The Tortoise and The Hair

Love this place, Kylie and the girls are absolutely wonderful - friendly, honest, knowledgeable and experienced. Best hair salon on the coast.

I am so happy with the service I received from Rhoemi. I wanted to go as blonde as possible without damaging my hair or going overboard with price and the result was amazing. The colour and blending was perfect.

Couldn't be happier with my hair! Cintia was incredibly kind, attentive and took the time to understand exactly what I was after with my colour and fringe. She made me feel comfortable throughout the whole appointment and was genuinely invested in making sure I loved the final result. I left feeling so happy with the result and will definitely be back. Highly recommend ❤️

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and the service is always amazing, very experienced and friendly, and my hair always looks and feels incredible. Thank you!

Rhoemi was amazing, She took so much time (and patience) with me to go through my options and what expectation/goals I have with my hair She understood the assignment. 5 stars girly, thank you xx

spent quite a bit of time researching salons on Instagram to find the right style and colour I wanted, and I’m so glad I found this salon and Paige. She’s clearly incredibly talented at what she does. The blonde turned out exactly how I envisioned it, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I’ll definitely be returning. Thanks, Paige 👌

This is a really pleasant and airy salon on the corner of the Gold Coast Hwy and 19th Avenue, Palm Beach. (ignore google maps, it's not marked properly - just park on 19th Ave. There's a nice buzzy cafe next door too.) I got a last minute appointment with Paige for an urgent style cut and blow dry. It's probably the best cut I've ever had. Paige was patient and skilled and we had a lovely chat about our travels in France. I'll be returning soon for foils to highlight my fair hair.

I booked in with Cintia for a well overdue hair cut. The moment I walked into the salon, it felt welcoming and modern. I was given a drinks menu with a huge selection of drinks, which was so cool. Cintia did a fantastic job, and I’ll definitely be making another appointment.

Such a great experience, Rhoemi knew exactly what to do with my hair! Would definitely recommend

I recently went to Paige for a big chop, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly! From the moment I sat down, she was incredibly friendly and made me feel completely at ease. My hair tends to be on the frizzier side, and Paige was so knowledgeable about how to work with it. Instead of cutting too much straight away, she started a little longer and gradually took more off, making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I really appreciated how much time and care she put into getting it just right. She listens so well and genuinely wants you to love the end result, which I do. I left feeling so happy with my hair and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

really happy with my new hairstyle. Great friendly service.

Welcoming & spacious salon, with very friendly people. Paige did an excellent job of turning my grey into blonde. I highly recommend The Tortoise & the Hair.

First time here. My experience with Paige was wonderful, she used her expertise to gain my trust easily in getting my colour right , I walked out feeling a million dollars. Highly recommend. Strawberry Matcha latte was delicious too :)

Cintia did balayage on my hair today and was amazing! Great attention to detail, blending- I love it!

Absolutely love my hair! I booked in with Cintia after having a couple of bad experiences elsewhere and I am so happy with the result. The salon is great, Cintia is so friendly and really understood what I was after. Looking forward to booking in again!!

Walked in looking like a fresh caveman caught in the storm… walked out looking like a 90s vogue model! Booked a toner, wash cut blow dry special with Rhoemi, and she was seriously amazing! She took the time to get to know me and that beast I call hair, and knew how to tame it! She took the time to take me through recommended products for my hair type, and used it so I can see how they work. Highly recommend her and the team at tortoise and the hair 💪❤️

I cant recommend Cintia enough 🤍 She absolutely nailed my blonde vision! I wanted to go a slightly darker " old money" blonde and was honestly so nervous about the change. Cintia gave me such a thorough consulation, talked me through every step, and really helped me visualise what the final result would look like before we even started. I felt completely reassured the whole time. She added low lights and the blend was sp seamless and naturam, exactly the soft dimensional blonde I was hoping for. On top of feeling like I was in the hands of professional, Cintia is the loveliest person and made the whole experience feel calm, relaxing and enjoyable. I am so happy with my new colour and cut. I'll definately be returning!

My first time with Romi , and she was wonderful Working with my going grey blonde hair . Very happy and will be my new hairdresser . My daughter is her client also .

After what felt like an endless search for a true blonde specialist on the Gold Coast, I’m so happy to say I’ve finally found one. Liv did an absolutely incredible transformation on my hair while still maintaining the integrity and health of my long blonde hair which was so important to me. She took the time to listen, explain the process, and made me feel completely confident throughout the appointment. The result is beautiful, seamless blonde that still feels strong and healthy. I couldn’t be happier and rebooked my next session before left. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a blonde expert who genuinely cares about hair health and results.
