Madhu was a little late with her last appointment and I had to wait for 5 minutes; however she more than made up for it. I had a cup of tea and read a magazine. Soon, she got to work on my hair (which was dry, brittle and shapeless), we agreed a inch was sufficient for both of us; she proceeded to shaped my hair giving it a new lease of life. She was chatty and I took her comments on board for product recommendations. Finally, the blow dry! It lasted for 3 days, and was still voluminous and curly throughout. I cannot recommend her enough, and will certainly be paying another visit in 8 weeks time.
I wait a few weeks after having a hair cut to see if it stands the test of time. This one loooks as good today as it did 4 weeks back. I hate salons that stick you in an ugly gown the moment you walk in. Those gowns under mine your confidence and make you annonymous. How does the stylist know who you are and what life you have if they can't see the real you? Anyway at Joshua Altbeck the gown was proffered but I said I'd put it on after I'd spoken to Joshua and this was treated with a smile and courtesy rather than the usual irritation. Joshua and I talked for a good 5 minutes about what I wanted (to preserve as much post chemo hair as possible and still have a contemporary but flattering cut) he instructed to washer to shampoo as I wanted (ie not severely as I shampoo every morning) and then set about cutting an exquisite style. He's not a big talker which is great he's concentrating on the job and this he did brilliantly. It's tecnically an excellent cut that doesn't rely on styling and blow drying to look good. Josh trained at Daniel Galvin and his pedigreee shows. This is a 5* hair cut.
