Ive been coming to SEC for years. Im someone who has a busy schedule and doesnt have time to plan so the walk in service is great and works for me. Im also someone who isnt phased about my hair so if there is an accident its no biggy for me. I find SEC the best SE I have used. The ladies always take care and help me achieve a good outcome when I come in with mixed coloured head and neglected hair.
Ive read reviews and honestly this is a walk in get fresh and go type salon. Its not a salon where you get one stylist, you could have multiple stylists working on you as its

I have been hesitating to colour my transitioning into the grey appearing
I had a very good explanation and guidance from Shadae - She took her time and did an amazing job - so happy with my hair - a bit pricey though
I was then transferred to Celeste chair and she had to blow dry my hair
she has done my hair before and Every time I have been pleased and happy with her results
So overall good professional effort from both Shadae and Celeste

I went in to get a colour done. I was not too happy with the result so Kristy Shadae and the team ensured that I left feeling extremely happy with the second outcome. Kristy totally understood my concern and was absolutely lovely. Will definitely be going back again soon. Thank you for being so understanding and willing to fix the colour for me.

Claire cut washed and straightened by hair at this salon. By far the BEST service I have ever received at a salon. She had a kind and friendly nature which made me instantly feel comfortable. Cannot thank this woman enough for her amazing service today!

I had a great experience at Salon Express Cockburn. Went in for a colour, cut and blow dry, leaving with results far better than I imagined. I am so happy with my treatment. Shadae was my stylist, who I fully recommend if you are able to request. She provided excellent professional service, and was lovely to chat to. I will be back for my touch ups
