The new salon is very nice - spacious, light and clean. Everyone was very friendly and I was looked after with drinks and snacks. I didn't show a photo of what I wanted and didn't explain it clearly so I wasn't 100% pleased with the colour. I asked for specific cut style and was warned off of it so ended up having a straightforward trim, which is a good cut but quite straightforward. Next time I will explain fully what I'm looking for and insist on it. Apart from that it was a nice experience.
The salon looked bare and very quiet. My hair dresser was a nice young lady who was engaged and talkative which made the experience pleasant. I asked for a very short haircut and I ended up with a frustrated hairdresser that didn't enjoy working with thick hair and towards the end I could feel the rush in finishing the job. I ended up with uneven bits and pieces of my hair that stick out and I can promise you that I now look like T-1000, the shapeshifting android in the movie Terminator. I'm not sure how to pick a salon that does a decent job with short haircuts. But thankfully it does grow back quickly; it's just too bad that I have to spend another chunk of money in a couple of months or so, to redo the same style.
