've been a few times and always had good experiences. It's a training school, hence why it costs basically nothing (I paid £11 for a wash, cut & restyle and blow dry). Each time I've been ive either had my hair cut by someone in training or by a trainer with a group watching - this doesn't bother me in the slightest as everyone starts somewhere and I've always been happy with the result. I most recent had Jack cut my hair and he was great - really chatty without being overbearing and kept asking my opinion on what he was doing (cut, length etc). If you come here, get a really cheap cut etc, and are happy with the results I would recommend tipping the team too; it makes sense.
This most recent visit was my first cut post lockdown and I can assure you that they are doing everything by the book. Temperature check upon entering, questionnaire, everyone wearing the correct ppe etc. Lots of disposable ppe used and everything very clean, could also see that regular cleaning checklists were being carried out. The more senior staff were also regularly checking their team's ppe too. So for anyone concerned about safety during the current pandemic, I would recommend this place.
I was a bit sceptical when I first booked the appointment considering that this is a training school. However, I was not disappointed at all and will surely visit again. The girl that did my haircut was very attentive and the fact that the assessor was there all the time to check the details made me feel really safe. Also, they sanitised everything at the end. £5 for a wash, haircut and blowdry? That's a steal!
