the products used are high quality - including those I took home! Whether you’re due for your biannual cut and colour or need styling for a special occasion, Joey’s salon never disappoints.

I booked in to get a haircut at Joey Scandizzo Salon. I was very excited. But, to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I asked for a one length/blunt cut and emphasised that I wanted it to be a straight blunt line at the back of my hair. I wasn’t too fussed how it looked when pushed at the front as long as it was even. I have some subtle face framing which I wanted to keep as it was. The stylist agreed to do what I had asked. When the haircut was completed and I saw the back of my hair, I burst into tears. The cut was in a kind-of U shape, and was not even at all. When I questioned it, I was told by the stylist that he wouldn’t cut a straight line at the back as that isn’t how he did things, despite me specifying what I wanted beforehand and him agreeing. My friend was with me, and stepped-in to reiterate how important it was for me to have it straight in the back but alas, it was too late. I walked out of the salon, after being charged $200 for a cut I was unhappy with, in tears. I went to another salon down the road to get them to check my hair and see if anything could be done. The lady there evened out my hair as best as she could, but I still have a U shape that I’m unhappy with. I feel as if my only two options now are to let my hair grow out until it’s long, or cut a bob. I am getting married soon and don’t want to have a bob at my wedding, so I have committed to growing out my hair and hopefully I’ll learn to love it again. The front desk man was very lovely and asked if I was okay at the end of the service, but I won’t be coming back.
