Grace is just the best colourist I have ever had work on my hair! Shes the wizard of colouring and gives the best advice on what she thinks will suit you. I was admiring her work whilst I was sat with toner on my hair knowing which gave me confidence that my hair was going to look as great.

The haircut was good, and I could tell the hairdresser was paying attention to detail and to follow the training she had received. My only compliant is more in the sense that my hair is curly, and I said that I wanted to enhance them - my understanding from previous hairdressers is that doing so normally requires to do something more than just symetric (you have to kind of feel the curls). I wish the cut had been a bit more organic. However, I am sure that will come with time as the hairdresser grows more confident in her own skill:) I am happy with my cut!

Rhea (who cut my hair) was really sweet and pleasant. She consulted with me initially before my haircut and listened to what I wanted. I even showed her a picture of what I wanted, So, I am not really sure what happened, but the end result was not what I had requested. I had asked for a Angled Long Bob with a side swept fringe. I wanted the length in the front to be at least up till my collar bone. But in the end, I got a blunt short bob and the hair ends just below my chin, with almost no angles. My hair is already quite thin and pretty straight, so I’ve kinda lost most of my hair and was not bouncy enough or had any volume left. Nevertheless, its probably no fault of Rhea, as she is just starting out. So she has a lot to learn and after all it’s just hair, so it will grow out. But I wish, I had a better experience in terms of getting a professional hairdresser who understood what I wanted. This was my first time at ZL, not sure I will return anytime soon.

Unfortunately, after getting home, I realised the two bangs/layering around my face are completely uneven and not the same at all. The stylist was so lovely and really patient with me - as I was very unsure of what I wanted. But when someone pointed out over dinner how uneven my hair cut was, I knew it wasn’t just me.

Firstly I’d like to start by saying how lovely the salon is and all the staff were so lovely and accommodating to me. But I am really sad to say that I absolutely hate my hair :( I asked for full head highlights and was quoted £111 and I asked to be as blonde as the stylist could get me. The highlights were done- great! She then went on to apply a toner that I didn’t ask for and I was charged £166 at the end, an extortionate amount and I didn’t even have a cut?! I was not told about the toner before it was applied and I now have a muddy green/dark blond colour. I have been having my hair highlighted for 15 years and this is honestly the worst colour I have ever had done. It looks like I have applied a packet dye myself! No lovely blond highlights :( very disappointed, I didn’t want to make a scene in the salon in front of your other customers.

I asked the girl who did my hair that day, to make me as blonde as possible. For context, I am a light level brown from roots to just above mid ends, an off yellow blonde in the mids and platinum blonde on the ends. The girl say that she could absolutely make me blonde but I now have weird highlights across my head with the mass majority of brown still at the top of my head, the weird colour in the middle and then platinum blonde on the end. The girl stated that she would give me face frames and I asked if she could make the blonde pop around the circumference of my hair line so that when I have my hair up for work, it would look crazy blonde. She said she could do this. I didn’t receive it. She also said I didn’t need a toner and that purple shampoo would get the awful mid colour from my hair out. I have already been using purple shampoo for the last year and it has done nothing. I needed a toner and she said I didn’t and when paying for my hair she said that I was saving money not having a toner. My hair is not nice to look at, I hate doing anything with my hair because there is just no change in it whatsoever
