I love going to Motown, I go during my lunchtime which works in well, very little wait times. The ladies are always friendly and listen to what hair style you want. They also continuously check in with me during my haircut to see that I'm happy with what they're doing and are open to my requests. Very reasonably priced can't get a better price for $40-$45.

the worst haircut i’ve ever received, i asked for 2 inches off and with layers (i had long hair) she instead cut my hair into a long bob, with botchy layers, she cut off about 3 - 4 more inches than i asked. she didn’t double check with me if the length is what i wanted, she instead started cutting in the back, when she got to the front i realised how short it was. she also was wetting my hair, yet my hair has waves, so when it dried it was incredibly top heavy. she never made conversation with me either. i am not one to write a review, but this was honestly the worst haircut experience of my life and left me in tears.

I have tried many places around town mostly the high end salons as I'm fussy but I just cant find anyone who can cut thick, bouncy hair and get it right every time. Both Mary-Ann and Julia have proved to be professional and reliable every time.

If I could give it a 0 I would.
Glares and no greeting on entry, after 5 mins another lady walked in, grabbed her vape, glared at us and walked out again. Meanwhile myself and my partner are sort of thinking maybe we needed to ask for an appointment?
When the 'blonde' woman came bcak she was clearly agitated. I went to bring my son to sit down, and she gave me a talking to about not wanting him to cry coz it's stressful for her, and I straight up left. I can't get over how rude this woman was! My boy is pretty good on a bad day and he did let out a cry as I took his new toy to give to his dad. Well, that was it from her. No patience, no smile, just cold hard frost. So we just left without a word.
I have really enjoyed my time at motown, but I won't be going ten foot near that place again. Rude, rude, rude.

struggling to find a decent haircut anywhere in town. Been to Brothers, Bank St Barbers and now Motown. Take a look at my fringe - dont remember it being hacked away by teeth?
