Chaps & Dames

I'm clearly a sucker for punishment! After one terrible skew haircut with a mullet I never asked for, I went back a year later to try out a more 'experienced' hairdresser who talked me out of what I came in for and gave me such a bad cut I had to shave the whole lot off and start again. Mates were actually laughing at me it was SO BAD. I wish o could post a photo to this site so everyone can see just how bad it was! Oh well....it's only hair. It grow a back!

An appalling service from the owner especially, Paul, unless you are part of the 'in crowd' or a VIP (as they like to boast Kate Middleton's hairdresser popped in). Reception is uniquely chaotic, and the atmosphere often tense. I stuck with Paul for 6 months as atleast he didn't ruin my short hair. But twice he didn't show, once an accident, second he just wandered off. So he's obviously not that interested in middle aged women as clients unless you are having a high cost service. He had always been pretty brusque when I have caught up with him and I started dreading seeing him the same as the dentist. The last time I attempted his services today, he gave no eye contact, and couldn't hear what I wanted because of the garage music at high volume on their sound system. It was enough to drive me to use the 'f' word, very quietly mind you. I said the 'f'ing music was too loud. For this Paul asked me to come outside - god forbid his other customers hear the truth of how I am treated! There are some good stylists here who can do great classic cuts, but the best ones I know left - they got tired of the posturing , the inflated marketing and public relations strategies. I rarely complain but this place has had the truth coming for ages. Shambolic, they rarely even get your name correct on arrival. Even the coffee was cold today. I am finally given the push to go back to Vittor's nextdoor which is sane and stress free.

Like she said ! Next pay day!

Terrible haircut. Kelly cut my hair with the razor, even if I had specifically told her that I did not want that. She assured me she would not use it much, which hasn't been the case. She thinned my hair out so much that I cannot feel the body any longer; in addition, it gets unmanageably frizzy and goes in all direction. She should have realised that my hair is not thick enough to bear such an approach. But that is not the worst part. She cut my hair in three extremely different layers. I have a very short layer on top, half (if not more) as short as the longest layer. They make no sense. They have no balance!I will have to wait for months before regaining my hair body. Not to mention that I made a second booking to get them fixed (by cutting the longest layer), and the appointment was cancelled at 10pm the night before, without any explanation or encouragement to book another time. Appalling.

Wow!This must be what the celebs feel like! i've never seen anything like this salon..I had a beautiful blowdry then brought a vintage dress in the next room..Walking out feeling fab!.....I ll def be bk next pay day :)
