THERE are originators and there are imitators.
For more than 15 years, Istashi by Design in Belgrave South has been the yardstick by which all other hair and beauty salons in the hills measure their success.
Leading by example yet again, Istashi has completed extensive renovations to the salon meaning that complete hair and beauty treatments can now be obtained at this iconic location.
With state of the art equipment (including reclining massage chairs at the basins) and professionally qualified friendly staff, customers are taken care of in a relaxing environment which is 99.9 per cent odour and toxin free.
The skilled staff at Istashi by Design know that your hair is a statement about you and can affect the way you feel on a daily basis.
Salon owner Chris Monaghan is one of Melbourne’s leading contemporary hair stylists and his knowledge and “feel” for today’s colouring and style options (as well as traditional and modern expressions) make him an industry leader.
Istashi by Design’s 100 per cent Australian made and owned products are biodegradable/recyclable, providing effective manageability and long lasting effect at a very economical price while taking care of the environment.
The latest in solarium beds, spray-on tans, expert nail technology, colour advice, waxing and pedicures will have you looking good and feeling great in no time.
For those who require some inner pampering, Istashi by Design has a fully qualified masseuse who can provide traditional Thai, relaxation or Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage and Shiatsu.
Mums will especially appreciate the video monitoring of the playroom, allowing them to relax while keeping an eye on the kids playing.
Coming soon to the most innovative hair design and beauty salon in the hills will be a lounge bar and garden area for customers to relax in before, during and after their treatments.
Traditional, modern, individual: the Istashi by Design experience is a reflection of who you are or who you want to be!
Why not treat yourself?
Istashi by Design is at 162 Colby Drive, Belgrave South. Open 9am-6pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 9am-9pm Thursday and 8am-3pm Saturday. Phone for an appointment on 9752 5013.
