Having recently moved I realised my locks needed serious attention I took a chance and popped into the salon on Friday asking for a quick casual cut. The skilled receptionist assessed my ambivalence at the thought of finding a new hairdresser and tactfully persuaded me to wait another day and have my hair cut by Anna, who I was informed specialises in short hair.
Result a satisfied customer happy with chic
sharp cut.
Occasional calming music change might have enhanced my personal experience!!
Good hair wash and mini massage.

Anna has been my hairdresser for over 10 years and is just the best. Her blow drys are legendary and stay in tact for days under normal conditions and her cuts are precise . She really cares about her clients and always discusses options and advises. I’ve never had a bad haircut and people often remark on the cut and style of my hair . That’s why she’s simply the best hairdresser .

Even though I normally like Simon’s cut, when I came home I realised it hadn’t been feathered properly at the sides after drying. As a result it still looks heavy to me on the sides.

Bobby and Justyna were really good as usual. However there was a long delay between the colour, and the cut. I presume someone in reception made an error when booking. I had to wait a long time, and was not feeling very well (I have a long term health condition), no one apologised for the delay or asked me if I was OK. Also I was then put under the heat again for the olaplex (which I presume was a time stalling tactic), it was very hot and I had to ask someone to turn the heat down, which they kindly did, but then it got turned up again. No one told me how long I was supposed to be under the heat for with olaplex. I was feeling very unwell by this time.
