I have been twice recently for a short layered haircut (think Bixie) and my experience has been perfect. It's great feeling good about your hair, and feeling trust in the stylist to get it right. Hope it stays affordable here

Best hair cut I’ve ever had! Charm is a magician! I feel myself ❤️ Atmosphere and staff are all love love lovey. Honestly deserve 10 stars!
Mamawest has earned the hype. Thank you to Charm, Mars, and Honey for taking care of me during my first haircut in 7+ years. Charm really listened to what I wanted and focused on long term hair care rather than expensive treatments! Thank you my darlings and see you in a few weeks 🥂
Second cut with Uncle West and first time colour with Bestie West. Uncle West is an absolutely incredible cutter, he is crazy skilled. He is such a nice person and so easy to chat to. He doesn’t rush the appt, asks heaps of questions and shows real attention to detail in his work. Gives the best head massages too! Uncle West also does colouring and he was bang on with matching and applying my hair colour. This appt I had Bestie West for my colour application. What a breath of fresh air she is. Fantastic, precise colourist who is great company. Definitely happy to see Bestie again! The salon has a very relaxed, welcoming vibe and they are obviously all about going that extra mile for their clients. Super impressed so far by my own experience, other cuts and colours I have seen there and already wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them :)
Wonderful, welcoming service as always! My curly hair is in good hands every time I come here

It's easier to summon a demon than be removed from their mailing list

Hey Outforawalkb! Sorry to hear you are having trouble removing yourself from our mailing list. We are more than happy to help you out here. As we can't identify you from your google username, are you able to send through an email to [email protected] so that we can look into this for you.
Love my new hair. I gave Uncle west a brief and he completely understood (better than I did myself). I left the salon this morning and have lad a beautiful day making hand made silk flower pins to adorn my new locks! If you have floated from hairdresser to hairdresser and never quite happy or inspired by the result, Mama West is the place to go. Thank you Tom for knowing my hair better than I do and being just so wonderful throughout. Ps: Shout out to whoever made me a massive pot of tea with scorched almonds and Oskah for such an inspiring conversation about life, purpose and justice.

Thank you for this lovely review Cara! You're a delight to have in the salon please keep coming back!
I was well looked after by SpicyWest!! She fixed up my fringed bob with lots of TLC alongside taking the mission seriously! Everybody in the shop seems friendly and nice. Complimentary drink and snack was an easy brownie point! 😊 I definitely recommend!
Response from MAMAWEST
We're so glad we could provide the TLC you were in need of! Thank you for your review :)
Thank you Mars for the cutest haircut ever and for brining my curls to life!! :) The salon is beautiful and my experience was super positive. Highly recommend!!
Response from MAMAWEST
MARS is such a diva! We're glad you came in!
Went in for a restyle with Mars, a student, and had a great experience. Hadn’t had a cut in over a year and wanted something new, and she absolutely smashed it. Lots of great advice on styling in addition to a great cut that made me feel very good trying to a new style that felt ambitious. Four different stylists came and helped out by the end of it and all of them were lovely and knowledgable. Will definitely be headed back!

You rocked the new look! We love using teamwork to make the dream work! Thank you for your review :)
First haircut experience in Australia… and honestly, very disappointing. The salon asked to reschedule my appointment, but the new time didn’t work for me. When I asked for my $50 deposit back so I could book elsewhere, I was told it couldn’t be refunded and could only be used for a future appointment. I understand policies, but I expected more empathy !Especially since I didn’t request the reschedule.! I went to the Salon at the end and the haircut itself? Let’s just say…😭 Add: How come you replied that you cannot identify my booking since you just messaged me wanting to make things right for me. Yes, you are the one who canceled my booking. I got all the proofs email, message etc. and Yes, you didn’t show any compassion. Thank you 🙏
Response from MAMAWEST
Hi there, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience. We’ve had a look through our system but unfortunately can’t identify your booking from the information provided. If we were the ones who needed to cancel or reschedule your appointment and the new time no longer worked for you, we absolutely believe in showing compassion and would want to refund your booking fee in that circumstance. We’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into what happened, including your experience in the salon. Please send us a follow up email at [email protected] with your details so we can investigate this further and hopefully make things right. 🤍

Response from MAMAWEST
Shout out BESTIE!! thank you for your review :)
I’ve struggled to find a hairdresser for many years as I used to be one myself that could cut my hair the way I’d ask I was recommended by someone on Instagram when I posted on my story I had Charm cut and style my hair and when I looked in the mirror o was so shocked I cried, yes I know a tad OTT but I was so shocked at how amazing my hair looked! He’s amazing!
Response from MAMAWEST
Sorry not sorry we made you cry!!! CHARM is amazing and we're so glad you got the chance to see it! See you soon :))
Had my hair cut here this week and they were great! Friendly and professional staff and a relaxed environment to get a hair cut. I often find salons a bit pretentious but not here. They listened to what I wanted while also making their own suggestions along the way and I ended up very happy with the outcome. And I could bring my greygound in to chill out while I got my trim! The offer of espresso coffee and sparkling water was the cherry on top of a great experience. Can highly recommend.
Response from MAMAWEST
Thank you so much for leaving this review. We're so glad we could offer a grounded and relaxed experience for you and your beautiful greyhound. Hope we see you both again soon!
Such a great experience for my first appointment at MAMAWEST. My stylist was Unclewest who was super friendly and welcoming. He had an excellent understanding of what I wanted and gave me a brilliant cut and colour. Also lots of great suggestions for styling, hair care and future colour ideas. It was an all-round fabulous experience in a friendly professional setting. I’m so happy to have found this salon!!!
