I got my hair cut and coloured today by the amazing Casey at Rixons Pakington! Casey went above and beyond to help me to achieve my hair goals. The staff at Rixons Pakington are very welcoming and will do anything to make your time in the salon as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend Casey, and will be going back to see her in the near future!

My new hairdresser. I love them! Don't go to Rixons in Newtown by accident like I did, they don't compare at all. Service and styling is amazing at Rixons West Geelong.

I usually get my hair cut in Sydney and I'd have trouble finding service as good as Rixons, there. My stylist, Taylor listened to what I was asking for and made sure she understood. She then went on to discuss how we could achieve that. Sometimes in a busy salon I can feel pressured or patronised, but Taylor was friendly, informative and patient. I even received a call a couple of weeks later to make sure I was happy with the results, which I was. The salon itself had a friendly bright ambience and a little in store cafe area.
