Abi and her staff are lovely, I have had numerous treatments here and always enjoy my time at the salon. Some of the staff while super nice clearly lack experience and at times my appointments have taken double the time compared to other places. While end result is still good, this may be something to bear in mind if time is of concern to you.
I have just returned from a "groupon" offer hair cut and treatment from Abis salon, purley way, Croydon.
I am not surprised they need to big themselves up and use groupon offers to get custom.
The treatment was a wash and an ineffective scalp stroking. The shampoo and conditioner did nothing for my hair.
The cut hard to measure the amount cut it as so small. ( I did not ask her to wash and comb my hair but to cut, when I realised the poor performance I had difficulty remaining in the chair) The senior stylist as she was called was the worst example of a stylist I have ever had the misfortune to meet.
I returned home and the first thing I needed to do was rewash my hair and book another hair cut with my usual stylist. Who is great by comparison.
Before booking through groupon I looked at reviews for this salon. I fail to comprehend how anyone with hair could have scored them so favourably.
The trouble with hair salons if one complains they are at liberty to make things even worse.
Never again will I attempt a groupon offer and I will never set foot in Abi's again. I am not surprised that they need groupon to attract custom
I opted for the new talent for my hair cut. I received an okay hair cut but I won't be returning to the salon again. The hair cut took two hours, of which it probably took half an hour to brush my hair after the wash, nevermind the actual cut. Another stylist had to finish blow drying my hair as the next customer was waiting due to the over run on my cut, and spoke over me to another customer whilst finishing my hair. Nice salon but not for me, to top it off I had a nice £65 parking fine waiting for me as it took so long!
