The Rye Retreat (4675 reviews)

Comment

I enjoyed getting the head massage and the washing of my hair, the lady who did that was wonderful, very chatty and friendly. However, the hair cut itself was terrible the lady who did it barely said two words to me and actually cut it the opposite to what I had asked for. I ended up going back to my usual hairdressers 3 days later for them to put it right.

Sadly there was confusion upon booking the appointment. I am a regular customer, for over 2 years, so I really am saying this to try and help with future bookings at the retreat. There was clearly a training need for the member of staff who handled the initial booking as firstly I was told the appointment was at 2pm however I later received a call from another member of staff who then informed me that the appointment was booked incorrectly with the facial scheduled after the wash, cut and blow dry which was obviously not ideal and it was also only possible at 2.30pm. If I had received this message earlier I would have cancelled and rearranged the appointment as I was already pushed for time. However I don’t drive and I had already been dropped off in Rye by the time I received this call. This call was received just before the appointment time I had been told, 2pm. Further to this confusion when I arrived at the salon at 2.30pm I was then told that the appointment had been altered successfully so that the facial could be done prior to the haircut. I then waited for around 10 minutes until another member of staff came to tell me this had actually been communicated in error and was not possible. I love my visits to Rye Retreat as I have a very intense job and rarely get time to look after myself but always choose the retreat when I do have time. I really hope this survey response is helpful and I hope to return soon.
