“I never thought that I would be so fortunate to
have chosen, by luck, such an incredibly
 professional and friendly salon”

I wanted to email you and extend my appreciation for the amazing service and friendly atmosphere of your salon. I am currently on holidays here in Townsville (from San Francisco) and will be moving out this way after Easter. I was in need of a haircut and wanted a change (my hair was quite long) and obviously being an out-of-towner, didn't know of any salons in the area. I found your website online and thought I would give it a shot.

I never thought that I would be so fortunate to have chosen, by luck, such an incredibly professional and friendly salon which I now know will definitely be 'my' salon once I move here in April.

The girls were unbelievably nice and friendly and so knowledgeable. They listened very closely to what I wanted and even more importantly, I felt they UNDERSTOOD what I wanted...something I haven't experienced too often when getting a haircut let alone when trying a new place for the first time.

Charlene cut my hair from my long layered style (middle of my back) to an exact copy of a photo I brought in of the short trendy Nicole Richie bob. I absolutely LOVE it!!! She made me feel completely at ease and was very easy to make conversation with.

Nikkie (and Cassie finished) performed a treatment on my hair that has left it softer and shinier than I ever thought my hair could be. Both girls were very friendly and I appreciated how they explained what they were doing, what products they were using, and what each product was supposed to do for my hair.

I have never left a hair salon so happy, feeling appreciated and actually excited for my next appointment. Thank you so much for such amazing service, and please pass on my appreciation to your staff.

I was also wondering- Charlene and Nikki took before and after photos of my hair 'transformation' and if possible, I would love copies. If you can, would you be able to email them to me.

Thank you again! I look forward to returning in April!

Much Appreciation,
Rachelle Morris

“Total Experience rather than a 'Trip to the Hairdresser”'
An appointment at Emphasis is a total experience rather than a 'trip to the hairdresser'! Professional attention in a relaxing environment. Great ladies!

“I Always Recommend You to Everyone…”
The girls are really nice and helpful. They won't do something to your hair if they think it's totally wrong for you or your hair's going to fall out. I've always found you all very helpful and feel sad when one of you leaves. Always recommend you to everyone. Thanks!
Karen Koeman, North ward

“See the Girls at Emphasis!”
See the girls at Emphasis as they have this 'positive energy' which reflects in the way they deal with their clientele. They listen to you and give professional advice on what would be best for you and your hair, whether it's a cut, colour or treatment. They itemise your account so you know what you're up for before beginning. The coffee and chocolates are a real treat. You definitely feel pampered when you leave.
Ellen Lindo, Kirwan

“Spend time to listen”
Outstanding Service. They spend time to 'listen' to what you want, give you good honest advice about what can be achieved and how long it will take. Always on time and very accommodating and of course the very, very friendly approach.
Paula Bacchiella, Castle Hill

"Very Professional"
Go There. Every staff member is very welcoming and very professional. They will listen to what you want and talk about it before starting. The massage chairs are great too.
Marlene Hood, Townsville

"Feel Important"
How they go in to detail when they're talking about your hair is a great feeling, it makes you feel important. The girls are lovely and bubbly. I would recommend anyone go straight away. Thankyou.
Laura O'Neill, Deeragun

“Chic in Décor”
At Emphasis, the 'emphasis' is placed on understanding your hairdressing expectations and making the special effort to meet all your hair needs. The stylists are well trained in all aspects of their technical work like cuts, colours, styles and product knowledge. Their interaction with you is one-on-one so you feel the appointment is tailored to meet your current hair needs. They offer suggestions and listen. The salon is chic in décor and there are many small personal touches that make the difference, like the fabulous massage chairs.
