Hey Guys,

First post here. This deal has already been done a couple of times before but has since expired:

You have to submit your details and like their page on facebook. They should ring you back (rang me back on the same day).

I went in yesterday and got a cut from them. They do attempt to sell you products, but you can respectfully decline and they do not badger (at least in my experience), they also will try to convince you to make another appointment (I told them I would ring them up). The cut itself was very nice and they include a free shampoo and condition (before the cut), as well as a small massage, and a hot towel over your hair.

    Ah I remember this. Kinda forgot about it and never crossed my mind to check if it was still active.

    It was pretty good - definitely worth it for free and if it's not too out of the way, but wouldn't pay the real price.

    • h4zey on 03/01/2018 - 16:17

      $89 for a hair cut, you might as well give them your ozbargain badge if you pay full price.

      • illumination on 03/01/2018 - 16:30

        And I didn't even know (and admittedly didn't bother checking the real price) when I made that comment..

        I assumed it would've been around $35-40 but $89 is absolutely absurd, particularly for men!

          Yep, as a true Ozbargainer I never pay more than $10 for a haircut. Usually get my haircut for $7 at Hurstville.

          @Aussie89:
          or buy a pair of clippers and cut your own :)

        • DuckKnight on 03/01/2018 - 16:45

          @videlity: or just grow a permanent manbun :)

        • Mr Idiom on 03/01/2018 - 17:30

          @Aussie89: Probably same place I do, just had it cut today. Cheap and efficient.

          @Aussie89: if its the same place they bump it up to $8 on weekends. Been stung in the past.

        • ozbaragan on 03/01/2018 - 20:32

          @Aussie89: Should do a gathering here of Ozbargainers because I go here as well.

          @Aussie89:
          I used to go there (back when it was $5) . Walked past other day and surprised its still doing those crazy cheap hair cuts.
          I got put off going there a few years back though tbh, after an current affair expose about how people were sometimes getting awful haircuts on the cheap, then having to go pay more elsewhere to try to fix it :/ .
          Hair doesn't really matter, nor do looks, but I have certainly noticed much more attention from the opposite sex after a good hair cut. Its a nice confidence boost.
          I honestly dont think I ever got a terrible hair cut for the $5 at Hurstville. They do ok there.

          @h4zey: whats the barber store name? just need a honest short and thin trim cut. sound good for $7.

        • jpee on 04/01/2018 - 06:52

          Hurstville $7 haircuts plus +1
          I timed how long I was in the chair once, 5min and 40 seconds.
          So good!!!

          @leehungfei: don't remember it, it's close to the train station (exit to westfield) it's on the walk path between westfield and train station (ground level)

          @eatwell365: only for the hair cut though

        • Thomas C on 04/01/2018 - 12:19

          @leehungfei: the barber store name is called 888 Hair Salon, and address is 1 Diment Way Hurstville

        • Munki on 04/01/2018 - 13:55

          @eatwell365: if only women will understand that.

        • Thomas C on 05/01/2018 - 11:09

          @sarahlee2201: They also opened one at Campsie but it's called 88 Hair Salon

        • AlienC on 13/01/2018 - 07:24

          @Aussie89: what's the cheapest one in the blue mountains and near a station? Am in Katoomba. I think local is around $35.

        • porkupine888 on 15/01/2018 - 09:26

          @Aussie89: please share details for us new to the area :)

      • eatwell365 on 04/01/2018 - 08:16

        expensive? what about Toni&Guy, but you can get a complimentary champagne as soon as you sit down.

        • daydream on 12/01/2018 - 20:17

          Easier for them to get you to accept the bill if you are under the affects of alcohol ;-)

    • ozibargainer on 03/01/2018 - 17:13

      In this instance Premium means 'absurdly overpriced'

    • Trishool on 03/01/2018 - 17:25
      +1

      A haircut that is so overpriced so that you can pay for their rent, utilities, stock, and employees wages, and still help them make a healthy profit.

    • peterw1 on 03/01/2018 - 19:12

      It’s like premium unleaded or premium dominos….., a cut above.

