I came to visit Leanne today for a shellac manicure after years of going to the salon next door but finally being fed up of dreadful customer service . Many of my friend recommend Leanne and she did not disappoint . The manicure was amazing and she was extremely professional and charming . I'm converted

Today was my first visit to the Cobham salon. Charlotte was on hand to make me feel welcome and had already been a huge help in booking my appointment with Beau.
I am thrilled with my cut and blow dry. Beau took time to understand the look I wanted and delivered sensible advice to my style choice.
Great service and an excellent cut! Thank you.

Cut and colour - Meryl

I am very happy with my cut and colour and I think that Meryl is great although the service is very expensive. My only negative comment is that although I paid extra for a head massage and treatment, the head massage was very disappointing - the lady rubbed on the crown of my head only and so it was a rub of the crown and not a massage of my head. I would expect the massage to be free in any event.

I had often walked past the salon on the way back from the barbers thinking to myself "why on earth did I not go in there" However on this occasion 12,04,16 I did just that.
What a superior experience not at all what I'm used too but I would most certainly go back. I look and feel a million dollars.
The staff are wonderfully accommodating and smiley , what I always thought could be a rather intimidating situation what with being surrounded by beautifully glamorous people was simple irradiated by there hospitality and warmth.

My 13 year old daughter had her haircut by Katie. Her hair looked absolutely beautiful! It was shiny and healthy looking again! Katie took the time to listen to my daughter's concerns and introduced her to a sulphur free shampoo. I have a happy teenager!

First time in Academy, Cobham but a client in another branch. As I live locally decided to have a wash and blow-dry for Easter in the Cobham branch. Staff all friendly as was John who did my hair.

The results were fine, husband didn't like it but i asked for something different.

Unhappy with: although when asked what shampoo I used, one of theirs and the same product was then used, fine. Why was I then presented with a bottle of shampoo and conditioner when I sat down to have my hair dried - add on sales!

At 49 pounds for a wash and blowdry, ouch!!

Beauty treatments by Anjelica

13th Feb 2016

As always Anjelica today has once again worked her magic on me. I find her to be an incredible individual who can totally relate to her clients. She truly cares about her clients and her work. She is always imaculate in her presentation and her treatments received are very professional. Academy are truly blessed to have her working for you. I do however feel Academy is somewhat overpriced and therefore will not encourage a varied clientele. Furthermore as a beauty client I question the beauty salons atmosphere because at times it is not currently a comfortable atmosphere to receive treatments in. Maybe management would like to address this moving forwards?

I booked an appointment for my elderly mother to have a blow dry and set. She's very frail and not confident outside the house - it was a real coup just to get her there to have her hair done as my treat. All the staff were friendly & caring, Kelly who did her hair was on time, very relaxed, made Mum feel relaxed too and so was able to explain better what she wanted. Mum was thrilled with the result. We'd definitely recommend the salon and Kelly. She listened to what Mum asked for and was easy to chat to. Overall a lovely experience.

Walking past the salon this morning, new to cobham, wandered in on the off chance they had a space over the next few days to get my nails in shop shape for 2016... Spoke to 3 people on arrival, all super. Just by chance, they had a cancellation. Waited only 10 mins then I was in the chair in no time. Nails look lovely, feel ready for the new year. Friendly staff who will bend over backwards. Thank you for squeezing me in and I'll definitely be back soon.

Awful customer service

I booked my appointment with Kelly few weeks ago as I think she's great and I've been her customer since Hersham.
All was fine till the moment of paying when I'm informed Kelly has been promoted, she deserves it, and the price has gone up from £20 to £60.
I'm hurt they were so sneaky they waited until paying to let me know, as, as the treatment was finished, could not refuse.
I don't like this kind of disregard for the customer and I don't think I'll ever be back.
I have voiced my views on social media.

Getting ready for Christmas cut & half a head of hi lights

Anonymous
20th Dec 2015

Was looking forward to 3 hrs of pampering pre Xmas. Having been greeted by my hair techinian she asked whether I had had the skin test. I said 'no', the receptionist had said she would call me back if I had needed to do a test, my answer was met with immense disapproval. I was made to feel like I had done something truly wrong. I said I didn't mind signing a disclaimer after all I have had my hair hi lighted for 18 years. This suggestion was met again with severe diapproval and I was told the toner could kill me and my hair stylist couldn't have this on her conscious. I understand it's salon policy and Holly was just doing her job. But the way it was dealt with was made to feel like my fault, a £20 off voucher was little compensation for how rubbish I felt sitting there like a naughty school child. Would recommend some customer service training on how to overcome objections or deal with difficult situations. My hair incidentally looks great...! Regards, Lucy
