Felt at ease with all precautions in place. I found the experience more relaxing since less people in the salon and it allows the stylist to be able to deal with one client at a time so giving a more personal touch . I had a full head colour and cut plus conditioning treatment and was very pleased. Thankyou Jess .

Just had my long awaited colour done with my hairdresser Jodie and it’s safe to say I’m one happy gal right now! It looks and feels amazing and I am booked up for my weekly blow dry until September and I am thrilled to ribbons!! Jodie is my weekly therapy for my soul as well
As my hair and both my hair and me don’t know what we would do without her! She is always a joy to spend the afternoons with and I would follow her always, a wealth of knowledge awaits you and the salon gives a warm and welcoming feel to it even in these unprecedented times. Despite wearing a mask through out which does feel odd (but both mine and your safety is paramount so accept this) we were still able to have our usual chat and I felt totally at home and safe so thank you and can’t wait to see you again.
All the girls are lovely though I have had my hair done by Charlotte on opening day and
Jess has done it previously so a shout out to you all ;) thanks to all of Fox hair design for Making my day xxxx

Mr Fox and his amazing team have everything in place to keep all safe, but it certainly does not detract from the second to none treatment you receive.
I love my hair and do not even care that it will only get seen on the odd zoom call! I have a spring in my step. Georgia you are a hair painting marvel.

I have just got home from a wonderful few hours being spoiled at Fox Hair Design by Josef!

The salon was incredibly clean, calm and organised. I felt totally safe and looked after from the moment I entered the salon.

I always love having my hair done by the amazing Josef but today I felt even more looked after.

On the first day of opening, Karl and the team have got it spot on. I couldn’t have felt more safe or happy. Thank you to everyone at Fox Hair Design!

And I love my hair xx

Wonderful staff, attention & care second to none as usual & love my end result, thank you Charlotte.
However! Carl, you need to get your finger out and get your Hinckley salon up to a standard your staff deserve. The coffee machine is still not working, which it wasn’t on my last visit meaning your staff are only able to offer a limited amount of refreshments. The smoke alarm went off several times while I was there which was remedied by a member of staff poking it with a brush handle and the front door being opened for a few minutes, which incidentally I was sat beside. Finally, prior to my final treatment being washed off the boiler stopped producing hot water and the kettle had to be boiled to fill a jug to do the final rinse. I find this totally unacceptable and no doubt some embarrassment for your wonderful staff and all for a final bill of £122. Carl, I really think you need to address these issues if you want to charge for a top class service.

Response from Fox Hair Design

Moria, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry that you experienced a number of issues and felt the need to bring them to my attention.

Let me go through these for you and give an explanation. I can assure you that this is not a case of me "needing to get my finger out". Looking at your record card you bill was £111 for services and £11 for retail items. For the services that you received, root colour, partial highlights, olaplex and a cut & finish we believe this represents excellent value for money. However, I take your points on board and apologise that your visit wasn't up to our normal excellent level of service.

1. The commercial coffee machine is under a maintenance contract, and has been looked at twice in recent weeks. The part required is out of stock. This has been ordered but is coming from the manufacturer overseas. A fire at the factory has caused a delay in production. We are offering a far from limited hot drinks menu: coffee prepared with freshly ground beans from my own bean to cup (from home), decaffeinated coffee served in a cafetière, hot chocolate, and a selection of teas including english breakfast, earl grey, decaffeinated, peppermint, blueberry, lemon & ginger, rooibos, camomile to name but a few. The only thing we have no facility for at present is steaming milk for cappuccino or latte.

2. The property is mixed use, there are two flats on the first floor and a neighbouring commercial property. By law all fire detectors within the property have to be linked. If the alarm sounded in the salon, it is likely that it was caused by a tenant in the properties above. I will ask the managing agents to investigate when they reopen. We can silence the alarm in the salon by pressing and holding the button, similar to a domestic smoke alarm.

3. Hot water, I can but apologise. We have a 180 litre hot water tank specifically designed for hair salons. , I have visited the salon following your feedback; the hot water tank has two emersion heating elements, one of the timers appeared to be showing the wrong time, presumably following a power outage. This has now been reset and both heating elements are working simultaneously.

Should you wish to contact me further regarding your visit please email me at [email protected] or telephone 01455 245245

The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Jodie sat down and asked my about my hair and what I would like today. I was made to feel welcome and really relaxed. I don’t get my hair cut as often as I should but will definitely be going back. For my first visit I received a welcome gift which I love. Thank you so much and see you soon x
