I went to Coia hairdressing to book in with my usual stylists - and the only person I would trust to take my blonde hair to a rich copper - on arrival I explained who I was there to see and since she was with a client at the time, the two employees on the front desk suggested that, while I wait, I had a look through the different colours of copper they had available. We had a chat and before I could speak to my stylist I was booked in for the following Tuesday. I was surprised on arrival that the hairdresser I asked for was no where to be seen and I had in fact been booked in with a 21 year old student - who i've since learned, had only just received his colouring certificates - I explained I wanted loads of tones and shades of warm coppery colours. So, naturally I was expecting highlights and lowlights of varying colours (I was quoted £120 for this at the time of book in). Instead I received an all over colour slapped in from the root of my hair to the ends - I assume this was done to save them time, which pretty much sums up the quality of this hairdressers - the end result was a bright crass red at the top and carrot orange at the bottom. It was awful... and incredibly flat due to one colour being used all over (think box dye sort of look). To top it off, despite me saying several times that i wanted hardly anything off the end 'a cm or so'. My hair was cut about an inch and a half, taking my long hair to medium length. Finally I was charged £135 - so £15 over what I was quoted for highlights and lowlights (which shocked me as highlights would take a lot more time and talent than slapping one colour all over my hair). I was so embarrassed. Following this I reached out to the owner Angela... the response I got was hostile and she even went as far to accuse me of lying. A lot of the messages didn't make sense and she has since refused to respond to my emails. The amount of damage to my hair and the money this visit has caused me is enough to put you off going to the hairdressers in general.
Recently visited Coia hairdressing in Hyndland. Salon was expensive and professional looking and very friendly but value for money. Loved my new colour and style, booked in again for couple of months time!! thanks Jan!
