Convenience & Modern Amenities (and a Few Considerations)
Operating from a home-based salon provides a unique, intimate setting. However, it’s worth noting the slightly higher price point compared to salons in Melbourne, a factor mentioned by one reviewer. Despite this, the quality of service appears to justify the cost for many.
Kincardine Hair embraces modern convenience with multiple payment options including credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments. They also demonstrate environmental consciousness through plastic bottle recycling. While the salon doesn’t currently offer Wi-Fi, the focus appears to be on delivering a high-quality, personalised service rather than digital amenities.

A Note On The Experience: What Clients Are Saying
One recent review offered valuable insight: while the overall experience was positive, the hair wash was described as “very quick”. This constructive criticism suggests a potential area for improvement. However, this observation is outweighed by the consistent praise for the staff’s professionalism and the quality of the styling.
"Friendly and lovely. But a bit pricey compared to Melbourne....plus the fact operated out of the house. Also the wash was a very quick one. But overall good blow wave. Thank you Skye, Courtney is fantastic. Highly recommend for waxing service."