    • ozzpete on 03/01/2018 - 22:41

      Probably just called premiu
      1. Because they charge more and need to add the word 'premium' to justify extra cost.
      2. Because they wash your hair etc

  • Emerald Owl on 03/01/2018 - 17:01

    Why the hell would you pay to get your hair shampooed? Do you not shower every day?

    • illumination on 03/01/2018 - 17:22

      That's like asking why you would pay someone to clean your place….

    • uraha on 03/01/2018 - 19:28

      What's a shower?

      • aibargain on 03/01/2018 - 19:55

        When you stand outside in the rain.

    • daydream on 12/01/2018 - 20:19

      I always thought it would make more sense (be appreciated) for them to wash your hair after cutting it unless someone has really dirty hair.

    • porkupine888 on 15/01/2018 - 09:28

      i've always questioned that - perhaps they anticipate someone from say the #haven'twashedinmonths category to rock up with head lice & the lot? … they do that for women cuts too and i've often wondered if it was just a pamper exercise - i know "wetting of the hair" helps when cutting… so perhaps a great excuse to wet and wash and charge more?

  • wfdTamar on 03/01/2018 - 17:03

    They use proper British pudding bowls for the free premium cuts.

    • Trishool on 03/01/2018 - 17:26

      Do they have British pudding in them?

    • TechAddict on 03/01/2018 - 19:02

      Mmm… pudding…

  • Grandpipe on 03/01/2018 - 17:09

    I've done this before. You have to deal with a couple of follow up calls asking you to come back 6-8 weeks later. Nice place though. I'd be ok to return if it wasnt $90 price tag.

    • rake on 03/01/2018 - 17:21

      I didn't even get any follow-up calls, I'm offended.

  • D6C1 on 03/01/2018 - 17:46

    Well this is not fair. How about the ones that aren't as blessed on top?

    • PainToad on 03/01/2018 - 18:08

      Bottom hair cut?

      • D6C1 on 03/01/2018 - 19:22

        Not sure that would be appropriate though

        • ozzpete on 03/01/2018 - 22:42

          Maybe would help those with itchy bottoms

  • jpee on 03/01/2018 - 18:12

    I personally didn’t like the experience. About an hour start to finish.
    I’m a $7 in and out in 5mins haircut kind of guy.

    • DuckKnight on 03/01/2018 - 18:30

      Hour long haircuts? No wonder they charge so much.

    • dufflover on 03/01/2018 - 19:00
      +1

      Guess you'll love places like Singa's then. I remember seeing the barber signs saying they promise to cut your hair under a certain time thanks to their busy culture. Personally I'd rather they not work of a premise of rushing through time anyway. An hour is extreme for a typical men's cut though. An hour would be considered quick for the times I've known some girls being at the salon!

      Not that it'll matter soon courtesy of my genes …

        there's probably a XIaomi smart product for that problem coming on sale any day now

    • daydream on 12/01/2018 - 20:20

      Did they cut one hair at a time?

      • jpee on 13/01/2018 - 09:03

        It is what it felt like,

    so is there any cheap parking nearby that won't turn a free haircut back into an $89 haircut?

      You'd have to be mad to drive into the CBD. Catch a bus or train.

      • scrypton on 03/01/2018 - 22:06

        if you go over the weekends (esp. in the mornings) then there are ample street parking in the area as they are in the middle of high rise office building.

      You don't need to be disrespectful to get what you want sometimes. Just decline nicely and I'm sure they don't mind.

    this is a good deal. I completed the form this morning at 8:50, booked an appointment for 14:30 and Got a phone call at 9:20 to confirm my appointment.

    Walked in was offered a free drink. Got a wash, head massage, cut, wash again and dry. All FREE for real no obligations.

    They did try to sell you some expensive products but the staff didnt push it that much.

        Actually I got an email saying they tried contacting me, but they hadn't. I called them and they explained they were snowed under with bookings. I suggest if they don't call you, then give them a call.
