Pretty Pink French Plaits

This is the third time I have seen Abbie and my hair looks delightful. Abbie's manner is friendly and chilled. She is very skilled and efficient. When she washes my hair I can relax. I like that she thinks of what and how can be achieved. For example, I cannot use conventional hair dye and am currently on a reduced income. My hair is black with lots of grey. On my second visit, I asked if she could intertwine coloured ribbons into my plaits in the hope it would deflect attention away from my grey hairs. She had never done that before but was quite willing to try my request. Initially, the ribbons slipped out. However, Abbie persevered, thought on her feet and found a way. The result was I looked like a princess.

All the staff at Ferndown Francesco Hair Academy are professional and flexible. When I explained that I don't have much money, they showed understanding and DID NOT overcharge me. I would definitely recommend going to this hair salon especially this branch.

After having varied experiences at other hairdressers salons since I moved here some years back I’m delighted to have found Carolyn.
Sometimes you just know that your hair is in safe hands :)
She understands my hair’s curly pattern, and really takes time to ensure the cut is as I want it.
Last time she cut my hair I was very happy with it and she suggested a colour for this afternoon’s appointment.
YES!!!! The colour has lifted and lightened my hair and I feel amazing. Also very happy at the 50% July discount!!!
I’ll be back time and again.
The salon is a peaceful place to feel pampered and relaxed. Excellent.

Zoe'e was very professional and the colour was excellent. I was very disappointed with the Price. The advised prices are not what I was charged, £70 was a lot of money as that would make it £140 normal price. I did feel short changed as it was hardly 50% off.

Response from Francesco Hair Ferndown

Thank you for your review and we are glad you are pleased with your colour.
We are sorry to hear you felt short changed with the bill though. The offer you are referring to is "50% off colour services for new clients", so this is only on the colour service and not the entire bill. We feel this is a great offer as
the normal price would have been £104.00 for a full head of colour, wash and blow-dry.
But please do feel free to give us a call to discuss further if you wish. Feedback is very important to us and we want all our clients to feel satisfied. Many thanks

Normally visit the salon on a Saturday but due to personal commitments Carolyn recommended a late evening visit after work.
Had a lovely relaxing time. Shannon coloured my hair with just the right amount of colour to keep it looking natural.
Carolyn finished with cut and blow dry. I always leave feeling really happy with my hair and all the staff make you feel like you’re one of the family. Truly amazing salon. Thank you all.

Zoe is a very taleneted hairdresser and easy to talk to. As a bloke with long hair I didn’t want to use a barbers so I opted for this salon as my wife comes here and is always really happy with the results. I’m really pleased with my hair it’s the smartest it’s ever looked. Everyone at the salon makes you feel welcome so it’s a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Carolyn has looked after my hair for many years but it wasn't until I started chemotherapy that I truly appreciated what an amazing stylist she is. From shaving my head when my hair began to fall out to now looking after the regrowth Carolyn has been so kind, caring and professional at every visit to the salon. She really knows what she is doing when it comes to hair. I always feel I am in safe hands with my simply amazing hairdresser.

This was my first visit to the salon. Jo took time to find out what I wanted and did a great job of restyling my mass of short hair! She gave good advice on haircare and products but with no ‘hard sell’, which I appreciated. A bit pricey, but I feel worth it and have rebooked. Friendly, professional and a lovely salon (and cup of tea!). Thank you!
