Told Carol was the best.
Met Carol, felt rushed, didn't feel like I was being listened to. Showed references, my current hair style was already very similar to what I wanted, it should of just been some neatening and styling.
Carol completely restyled it, insisting that it'll grow out again and it'll look better when it does, which, of course it will, in two months.
I lost all the thickness which I explicitly said I enjoyed, lost the length I'd waited to grow out after donating 16" of hair to LPT.
It was a catastrophic failure as far as what I wanted was concerned. To finish, after I had said throughout nervously that I wasn't sure I was OK with what she was doing, Carol offered to get her manager if I didn't want to pay if unhappy with it, which felt more like "if youre not happy with it, You can deal with the boss". Then said if I want to come back when it's grown out, I could, but honestly, I won't be back. I expressed verbally how stressed, anxious and depressed I am currently, and how important this haircut was for me, and then to be treated with what I think was disregard and lack of communication and sugar coated customer service, which compared to past hairdressers I had before moving here, I could tell there was a difference in personal treatment. It wasn't a "bad" haircut, skill wise she did fine, but communication, empathy and actually doing what I'd requested, were completely missed.
Short story. Made very clear requests of what I wanted, used a picture to help, and then felt like my words were completely ignored. It'll take two months to get back to where I was so it can be styled properly.
I can't speak for the salon as a whole, but Carol seriously let me down, in tears once I was home.
I paid regardless, as she still spent an hour doing her own thing with my hair, and she's got kids to feed, so it doesn't feel right to me not to pay in that situation, despite the offer.
Please be better.

I absolutely love this salon, and I have to give a HUGE shoutout to Beth! I’ve been seeing her for about 8 months now for my extensions, and she always takes the best care of me. She’s so kind, so patient, and truly listens to what I want and delivers results that are even better than I imagined every single time

Abbie was so wonderful and my hair feels so much healthier! After some time without a hairdresser and diving into the daunting task of finding a new one Abbie was nothing but reassuring and thoughtful. Telling me about the condition of my hair and how best to help it as well as chatting about what to do next. Healthy hair journey has begun!
Plus the head massage and relaxing chair when having your hair washed is amazing! Let alone the options of drinks!!

As a first visit, I walked in feeling a little nervous, because i am rarely enthralled by results. Everyone was charming and enthusiastic.
Abbie,treated me with due care and attention given i have difficulties with my hair. Her head massage is a delight.
I walked out feeling great having had a lovley conversations and results that I hadn't had in a long time.
Embarrassingly I do not know which Abbie was the creater of my pleasure.
I had great advice on cut and colour.
