Manicures are done upstairs in this small, little space. The nail technician was not personable, upbeat or especially friendly. She also never asked how I would like my nails done, just simply did them as she liked. When I noticed my tips were looking more beige than white, I mentioned I preferred a whiter tip, and she simply laughed. When I repeated my preference, she remarked that she likes doing French nails in this way as it looks more like a natural nail. I'm sorry, but isn't it the customer's choice how they want their nails to look?? By then she had finished with them and she simply said, well, next time we will do them differently. I've Never been to a nail salon where they did not ask your preference for colors for French. I felt uncomfortable the entire time and will not be returning again.

The hair stylist was in such a hurry and was not gentle with my hair at all. This was a very stressful experience. My hair is very long therefor it takes longer to handle but I wasnt asked for this detail when I made the appointment. My hair needs to be conditioned before blow drying but this wasnt supplyed so I left the salon with my hair very frizzy & dry. I asked for a wavy blowout which was refused because they had no time.

This was my first time going to Cocoon and was recommended to go there by a friend, so I was optimistic that this was going to be a good experience. When I was at my appointment and speaking to my stylist I asked to have a long bob that was about shoulder length or just slightly shorter as I wanted to shorten my hair a little before the lockdown. The stylist was rather annoyed and initially refused to cut my hair as I needed to have had a consultation prior to my appointment, and that she needed more than one hour with my hair. I was rather taken aback as when I booked online there was no indication that I needed to have a consultation. She then seemed rather annoyed and cut my hair anyway, mentioning mid-cut that she was going to have to increase the price of the haircut (which was something I did not expect given that the stylist rates are on the website). She then rushed through cutting my hair, didn't ask me if I wanted bangs or not, and when she realised that an hour of time had elapsed she then rushed through curling my hair (the end result of the haircut was definitely not a long bob). She then left me in the chair covered in hair with the expectation that I was to quickly follow her to the cash register. When I managed to catch up with her (after a failed attempt at removing the large clumps of hair off my sweater), she had already punched in an even larger fee for my haircut and did not give me the 20% off discount for new clients (as advertised on their website). Overall, it was a rather expensive and disappointing experience, and I regret making the appointment in the first place. My hair looks even worse now, as there is clearly one side that is longer than the other, so I am keeping it hidden under hats until it finally grows out into a normal shape/style.
