Thank you to Beth and Sarah at the salon this week who ensured I had a very relaxing first visit to Inkfish.
My cut and colour couldn't be more perfect and Beth was so attentive in making sure it was just what I wanted. Sarah neatened up my eyebrows at short notice and they've never looked so tidy!
The atmosphere in the salon is calm and relaxing making for a thoroughly enjoyable visit
- I shall definitely be back.

...the decor is just right in a nutshell. Not so affected as to make you feel out-of-place. It's obvious the staff love their jobs here, and that's reflected in how you're treated. It honestly feels like an extended family, and despite the salon's considerable size, it retains an intimate and convivial atmosphere. My stylist is very young, great at what she does, and I don't even notice the hour or so it takes to style my very awkward hair (including washes before and after). That's what makes a salon superb - feeling like you're having an enjoyable chat with a good friend. Great job iNkfish. Oh...to my stylist - antidisestablishmentarialism! That's a silly word, right? :-)

I've not read other reviews yet...but I shall try to be concise, accurate, and give you some reasons for my assertion (the only one you need to bother with...I assure you).

This salon is quite simply the best out there - anywhere. I've had my hair cut/styled all over the UK and in numerous placed globally - especially America. This salon ticks every box:-

The staff are incredibly attentive, professional and knowledgeable. Chances are they will b (a) younger than you and (b) more attractive than you...but they won't make you feel that way. When you come to this place it's all about you...every time I've been I always walk out feeling $100,000,000...let alone $1,000,000.

As soon as you walk in, the trendy-yet-welcoming ambience is palpable, yet not oppressive, nor is it pretentious. You're instantly greeted by a member of staff - you feel valued...unlike many salons where they assume you're business is guaranteed.

The salon's decor is just right - fashionable and happening wi

I realy dont like to write a bad review but as I was textl to ask to write a review I thought I would and it might as well be a honist one. There was plenty if room when I called up last minute to book so booked in with a senior stylist. I had a warm welcom and the staff were all friendly. I was tge o ly customer in so felt a bit out numbered by the amount of staff waiting around
I think even if your not busy then look busy. I had a shirt discution with my hair dresser about ehat I wanted. 2 inches off and not many layers. I had a nice relaxing hair wash. The cut looked ok in the salon if not quite as much had been taken of as I had asked. And didnt want to say at the end as felt she couldnt start cutting it again. Any way left happy with my hair cut and it had been nicely blow dried. But after the first wash athome I have been ddisappointed. There are alot of shorter layers which are all un even and I feel I cant wear it down because of this. I think Ill go back to my normal salon.

I had my hair dyed at inkfish 2 weeks ago. I has brown hair with blonde ombre ends and I asked for a full head of highlights to gradually go blonde again. I've had my hair blonde from dark many times before and I'm aware it is not possible to go light blonde in 1 go. The 'senior' stylist advised me highlights would look cheap and that she recommended doing it a different way. I was very unsure, but after she showed me a picture in a magazine, the colour looked nice and natural so I agreed to trust her. The next thing I knew she stripped my hair (never had this done before highlights in the past).The colour turned our bright orange. Following this she painted the blonde colour on in big chunks and onto my scalp. The outcome of this was an all over brassy orange/dark blonde. I could have achieved better doing it myself from a box dye! I told her I didn't like it and she was very off and said she would quickly put through some highlights on the top. The outcome was still brassy and ginger

I was happy with haircut but gutted that the charge was £44 and I was not advised that of I spent another £6, the deal as advertised on pirate/website would cost £25! I am a loyal customer so am really disappointed. The normal stylists costing £34/37 we're not available and I was not told Rachel would be so much more expensive!

I had my hair cut and some beauty services this week. The beauty services were excellent, relaxing and calm atmosphere and I was made comfortable..
My hair service I was more disappointed in. For the price I was paying I expected more, as I was not spoken to at all during the cut and no products (including no use of heat protectants) were used other than a little bit of shine spray at the end. My hair felt less smooth walking out as it did walking in and I wasn't offered to have my hair straightened like it was when I walked in. I might return for beauty treatments in the future, but I think there are much nicer places to get your hair cut for less money.

I am always happy with my hair and I visit the salon at least 4-6 times a year having a cut, foils and colour. After returning from my appointment today, I noticed in the west Briton, a £25 voucher off. I phoned the salon to explain that I had just spent £107 but was told I did not have the voucher, there was nothing that could be done. As a loyal customer, also buying products on occasions, I feel disappointed with the salons response. Maybe if your advertising discounts, you should advice your loyal customers of your promotions. Good customer service/relations is very important in today's climate.

I had an appointment about a week ago with an Senior stylist, the cut was very nice and i had a lovely cup of coffee. However as I was looking around the salon all I seemed to notice was the older staff going out the door for cigerates and leaving the assistants to pick up after them which I thought was weird as they are meant to be learning not tidying up after the staff. I had a lovely hairwash by one of the assistants although she was very quiet and timid. Very clean salon and good service however I feel the older staff could help out allot more.

I booked an appointment at Ink Fish Truro partly because they were the only salon open late in town on a Thursday night. I was given a cut and restlye by someone who had never seen me before (I have fine, curly hair, quite possibly a cutters nightmare) and she did a brilliant job,taking initiative to create a new shape that compliments my face shape and my hair type. Brilliant job and will definitely be back. Thank you x

Ink fish was recommended to me so i check website for phone number and price list and was lucky to get an immediate appointment. I advised the stylist I always tie all my hair back so sides must be kept long to do this. Maybe she forgot my request as suddenly she cut off the hair I asked to be kept long so it falls right in my face and there's no way could I could tie it back now. She said it would look nice. It did look nice when she said but already its so annoying and i will have to use hair grips for weeks now which negates the 'nice' look look. Also, I was under impression I booked for senior stylist but was charged art director price for cut.

I waited three weeks for a Saturday appointment then when I arrived I had to wait over half an hour for my stylist to see me. She matched my colour, put it on and left me with a 'junior' (who was very nice unlike anyone else) the poor gilt was running around working very hard getting me drinks, mags and then washing my hair, whilst cleaning after everyone else and doing the same for others. Mean while my stylist disappears upstairs, I see her go outside the front to smoke then I paid for her to do the work the junior was doing? I had a good cut and blowdry after but she didn't talk to me and seemed to rush it. As she was the management I am VERY disappointed in the service for the price I paid. I still tipped the junior 'late' though as I felt she really deserved it.
