Relocating from Durban, i found it very difficult to find a hair salon that is both reasonable and trustworthy. After my experience at The Backyard Hair Salon, i'm SO HAPPY. Cameron, was friendly and so gentle with my hair. I felt very comfortable at the salon and she was so generous with tips about hair care and products. The furbabies were my favourite part!

Malusi was incredible. He did a perfect job trimming my hair ensuring an even cut all round. My beard was trimmed with surgical precision and I'm thrilled with the final result. The massage was great and sorted out all my knots whilst Malusi gave me some tips for stretching and better muscle health. All round 5 star experience, I'll definitely go again.

I get very nervous whenever someone new has to cut or colour my hair. Luckily I found Jannine and her cosy salon, where I felt completely at home. Enjoyed the resident doggy Buddy, he was very friendly and polite. Love my hair, thank you Jannine for taking such good care See you soon. Xox

Izelle from Kink Hair is a master of her profession. It is extremely rare to find a stylist, like her, who truly understands the science and technicality of hair colour and styling. Izelle worked her absolute magic to correct a really bad highlighting job I got somewhere else, with an end result that left me beaming. From the moment I arrived I felt confident that she knew exactly how to give me the result I really wanted. The experience at her salon is welcoming and professional. I highly recommend her salon.

Lee, as always, is absolutely amazing and thorough. I walked into the salon extremely stressed from work and walked out relieved - it's like she know just how to assist one in unwinding. With regards to my treatment, I walked out a new woman. Post my braid removal my hair was thick and dry, but Lee worked her magic in having my hair smooth and sleek again. She's the go-to!!!!

My kind of place with the purple colour. I received the royal treatment. Even though I was running late, they waited and did the hair treatment which lasted way past their closing time. I highly recommend this place.

Hair Colouring FAQs
Having your hair colored by a professional colorist should cost around ZAR 580.
Anything from 2-8 hours depending on what you’re having done and the condition, length, and natural color of your hair.
Your complexion, eye color, and your personal style. Some hair colors can make your skin look dull, so choose a shade that will complement your skin tone. Consider your eyes, too. Many stylists contrast hair shades with eye color to maximise the effect. And think about your style, too. Do you want to be noticed, or blend in? Whatever shade you choose, make sure it’ll make you feel comfortable and confident.
Yes. Both chemical and natural hair dyes can affect the proteins and lipids in your hair, damaging the hair shaft and making it prone to breakage and loss. However, there are plenty of hair-health tips to help you keep your dyed locks looking rich and luscious.
Yes, but you should wait for a few weeks after initially dying your hair before you dye it again. If you want to lighten your previously dyed hair, either use a ‘lifter’ to help clear your hair of color or wait 8-10 weeks before redying. Lifters are invasive and can cause damage and thinning, so we advise getting this done at a salon.
Before you aim that bottle of color towards your scalp, you’ll need to carry out a skin test - it’ll help determine if you’re going to have any allergic reaction to your dye. You’ll need to do this at least 48 hours before you dye your hair. If you don’t have any negative reactions, you’re good to go. Dye instructions will vary according to the brand and color you’re using, so be sure to follow the instructions provided in your kit. In brief, you’ll need to mix the color and developer in your kit, apply it to your dry hair starting at the root, wait for it to do its thing, rinse it out, massage in the conditioner that comes in your pack, then rinse and style your hair.
