Sebastian was great, thank you!

I went in for an academy service with a trainee for a full head colour and blow dry. The apprentice was very attentive, and though she seemed a little nervous, she put in a lot of effort into the colour application, wash, and blow dry. The trainer was kind and helpful to the trainee but didn’t attempt to speak to me much. She asked about the colour I was after and that was it really which is fine. Despite my want to go more of a natural copper, deeper rather than bright, my hair came out incredibly bright. I’m hoping it will fade somewhat after a couple of washes. It took a while, which I was expecting as it was an apprentice service, but I’d have liked to have a drink or something as I was there for the best part of 5 hours. I was offered one on the way in and that was it. Little things like the offer of drinks or even a break go a long way especially as I have ASD, which I specified in the booking and prior to the appointment when I had a patch test. It can be an overwhelming experience but the apprentice did a great job and was very understanding of the fact I didn’t speak very much during the appointment! Overall, i’d go again armed with some beverages of my own and maybe insist on a break or something in between, and I will arm myself with a better photo reference of the colour to account for any misunderstandings!

Sebastian was lovely and did my hair exactly how I wanted. It was my first time going to a salon in years so I was a bit nervous but he was professional and attentive. The other staff were friendly and the salon had a nice atmosphere l. Would definitely recommend, and will be back. Thanks for the haircut!

Another great experience at Nicky Oliver's. Klaudia has been doing my hair for a while now, and is always friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. She understands my hair, listens to what I want, and talks me through how we can achieve it. The other staff are great too and super friendly. Thanks again!

Salon was clean and tidy, Jenny cut my hair to perfection - couldn’t be happier, she also gave me advice and told me I could book even a consultation if I wanted to come back to get my hair dyed which I definitely will!! 10 stars, amazing :)

I didn’t really feel that my hairdresser understood what I asked for. She wouldn’t cut my fringe as short as I wanted (I asked a couple of times before I just gave up and wanted to leave) so I ended up buying some scissors to do it myself because it literally looked the same as when I went in. Also she asked how I wanted it styled and I explained that I have really thick and straight hair, so there’s not much point curling it because it would drop out, she assured me it wouldn’t but of course it did very quickly. Also I had to wash it again the next day because it had already gotten greasy, I don’t know if that’s because of the products she used but I would usually expect my hair to look good for at least a few days after a haircut. Overall I was really disappointed and won’t be going back.
