Refreshingly different experience

Emma
31st Jul 2015
5.0

I've struggled to find a decent salon locally having been super happy for years before moving.

Plenty of locals can recommend where not to go! Then recently a friend sent me to Danny here. Finally I believe I've found someone who seems to know what he's talking about. He introduced himself, took time to understand my lifestyle and talk through my expectations whilst being reassuringly knowledgable about my limp hair type and what to do with it to make it look good.

I haven't had my colour yet but feel very confident that I'll get what I've been looking for. The staff I met were friendly, the wash seats are comfy, coffee good and overall a very pleasant experience.

Help at last for thinning hair problem

Goldilocks restored
31st Jul 2015
5.0

Major surgery and three stone weight loss resulted in brkken and thinning hair which was making me depressed and unhappy. Georgie and Danny were reassuring and sympathetic and suggested Nioxin and clip in extensions which instantly transformed my sad and sorry locks into something resembling my former crowning glory prior to surgery - long and thick hair which is such a close match nobody can tell the extensions are not my own hair. I cannot thank them enough or speak more highly of this salon. If, like me, you are suffering from post operative hair problems, don't hesitate - go to Simone Thomas and you will leave feeling 100% better. I will definitely be going back - its worth the car journey and every penny.

Simon Thomas first time experience

After doing online research about best local salons for highlights I decided to pay a visit to S THomas salon.
I called them, spoken to their booking lady and explained what I wanted for my hair and told them my hair length. I was quoted £75 for highlights and £40 on top if I wanted cut and blow dry as well. I informed her that I only required highlights bi no hair cut or blow dry. We agreed.

Unfortunately, it was a rainy day and I arrived a bit late. Stylist Danni kindly agreed to do m highlights despite my lateness.
We agreed on colour and he performed his art on my hair. It took longer than I expected. We started at 2.30 he was washing the colour of hair at 5.30 but it didn't matter a so was flexible.

However, he told me that I am not allowed to leave the salon without blow dry at least. I told him that I agreed on the phone that I only required highlights but he insisted as he wanted to see the colour properly. I informed him that I ad tight budget and wasn't prepared to

Danny took on board my thoughts but also offered some great ideas, which I wanted. What he said really made sense and he really took the time to establish the cut he was going to deliver and he definitely delivered!!! The best cut I've had in a long time and a lovely experience to boot. I felt very at ease.

Scalp Dermabrasion and Consultation

Louise
29th May 2015

I had a consultation for thinning hair and hair loss with a really helpful lady (sorry I couldn't remember her name!)

After 2 years of doctors, dermatologist and trichologist appointments I was finally given a very thorough examination and was talked through what she could see clearly. She recommended a scalp dermabrasion and a programme of Nioxin and booked me in. She explained I had a sever build up of sebum on my scalp, which could have been contributing to the pain and inflammation I was experiencing with the shedding/thinning.

I had my dermabrasion the following weekend with a lovely lady called Georgie. She was brilliant, very friendly and really put me at ease. She knew from my consultation I had an extremely sensitive scalp and was very gentle throughout each process.

Everyone at the Salon was so so friendly during my visit and joined in amongst customer conversations. Nothing felt like too much trouble.

I had my treatment upstairs at the salon, which felt nice a

I came across Simone Thomas when I was looking for a salon after my previous hairdresser stopped doing hairdressing. My first experience was really good. I had my colour matched and also had a trim and blow dry. All came out exactly how I wanted it. Kim, who looked after me, was very professional ( head massage was soo relaxing I almost fell asleep) and also very friendly. I would definitely recommend Simone Thomas salon to everyone looking for a quality experience.

Waxing at Simone Thomas Salon

Gem

This was my first experience at the Simone Thomas Salon and it was very positive. I was booked in for a waxing appointment and was greeted by Kelly at reception. She was friendly and very welcoming and let me know that she would be doing my waxing. It was the best and least painful waxing experience I have ever had. Visiting other salons I have been left very red and/or bruised and assumed it was just how I reacted to waxing. That did not happen to me at Simone Thomas, I was left with smooth skin and hardly any redness at all. I will definitely be returning for future appointments and would recommend them to anyone.

My first time experience at Simone Thomas Salon, was absolutely stellar; the staff were friendly and welcoming and the Salon itself was easy to find.
Agnes was really helpful with regards my nails getting done for the first time acrylic; she offered helpful advice and suggested designs and colours for me which I must say, I was really happy with. Considering I'm a student, the price itself was certainly affordable.
The experience overall was worth every single penny.

After walking past I really like the look of the salon so I walked in and made an appointment. it looked very inviting.
I am very anxious and nervous getting good my hair cut but really enjoyed my visit and very happy with my cut. Kim took her time to understand what I wanted and felt like she took her to be to make sure I was comfortable and was happy with the cut.
I only have two very small don't want to say negatives but niggling views. I did notice a drink station with a selection of drinks but was not offered anything. Either when I was waiting or during my cut, would have been a nice touch. Also the price although not too expensive I did feel £42 for a wash and cut with no additional hair products used a little expensive.
Although saying that I will definitely return, be asking for Kim again :) and will recommend.

Response from Simone Thomas Salon

Kelly, please accept our apologises. Kim should of told you that the refreshment area is there for clients to help themselves and have a much as they like. There is a sign on the wall but you might of missed it, you are right we should of at least told you and offered you a drink.

In regards to the products again I am not sure why no products were not used to compliment your blow dry.

I have added into your notes for you to call and book in for a free blow dry when you feel you need a blow dry for a night out or special day with Kim.

Again please accept our apologises on the miscommunication today.

Kind regards,

After years of abusing my hair with hair extensions and bleach, I was desperate for a solution that would give my hair a break and allow me to grow out the dye without compromising on my appearance. I was feeling a bit apprehensive about the notion of a 'wig' but Simone put me completely at ease and made it such a fun and enjoyable experience. I love my new hair; it's a beautiful colour and looks so natural and feels so light - completely undetectable as a wig! I am so looking forward to getting my natural hair back to how it used to be and feel confident that Simone and her team will be able to help me with this. Such a lovely, welcoming salon and friendly people. Thank you!

I had just walked out of another salon for keeping me waiting 25 mimutes and thought I would try the salon as it looked smart and the receptionist could fit me in to have my nails done. I tried shellac as opposed to my usual and was very pleased with the result..
