Cheryl is Amazing! I was referred to Maxine salon by a stylist at another salon that refused to do my hair. From the moment I walked into Maxine the staff was inviting. I have very tight natural curls and my hair was not only dry, I had just taken it out of braids so it was quite the challenge. Cheryl did a fantastic job and her techniques are great. I have been seeing her for nearly 2 months now and I have not been disappointed. I have been looking for a new stylist for almost a year and I am sure I have found one! The conditioning treatments are great and I don't have a single apointment without one. I love Maxine Salon!

After hearing good critiques from my friends and Gold Coast neighbours about this salon, I decided to check it out because I was in bad need of a cut, colour, and brow wax. Getting an appointment was pretty easy and quick and they were able to literally do one service after the other with no wait times which is good for busy professionals like myself. The atmosphere was good and relaxed just like any high end salon. I think what's probably the most valuable piece of this particular salon is the fact that everyone working there has a great deal of experience (25 plus years) working in high fashion hair styling, and seems to listen to the very specific needs of each client, and does a very precise job. When it came to colour, Robert really listened to the fact that my main objective was to cover grays and at the same time get some highlights in the front, but nothing too outlandish being as I work in a conservative office setting--and he did just that. When it came to the cut, Cheryl also listened to my desire to get my very thick hair texturized and did a great job with the cut. It was the best cut I had in awhile. Jaime also did a great job at waxing the brows to where they are clean but not drag queen-like. The reason for four stars in lieu of five is the same consensus as what most have written on here- Price! More so in my case-- Most salons I have been to charge less than their standard cut/colour prices for mens' hair because it is (generally) less hair. With tip I dropped close to $300 here and ironically my credit card company even flagged my spending $300 at a hair salon as "suspicious activity" and originally declined the charges LOL (It was corrected with a quick call to a customer service rep who was astonished that it was in fact a legit charge) The last time I spent this type of money on hair services was probably in Paris at a luxury hotel salon. Don't get me wrong, I recieved outstanding service and an excellent cut/colour job, and living in the Gold Coast and doing most of my daily business in the neighbourhood am not one to have sticker shock, but think that the pricing needs to be modified especially if they want to attract a wider range of clients especially men.

I've had a few relaxers over the years because I have kinky, curly hair. I had a consultation with Cheryl Flagg, a stylist, to see if I can have another relaxer and she recommended a Keratin treatment instead. Cheryl was amazing! She walked me through the process, I scheduled the treatment this week and my hair has never felt more healthy, soft, and straight! No more frizz and unmanageable hair. The treatment was life-changing. I highly recommend Cheryl Flagg! Her services may be a little expensive than other salons, but having tried other less-expensive salons and more "junior" stylists, one gets what one pays for, and the customer service and results are worth it at Maxine Salon and working with Cheryl!

Sheryl was an artist with my hair. I have very fine, blond hair and she catered to my specific concerns. This was my first visit to the salon and I will be back even though i live in Rhode Island.

Yes! Yes, yes, yes! After a major hair crisis and 4 hours spent at another salon less than a month ago, I could no longer bear my ugly, drab "mousy" color so I called on a Friday night at 6:09 pm (they closed at 6:00) and low and behold, someone (friendly!) answered! She also said she could get me an appointment for the next day! I was beside myself with glee, and showed up early. Rex consulted with me about my mousy color and then got to work. We didn't chat much, but I was ok with that and got to relaxin'. He suggested either a treatment or a cut/trim as I had just had color and full highlights less than a month earlier. He found someone to cut my hair after he was done with his magic wand and then Cheryl gave me a trim, teased me about how long my hair was (she was just jealous!) and made me laugh the whole time. She also recommended products and treatments that would keep my long, lustrous hair in tip-top shape. They both gave me their business cards as I checked out, and then I emptied my bank account and went on my merry way, delighted with the results!

Love how bright and clean this place is...and the mirrors make you looks skinny, so what more could a girl ask for?!! Seriously though, Cheryl is the best stylist I've ever had. Love my keratin treatment and she rocks my cut every time. Couldn't be happier!!
