Client Love

  • “Highly recommend Cuba St Social. The vibe is incredibly laid back and you can see they've really made an effort to make the waiting area super relaxed and casual (sofas, coffee table, magazines)... Makes waiting so much nicer.

    The actual place is incredibly spacious as well, which makes a big difference (imagine there is nothing worse than having to step over everyone when cutting hair).

    And of course, the cut was as good as it always is (for a very good price).

    Hidden gem.” - Aaron Mitchell
