Best Curly Hair near me in Mackay

It was lovely to meet Skye while we were visiting Mackay. She gave a lovely curly kids cut to my 11 year old daughter, sharing her knowledge on how to take care of young hair. My daughter is very happy with her new hair.

The best hairdresser in Mackay. I have always struggled with my hair because not a lot of people know how to treat curly hair. My hair feels amazing thank you so much. Highly recommended and will definitely be back. All the staff are lovely best experience I have ever had.

My stylist was amazing from her beautiful welcoming smile to her amazing welcome relaxing neck massage. My curly hair cut and colouring made me feel like a million dollars. Thank you

Wow! What an amazing experience with Joh!! I have 3b curly, thick & unruly hair that was mid-back length & I was over it! Joh was nothing but amazing. I showed Joh a picture of what I wanted & I walked out a brand new person with a stunning hair cut. Thank you Joh, truly. It's the best hair cut I've ever had in my life. I can't recommend Avaia Hair and Joh highly enough. Book an appointment, you won't be disappointed, 10/10.

Lovely spacious salon, some really nice touches a wee neck massage just putting cape on. Hair wash station great with massage chairs. Alana was awesome, did a great cut. Looking forward to going back for some specialised curly treatment!

Wonderful experience every time I go! They have made such a delightful space of relaxation and happiness. So much to learn with the staff being both so knowledgeable and helpful. I go for my curly hair treatments and in-depth, targeting massages. They sell OCosmedics which I love, and so many different curly hair products for different types of hair! 🙂

Absolutely amazing!!! Very neurodivergent friendly. They explained the whole process to me and asked me if I had any questions every step of the way. I felt very valued and listened to. They even turned down the music so it wasn’t so overwhelming. Not to mention how beautiful they cut my hair. I’ve been wanting to try to get my curls back for a long time and they have an awesome package that explains it all! I’ll be going here again and I’d recommend everyone to go here too <3

Hey there! I had an amazing experience at the salon today. The girls there are super friendly, especially Sky, my stylist. I showed her a pic of the hairstyle I wanted, and she totally nailed it! I feel like I've turned back time by ten years! She also gave me some great tips on how to care for my curly hair and how to style it after chemo. And to top it all off, Emma gave me an incredible massage. Her hands are magic! Big thanks to these ladies for making my day!🌻🙏

I love the work Rochelle did on my hair, the colour is perfect and is exactly what I asked for! Rochelle is also lovely to chat with and spend a couple of hours in the chair with!

Highly recommend. This was my first time at Avaia Hair, had a style cut from long to a shorter hairstyle by Rochelle who did an absolutely amazing job. Loved the little complimentary welcome shoulder massage too. Will definitely be back.

How lucky is Mackay to have such a talented curly hair queen! Very grateful x

Highly recommend Avaia Hair Salon to anyone looking for quality hairdressing services in Mackay. I’ll definitely be returning!

So glad I’ve found a great hairdresser In Mackay :)

Another great cut and colour with Jo. She just gets me and my hair. Best hairdresser in Mackay 😁

What an amazing salon! From the moment you walk in the door you can feel such a great vibe! I had a fairly disastrous experience with a salon in Mackay, however Rochelle put me at ease straight away and did an amazing job with my hair! I can't wait for my next appointment!

Honestly the best hair dresser experience I've had in mackay. Thankyou so much.

Avaia Hair is my happy place. All the ladies here are lovely. My hair feels so soft and looks amazing after each visit. Overall, I’d say there is no salon in Mackay that comes close.

I had a great experience with Rochelle. Styled my hair exactly how I wanted it. I am travelling through but next time in Mackay will definitely come back

Fantastic. Skye has transitioned my long hair to my natural colour over 2 years and it looked great all the way through. I’ve never had so many people comment on the colour and style. Skye is the best hairdresser to cut my curls. She always sells me the best products to manage my hair and keep the frizz tamed! Thanks Skye, you are great at what you do!

Wonderful experience! Rochelle was amazing as usual and Izzy (so sorry if I got your name wrong) was lovely too. Both so gentle and wow my natural curls feel so amazing again.

Cassie was very friendly and honest that she wasn’t a curly hair specialist. She did a really good job

Sarah Jane did such a beautiful job with my hair! I was nervous to try a new stylist after mine moved salons, but she is so talented and gave me beautiful highlights that are very natural and soft. She was also so warm and welcoming! I definitely recommend her.
