It’s been a challenging year with two lockdowns. Missing hair appointments because of this. Today Sarah has made me feel so much better with an amazing cut and colour as she always does. I’m ready now for working with an easy to manage style.
Thank you so much Sarah for waving your magic wand xx

Sadly, not impressed. Haven’t been here for years and remember why now. Didn’t enjoy the wash (water too hot, nails too scratchy, no nice head massage which is part of the whole relaxing experience?) and don’t like the smell of the shampoo and not sure conditioner was even used. Didn’t feel like it when getting brushed. Very roughly dried and mostly blasted in the ear with the hairdryer. Didn’t feel like a treat at all. Looked dry and frizzy. Cut / trim was ok but just a tidy up really. When I asked about product I was reminded I only paid £37 for a cut and finish. A cut and blow dry would be £57. Surely a little spray to give a bit of shine or make someone feel good or smell nice(r than the wash products)
wouldn’t be too much to bring customers back again? Being very British I didn’t say much but it was obvious I wasn’t impressed. Also being very British I just won’t go there again. I was there less than 40 mins and don’t feel this service was worth £1 per minute.

Response from David Antony Hairdressing

Dear Elaine, so sorry to hear the experience you received was not to our usual high standards.
And thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Our team do usually enquire if the water temperature is to your liking and a head massage is in our shampooing technique.
The shampoo and conditioners are either Redken or Pureology which are very high quality shampoos and conditioners and we are sorry you did not like the smell of them.
Our cut and finish is a cut (which we are pleased was ok for you) but this does only include a rough dry.
Perhaps we could try again and make this a better experience for you.

CJ is so easy to chat with and he really knows about curly hair. He always checks that I'm happy with the products he uses.

Appointment verified by iSalon Software

I’m not sure if my hairdressers name, it was a last minute appointment. I booked in, had my hair washed, 1/2 an inch trimmed off and my hair blow dryer using a round brush for some volume. The salon was clean an tidy, there wasn’t much of an atmosphere but that could be down to the fact that we all have to wear masks. My stylist was friendly enough but it felt like i was just another customer on the conveyer belt. I didn’t enquire about the price to start with and just assumed it would be around the £40-£45 mark which is an average price and was so shocked when i was asked to pay £58. It felt rather extreme and doesn’t really reflect the cost of a usual salon experience in the portsmouth area. I’ve paid just under this at a salon is Stratford, London’s westfield before. I had a very simple trim, no restyle, nothing dramatic, I was so shocked i even put up a post on facebook to see if this was a usual price for a trim and every single person (60 people commented) said it was extreme. Im someone happy to pay for a service but this was crazy.

I turned up with hair full of dry shampoo and a brain empty of ideas! Clair took the time to really evaluate the condition of my hair (not as bad as I thought) and took my vague complaints of “flat” and “doesn’t do anything” and gave me a beautiful cut and bouncy blow dry. I’ve kept most of my length but my hair now has movement and will have more volume when I style it. I met my husband after for lunch and he greeted me with a big grin so it must have looked good!

I was given advice about ongoing care which will change for the better how I manage my hair. The actual cutting was to an excellent craft standard.
