I got a mob deal on Wahanda for the Brazilian Blow Dry which was a very good deal off their normal price. The discount was almost 70% off.
The receptionist was not very welcoming as she left me on my own for a good 10 mins before she inquired why I was there. She was busy chatting with her colleagues even though I was patiently watiting in front of the reception counter waiting to be served.
The stylist was quite harassed as it was quite busy when I arrived. However she was very polite and offered me a drink and seated me comfortably and discussed what the BBD would entail as it was my first time.
The BBD was ok only as it seemed she was a junior stylist and she didn't feel as experienced for such a specialized treatment. I think I wouldn't have appreciated it as much if I had paid the full £250 and got this level of service. However as it was so cheap, I didn't comment on it too much.
The place is obviously a hair salon more than a spa. I dont think I would be tempted to do a treatment here. Not unless it was a very good deal or promotion on.

I didn't know what to expect, but after a long day at work it was enjoyable. So far I am very happy with the brazilian blow dry and if it continues as it is now then I would have this treatment done again

Excellent salon, great location and my hairdresser Helena was lovely. Great value and a great result. will definitely go back, but only with a voucher though, as the price of a Brazillian blow-dry is quite steep without the discount.
Took about 1.5 hours which was good going, as sometimes it can take 2 hours

I was booked in for a Brazilian blowdry at Selfridges. I got a great mobdeal, it cost £80 and the value was £200. The guy who did my hair was very friendly and looked after me throughout. The procedure was 2 hours long, started with a hair wash, followed by the keratin application. This was then followed by a blowdry and then straighten. When I had my last blowdry the keratin made my eyes burn, this was at Toni and Guy but this time I had no problems, just a pleasant chocolate smell. I am looking forward to Wahanda running another mobdeal on this so I can book it again.

I found out my usual hairdressers' closed down so took a gamble and tried out Cobella in Kensington (I've been to the Tony & Guy on Kensington Church Street and wasn't impressed).
Initial impression: clean, sleek, nice smiley staff
Hairdresser: Clayton is a nice guy, efficient and gave me loads of tips on how to keep my hair healthy, on top of giving me a good new cut. He didn't try to hard sell any products but did mention a few that would be suited to me (which is a relief as I'm not very tolerant of hard selling). He styled my hair using no product at all and i've never seen it looking so healthy and shiny. Must be the way he uses the drier but it's nice to see that I don;t have to overload my hair anymore
Facilities: the main floor is very nice, tidy and sleek in appearance. But since all the wash basins were occupied i was taken downstairs which is a bit grotty - hence i gave it a 3/5 ranking. Not sure if they are working on it or not, but it didn't do much harm to my whole hair-washing experience since i doze off for a few minutes anyway
Value: £65 for a cut and blow dry by a senior stylist is steep but I had a good experience and will go back as I left with an awesome head of hair
Other: The manicure station is just by the door and doesn't look all that - i wasn't tempted to get my nails done
