The haircut itself felt quite rushed, my hairdresser didn’t do any double checking so it’s a bit uneven in places. She missed a couple bits totally that I had to cut myself after. The haircut itself is okay, it’s just been ruined a bit by how uneven some parts are! Would’ve been a good experience had my hairdresser done a double check & made sure it was all even

Good hair cut but quite expensive even with student discount. Quick cut though. Felt like stylists looked down on me because I didn’t use the highest quality hair products and felt they weren’t the most friendly because I know very little about hair. Might use again, might not, will look around for best price.

On arrival, I was seated straight away which is rare and did not happen last time, however a junior nearly always starts my appointment by washing my hair. I feel that if you are charging stylist prices, I should have a stylist for my whole appointment. The young lady that washed my hair made no conversation and had a poor technique when washing my hair which is afro. This is frustrating as I expect to go to a salon and get a better service than I would receive at home. I was then sat at a station at the back of the salon and left with no offer of magazines or the next step to my appointment. When the stylist that I booked to be attended by came over, I then asked if I could have a drink as I had not been offered one up to then. This was made for me, but again I was left under the steamer with nothing to occupy me for the 20 mins or so, so sat rather bored and unable to move. I feel that the stylist never offers any maintenance or style advice unless asked, offering no professional alternatives or suggestions to the way my hair is styled. I was just disappointed in general, which is a shame as my stylist is very warm and friendly. We always have a conversation and I am made to feel at ease when she takes over, however I find there to be a lack of insight or professional advice in regards to my hair.

Very expensive for the work I had done. Not sure I could bear to pay that again.

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.
