“Always an excellent result at Salon Lio. Katy listens and provides a wonderful service and my colour is exactly what I wanted without knowing what I wanted. A relaxing and welcoming experience each time.”

“Cristiano is a talented stylist and always understands what I'm after and delivers an exceptional experience. The staff are kind, polite and go that extra mile to know their clients.”

Meaghan

“Jade is the best! I told her which hairstyle I wanted and she nailed the brief. I loved the hairstyle from my first visit so much that I asked for the same style on my second visit. The salon had a really nice and relaxing atmosphere too, perfect for some me time. The quality truly stood out. We’ve already recommended them to others.”
