TONI&GUY Paddington is a hive of exciting activity for both clients and students, as hairdressers fly in from all over Asia and Australia to experience the internationally renowned TONI&GUY education.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Feedback from 2009 - ref: Red Balloon Days

" One of THOSE difficult, hard-to-please haircut victims, I'm REALLY fussy about haircuts and am rarely satisfied. I know it says more about me than the cutter, BUT i was REALLY pleased with Roberto's cut (paddington). we discussed possible style in very individual way and it's one of the best cuts i've had. Very different to what it was, but it really suits me, and suits my hair. Roberto listened to my concerns and was very professional. Receptionist Diane and hair washer were all very good. At the end when it was time to pay and they saw it was a red balloon voucher, they commented that they want us to be happy!!!" 30/10/2009

" Amazing experience! Best Birthday present ever!! Unlike other professional salon's art directors , T&G's Art director listen to what i wanted out of my hair cut experience and gave advice and his suggestion accordingly. I would highly recommend this experience and Henceforth , T&G will be ultimate destination for my regular haircuts! Thanks!!" posted 26/8/2009.

" I felt like I was a VIP from the minute I walked into Toni & Guy. The same person analysed the best haircut for me, cut my hair, blowdried and styled my hair so I knew that the end result was exactly what the stylist had in mind. I came away with a haircut that I had never had before and which suited my face and lifestyle better than any hairstyle I had ever had. Toni & Guy were exceptionally accommodating with my having a baby with me and never made me feel like she was in the way. I can't speak highly enough of the experience that I had or of my husband who gave it to me!" posted 06/06/2009.
