Cut Above Hair - Chermside

Staff are quite friendly, but really that's the only positive light I can shed. I was there for more than half my day off to get foils and a quick cut. In the past at other salons they have achieved this within 3 hours. I was at Cut above from 12.30 until the shop closed at 5pm and it was getting dark outside. Even after telling the staff I had a class at 5, there was no sense of urgency to get me out of there sooner. The color came out a lot lighter than I had hoped for/not what I want and isn't consistent the whole way along. I try my best to keep a happy face and positive attitude but honestly that was ridiculous 4.5 hours and $350 later I liked my hair more before I went in.

Came here a week ago or so to get my hair cut into layers as well as a fringe trim. Shenaya (I'm sorry if I misspelled her name!!) did such an amazing job with my hair! I couldn't believe how well it was done! I usually have trouble trusting others with my hair, haha. Not to mention, great conversations and interactions with all the stylists I spoke to! An overall great job at an unbelievably affordable price! Loved it and will definitely be back!!!!!

Excellent service, I loved my hairstyle. They were quick and the price was reasonable.I also really enjoyed the free hot chocolate that I was given while I waited for my appointment.

I’ve been going to this salon for years and always had a great experience. Shania is my stylist and always does such a beautiful job with my hair! She is always so professional and communicative about expectations and the outcome is always amazing xx

Super quiet and peaceful salon, So lovely to be able to relax. I explained I needed my hair thinned out as I’d gotten it cut all off at the start of the week at a different salon but they didn’t take the weight out of the bottom of my hair. I saw Enaya, she was extremely knowledgeable with curly hair, absolutely killed it and did a curl routine, defining and defusing! Couldn’t be happier! Such a reasonably priced salon with easy booking online! So glad I found Enaya!

Love the Cut Above Salon, everytime I’ve had my hair done it has looked amazing! I even had my extensions done and they were just what I wanted! Highly recommend this Salon as the staff are amazing too ✨

I'd like to thank Cassie and her cut above salon team for their excellent service. Cassie is so sweet and humble. I had three appointments with her; she carefully listened to all of my questions and made the most genuine recommendations. My first hair appointment left me unsatisfied. She listened intently and stated that she is willing to go to any length to fulfill my desires. I love my hairs now. She is an amazing person. I recommend everyone to go to this salon.

Thought I’d try getting a haircut here since it was a bit closer to me. Shania did my hair and seemed to listen to what I wanted, hair at shoulders able to put up in a low pony and light layers ensuring that I was still able to put all my hair up. I ended up with hair above my shoulders barely brushing them, one side longer than the other and layers so uneven I looked like shaggy. The initial shock at the length had me in denial that the layers she put in were that bad but after I washed my hair and removed the styling it was extremely obvious how uneven my hair was. Nothing was blended out so all you could see where just chunks at different lengths and because of how short my hair turned out, fixing it became a problem as I would most likely have to lose more hair and go even shorter. I was so disappointed and upset at this experience - what was supposed to be a hour haircut will now cost me much more time, money and hair to get fixed. If anything I am appreciative at Shania’s professionalism, after I requested a refund she was more than willing to oblige and offered a sincere apology. Unfortunately I don’t feel comfortable ever coming back but I wish the best for Shania and hope she can learn from this experience.

What an amazing salon! Tucked away on the corner of Gympie road, Chermside, Cut Above is a little salon with beautiful staff. I had Shania cut my hair and she did a wonderful job. There was a little bit of a wait at the start but, it is all worthwhile for the attention to detail and care that the staff take. Shania walked me through every step of the way and was so welcoming and friendly! I love how she also used tailored products for my hair that they sell at the salon so you can see how they work before you buy.Thank you so much for taking the time to do my hair and I will definitely be back in the future - Jess

Friendly staff and reasonably priced but that is as far as the positives go. The slowest wash and blow dry I’ve ever received. Advised when I booked my appointment of my hair length and that I needed to be out by a certain time for an event and was told that I would be out with more than enough time. My scalp was burnt repeatedly with the hairdryer. Definitely won’t be returning.
