If you’re searching for an award-winning hair salon in Canberra, this page is the receipt. Some awards are voted on by judges — this one was decided by the people who matter most: our clients.
The Client Experience Award is presented by Phorest, the booking platform behind tens of thousands of salons worldwide. It can’t be entered, bought or campaigned for: it goes only to salons whose clients consistently rate their visits as outstanding, measured across an entire year of real, verified appointments.
What the award recognises
- An average client rating above 4 out of 5 stars — sustained across a full year (March 2025 to February 2026)
- A minimum of 60 verified client reviews, each tied to a real appointment
- Ratings collected independently by Phorest after each visit — not hand-picked testimonials
For our team, it’s the most meaningful kind of recognition there is. Every rating behind this award came from someone who sat in our chairs — for a colour, a cut, a blow wave, a first-ever grey blend — and took a moment afterwards to say it was worth it.
What an award-winning salon in Braddon means for you
Nothing changes — and that’s the point. The same care that earned this award is waiting for every client, every visit: premium Wella Professionals products only, honest consultations, and a team that genuinely loves what they do. If you haven’t visited yet, there’s never been a better reason.
