My kerastase treatment made a big difference and my hair felt great afterwards. I just wish that I had some kind of a brief head massage like some other hair dressers would do when they wash your hair. That's a shame. I didn't ask for a challenging haircut but for the first time for a long time I was happy with the result. I wasn't to sure if I wanted my hair more layered because I liked the way he cut my hair but he proposed to come back if I change my mind! 😉 So I'm a very happy customer!
I have quite long black wavy hair. I just wanted a simple wash, cut and rough dry - lucky for me I got more than that! To begin with, i was late for my appointment by nearly 15 minutes because I was really struggling to find the place (that's an issue with Google Maps and not the address of the hairdressers) when I called twice to let them know I was going to be running late - they were really understanding. When I got there, the staff were friendly, chatty and attentive. I didn't have to wait long for my turn and it was really quick. Even though I told her that i was just looking for a rough dry (I wear a headscarve) she went that extra mile to make my hair look bouncy, vibrant and soo shiny! We had a great little chat and I can honestly say I would be happy to go back there again.
Unfortunately I'm not really happy with my haircut and so I've had to give just a 2 star rating. I asked for long angled bob and showed loads of pics of what I wanted. I was also very specific about how I wanted the back to be. Unfortunately the hair dresser could not or didn't want to give me the style I had asked for. It's too short at the front and the back looks really blunt and sticks out funny. So unfortunately, overall I'm disappointed with the service I paid for here.
I had a lovely wash, cut and blow dry. They listened to what I wanted and really took their time. Thank you!
The Gentlemen's Haircuts was supposed to last 45min but it lasted only 20min instead... also the hairdresser was really junior and did not understand what I wanted.
