Stellar Stylists & Service Experiences
Several reviews consistently praise the skills of Quattro’s stylists. Rhona receives specific commendation for delivering a haircut “exactly what I wanted”, encouraging repeat business. Another client lauded the “kindness, compassion and level of expertise” described as “unbeatable”, stating they’ll be returning for regular cuts. Fiona is also mentioned as a favourite, consistently providing ‘beautiful’ hair cuts bringing customers back for more.
One particularly moving review details a client’s first experience getting "me time" after having a baby, stating the five hours spent at Quattro were “the best 5 hours.” This highlights an ability to create a relaxing and pampering atmosphere. The enthusiastic reviewer described it an exceptionally positive experience.

Concerns Regarding Management & Technique
Despite the overall positive rating, notable complaints surface concerning management conduct. Multiple reviewers independently observed a manager exhibiting rudeness towards staff members, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. One reviewer felt the manager actively attempted to solicit their support, which felt inappropriate and further contributed to a negative impression. This behaviour is a consistent point of concern among several customers, overshadowing aesthetic experiences from the salon.
Beyond management, one client expressed significant dissatisfaction with a styling attempt. They requested ringlets and an updo, but the result was achieved with a straightener and a minimal amount of hair styled upwards, falling far short of expectations for a $100 service. The client felt they could have achieved the same result themselves and was disappointed with the lack of styling products provided.
Uneven Cuts & Dismissive Attitudes
A recurring theme in negative feedback relates to the quality of haircuts, specifically unevenness and a perceived lack of care. One reviewer received a trim costing $47 that was described as “dreadful”, with “short bits sticking and everywhere uneven”. They were hesitant to voice their dissatisfaction due to the stylist's “nasty way about her.” Another hairdresser subsequently confirmed the unevenness of the cut, necessitating a corrective appointment elsewhere.
This suggests a potential inconsistency in skill levels or a lack of thoroughness in some stylists' work. The reported dismissive attitude further exacerbates the problem, leaving clients feeling unheard and dissatisfied. One review states; "I didn't dare say to her I wasn't happy as she’s got a nasty way about her". The implication that some stylists are unable to receive constructive feedback suggests internal issues that are effecting clients receiving the proper service.
