Partners Hair Workshop

Love this nice relaxed salon in Glebe. Appointment started with a good coffee then Claudia gave my long hair a much needed makeover. So happy with both my long messy bob and great colour.

I change my mind about my hair regularly, I’m on a TV show and every season I like to have a little bit of a different look. I started going to Partners a year ago and I have not been happier. Owner Desiree listens to exactly what I want, chats with me about what my hair can achieve, and finishes with the most amazing styles and colours. The salon is beautiful, welcoming and comfortable. The other staff are so friendly and helpful. It’s great to see a bunch of hairdressers laugh and get along they way they do! I can’t recommend this salon enough. Also, the coffee is REALLY good!!!

I tried this place because of the high praise from Unilocal users and it exceeded expectations! I really badly needed a haircut and I wanted to try a different place and this was perfect. I was really satisfied with the job they did as they followed what I wanted exactly. I’m not a person to splurge on hair and beauty but I’ll be coming back when I feel like treating myself. P. S. I got offered tea and coffee while I was waiting… these guys are really welcoming!

Love this place. Savannah was fabulous, listened to me carefully and did a great job. Plus they throw in freebies (free treatment or product) for newbies and regulars. Highly recommend.

I tried this place based on the reviews on Unilocal and I was not disappointed. Tommy did a great job cutting my hair. He listened to everything I had to say and then gave me a haircut that really suits my needs. He also gives a great head massage!

On first arrival i was treated so well and when i made the booking i was so excited.
When i sat down and talked about what i wanted I was slightly dismissed and told that if i wanted a change and still wanted to keep the length it was virtually impossible and i would have to opt for a colour (ridiculous).
So silly me, thought okay, well she must know what she is doing. she took almost 5 mins to cute my CURLY hair and spent more time on the blow dry than actually cutting my hair.
I didn’t want to be skeptical so i thought well maybe when i wash it next it will sit really well. FAIL FAIL FAIL! my hair is more life less than it was before!
This salon did not meet my needs, listen to me or reallly even take into consideration my needs as a customer.

Choosing a hairdresser is serious business. About as serious as the first time you learn to drive. Or as serious as saying yes to a wedding proposal. I have tried many hairdressers all over Sydney but have never been able to commit to just one. I find most hairdressers pretend to listen to what you have to say and then cut whatever style they are used to.
I said no layers, miss.
Oh you said no layers? I thought you said four layers. Too late, my bad.
You can see my conundrum. Well that was until I was referred to Partners Hair. I made a booking with Joe (sometimes hard to come by) and prepared for the worst. But the moment I arrived («Would you like some tea, coffee, water infused with strawberries ma’am?») I felt a connection to the place.
Joe was wonderful. He was delightfully entertaining and all around chatty. It was like getting a haircut by your best friend. We talked about dancing, partying and our weekend hangovers that we’d been trying to put at bay, babies and boyfriends. I left feeling satisfied and confident in Joe’s handiwork.
Now I don’t go anywhere else. I generally make appointments with Joe but have also tried Wissom, who is equally friendly and just as good with the scissors. They have a loyalty card where every three visits you receive something extra (free treatment, free product or free hair cut) and they send you birthday specials via text message. Once I even received a message for a discount haircut because they noticed I hadn’t been in awhile (I’m lazy like that). If that is not true customer service, I don’t know what is.

I am a little funny about my hair. While I often indulge in pompous products and fancy styling (by which I mean, I take a straightener to it with reckless abandon), I don’t always put forth the same amount of care when choosing a stylist. When it’s time, it’s TIME. Most recently, I found myself with hair reminiscent of the homeless lady that patrols Glebe Point Road, and so I set out to find someone to remedy it. A short Google search later, I discovered the nearby Partners Hair Workshop and BAM, booked for that afternoon.
So first of all, they were doing a spectacular 30% off for first time customers, free deep conditioning special. What’s more, I was offered a glass of white while I sat down for my consultation (which turned into 2, I mean, right?). My hairdresser Max listened closely to what I was after, gave some good input and got to work chopping. He worked quickly and amused me all the while with his stories of big nights out on Oxford St.
As I slurped the last of my wine, he went to town with the blow dryer and about 5 round brushes to achieve the «bouncy» look. At the end of my appointment I ended up with a kickass haircut and a new possible best friend. It just took one wash to bring my 80s prom queen-​esque styling into the current decade but I must admit, the cut was a great one– well shaped, good layering and the perfect amount of fringe. Go see Max, he’s definitely a kick and the boy knows his scissors.
