Hair Journey with ROAR

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I have just come home from my appointment and so happy with the results. I get married in October and on a bit of a hair journey to achieve the look and colour I want for my big day. Today was about creating a clean slate. Getting clear of some of the colour in my hair I don’t like and giving it a glossy finish. Conor was fantastic . Really attentive to my needs and provided sound advice. We worked on getting today’s colour right and it come out better that I expected.

Lovely Conor looked after me, Nicole made me a nice cup of tea and Gavin's cheerful banter next to me was uplifting. It was also impressive to hear efficient Leo get all technical about hair colour with a client. And let's not forget the massage chair where I could stay all day.

Niamh is a lovely girl. And she has great personality but personally I didn’t get the colour I asked for and my hair usually lifts nicely I was given a a copper/brown balayage instead of more ashy blond tones which I’ve had many times before elsewhere. The result was not so bad but not something usually go with and I was charged almost £200 when I was quoted much less over the phone whilst the haircolorist was a junior in my opinion but was told she was senior and charged senior prices. She also cut a lot off my hair and the man in charge needs to work on his customer experience as he doesn’t make eye contact and he doesn’t make anyone feel welcome and got defensive when I said that over the phone I was quoted much less instead of just listening. Gavin I believe his name was is amazing his laughter really could make anyone laugh amazing person. I feel ripped off as I was told max £150 but I wouldn’t go again personally. Giving someone free shampoo knowing that you have ripped someone off isn’t the way to go 🫣 I’d happily pay £200 if I got what I asked for.

Hi Anonymous,

This review really surprises me. I know you have posted this anonymously however I am aware of your full service and results as I was part of your consultation.

When we have a review of any less than 5 stars it is so important to me that we find out where we can improve.

In this instance I feel that you might not be telling the whole story. So I would like to address some points in this review.

You did receive a warm copper brown balayage because that is what you asked for and also showed a reference photo as such. We also explained that it was going to be much warmer than what you have had before and you agreed that it would be a good change. Niamh is absolutely one of our youngest members of the team but that does not diminish her skill. The look she created for you was exactly what you had asked for and was charged accordingly for work that was over a 3hour appointment. She also cut off what you asked her to cut off.

You were not quoted any price on the phone and I know this for sure because it was me who took your booking. We don’t quote for colour work when we haven’t seen the head of hair yet in person.
Niamh quoted you at the start of your visit for a full head balayage service then rightly so when you questioned the price also gave you options where we could do a little less work if your first choice didn’t suit. You chose to go ahead with the full service even after the price breakdown so i am struggling to see how we have “ripped you off” when we explained every price aspect of the service before we started? All new guests receive a shampoo and conditioner this is a gift for choosing ROAR.

I am the “man in charge” as you described me and your comment about not making eye contact is simply just not true I’m an experienced hairdresser of 22 years eye contact is essential in my role and i absolutely made eye contact with you while I explained that you did not receive a quote from me on the phone. I think what happened was you got a little defensive because you hadn’t realised that it was me you were speaking with and you were caught out trying to manipulate the price so that is a lie.

To close I'm glad you have decided you wouldn’t come again because respectfully you are not welcome. You got exactly the hair that you asked for and you were told exactly how much it would cost before any work started. You have falsely reviewed my business and you have posted this review thinking you would get something for nothing which is proven by your actions to try and manipulate the price in the first place.

I ask you if you have had “the hair you want” at other salons…. Why come to us? Or perhaps there is good reason why you no longer go to these salons either?

Hadn't visited Roar before but badly needed colour and cut. I'm a natural red head going grey!! Had a great consultation with Niamh who took time to listen and advise me about colour. I had plenty time to chat and Niamh made me feel confident regarding colour selection. And that's exactly what I received a lovely shade to suit me and a great cut. Niamh made sure I was happy with everything at all stages. Very happy (older) girlie . Lovely experience. Thank you Niamh and Roar. Brenda H .

Disappointed

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

My appointment was with John who I have now found out was dismissed. I was not informed before the appointment or given the choice to cancel. Claire asked if I liked the previous low lights the colourist had done and I said no I found it made my hair too flat and dull but I have even more now than the previous appointment. I am trying to grow my hair a little longer in order to put it up so I did not want much taken off, even my daughter commented when I met her that my hair was a lot shorter. I do not like the look of my hair at all but I will have to live with it now for at least 8 weeks, which is especially disappointing at this time of year.

Hi Frances,

My name is Leo and I am the salon owner at ROAR. I wanted to create a reply that addresses all of your points in your review.

Firstly ROAR has a mission to make each guest look and feel fantastic so if we have missed the mark on this occasion please know we will Do everything we can to rectify that.

Your appointment was indeed with John however please let me explain that John went missing with no
Communication. I don’t feel it necessary to go into the details of this however we had no idea if he was coming back or not so instead we made sure we had a senior member of the team free to accommodate your appointment if you wanted at a very busy time of year rather than cancel and be unable to offer an alternative.

I have had a look at the appointment records and I can see that you had a “full head of foils” which included lowlights on your previous visits. I have then had a look at this appointment and can see that you had a “Face frame foils” this time which again did include a low light but the quantity that was mixed up and used was significantly less. After chatting to Claire she was certain that you didn’t want to remove the low light but have less of them so I feel there may have been a miss communication here. Claire also mentions that when the service was finished you let her know that you were happy with the results.

At ROAR we will always make sure we get it right as much as we can but of course every so often we need to readjust some things. Please could you get in touch with us at [email protected] and we can organise a complimentary adjustment for you as well as a free treatment to say thank you for your feedback.

You have also rated our cleanliness, atmosphere and service low Frances which for us is
Feedback that we rarely receive so could you please elaborate on these points and we can make changes where necessary.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Leo

I booked an appointment with Leo for a cut and blow dry, after reading reviews about the awards his salon have received, I live in Dumfries Scotland and is salons are 75 miles from me, I paid £20 deposit for my appt on Friday 28th Nov at what I thought was a 4.00pm appt, I killed two birds with one stone and met a friend in Glasgow for lunch before going to his Giffnock salon for my appt, Leo called me around 2.15pm to ask where I was, my appt was actually at 2.00pm and not 4.00pm, I don’t know why I got confused, I thought that was me not getting my hair cut, and losing my £20 deposit, but Leo offered me to still go to the salon at 4.00pm as one of the stylists Gavin had a cancellation, saves me losing my hair£20 deposit and I would still get my haircut, I thought this was a really nice offer as he didn’t have to do it, I went for my 4.00pm appointment with Gavin and I couldn’t be more happier with my hair, he listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered more than my expectations, and he was one of the loveliest hair stylists I have ever come across, and also Leo overheard me voicing n my concerns about my thinning hair, and he gave me a brochure to look at with supplements that promote hair growth for me to have a look at, overall my experience at Roar was 10 out of 10 for my hair style and the customer experience, they go above and beyond for their customers, and it’s now going to be my new salon going forward even though I have to travel 75 miles to get there
