Response from Lara Johnson Lifestyle

Dear Farhia,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

On the day of your appointment, you arrived approximately 25 minutes late. This may have contributed to your feeling that the appointment was rushed.

Despite this, your colour service was completed to the highest standard, you still had the dedicated time given for the services booked and we achieved full coverage. You also received a thorough consultation with your colourist, stylist, and Lara to ensure your expectations were met. From our perspective, we made every effort to deliver all services you were booked for, despite being 25 minutes late to your appointment.

Please do not hesitate to contact our team if you would like to discuss your experience further. However they went above and beyond to ensure your desired colour was achieved.

Regards,
Lara Johnson Lifestyle

Met Ellie for the first time for a half head of highlights and from shoulder length hair to a short bob. Ellie was really friendly and made me feel so comfortable. She completely “got” the style and colour I was looking for, and the cut was exactly the length I asked for. Having one person do both the colour and the cut and style was superb and I have made an appointment for a trim in the new year. Christmas looks much brighter now! 👍🏼

Not what I asked for

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

The lady who cut my hair was really lovely, however unfortunately the way she styled it let the whole experience down. I asked for a 90’s long bob and I definitely didn’t receive this. I asked for face shaping and fringey bits to frame my face, however the woman who cut my hair said it was too damaged for this (which is crazy as I have had this style before and my hair was in the same condition). Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

I’ve been coming to Chloe since the summer and I am in awe every time she does my hair. The colour and cut is always perfect and exceeds my expectations each time. Today we went for a change and decided to cut in some wispy bangs above the eyebrow, and some lowlights to the colour. Safe to say, I am absolutely obsessed!
