Don't be put off my this being right in Surrey Street market, I had a fantastic hair cut for a really reasonable price compared to some of the other places nearby. I used to go to one of the big chain hair dressers in croydon and always came away disappointed, the staff at Friends listened to what I wanted and did a great job. I'm currently growing out a pixie crop so my hair isn't in the easiest condition to work with but I was really happy with the finish and the cut. The staff were very friendly and I will definitely be going back again.
I went for a dry trim. It was good value at £15. The salon is small and old-fashioned but Jana, the hairdresser, was very friendly and chatty and did a good job with my trim, getting rid of all my split ends.
I was really happy with my cut and blow dry.
The salon seemed extremely busy so that in itself says it is a popular place.
I would definately go back again.
I went there seeing all the good reviews. Dunno what the fuss is all about. It is just an average salon. When I talked to them over phone they said a haircut with blow dry would charge me a 20 pounds but when I went there they said it is 30 pounds for the haircut with blow dry. If so they should have mentioned it earlier. And the haircut was not very perfect. Overall not a good experience.
