Wig Trim

This was my first visit to Simone Thomas Salon and I was made to feel welcome the second I walked through the door.

I'd booked to have a synthetic wig trimmed, as the ends were getting a little tired. Georgie did an excellent job and also layered the sides a little to get rid of a bit of "weight". The end result was brilliant!

Georgie also advised me on how to care for my wigs and gave lots of tips on "do's and dont's".

Professional and friendly staff, excellent value for money and beautiful surroundings.

This was my first visit to Simone Thomas Salon and I was made to feel really welcome the second I walked through the door. I'd booked to have a synthetic wig trimmed and tidied by Georgie, and have to say that she did an amazing job, trimming off dried ends and taking a little "weight" off of the sides. All the time, she was advising me on how to care for synthetic wigs and how to get the most from them. Georgie really is amazing at her job, besides being so very warm and friendly. The salon carries a wide range of wigs, both synthetic and human hair, which can be styled to suit the client. I will definitely be returning for another head of hair in the not too distant future!

Amazing service by Kim, I know it sounds terrible, but I'm sure her name was Kim, has a boyfriend called Jack. She was confident and reassuring - I've had so many disasters I was really nervous - I didn't need to be, I love my colour, it's exactly what I wanted and will definitely go back, in fact I'm thinking I want Kim to cut my hair too. We did have a giggle, which I also didn't expect either, fantastic and lovely person.

Not only is she good at listening and coming up with intelligent suggestions but she always creates a terrific end result and is really good to have a proper chat with. So overall an excellent experience and Ive been getting a few compliments about my hair. I am happy to recommend the salon for comfort and environment and definitely recommend Kim for a great cut and blow dry.

What an amazing Salon, you have transformed me and my hair this week and I am so happy I found this beautiful salon. I went in with what could be describe as seven months of outgrown flat dark grey roots and highlights and left with a beautiful blonde and brown ombré. My hair is so shiny, love the cut it's full of bounce and my blow dry is still perfect three days later. Happy Christmas and thank you, see you in 2017 :-)

Balayage

Kelly

I attended the salon on Saturday December 3 for balayage after waiting a couple months for a Saturday appointment. I was in there about 5 hours, I had asked for balayage in cool tones and instead ended up with a full head of highlights in warm tones (now I understand it takes a couple sessions to get all the warmth out of coloured hair, but the bleach was left on only 30 mins and barely lifted at all). I asked for my greys to be covered whilst keeping the root colour as close to my natural colour as possible (a cool tone dark brown) and my roots are now a warm almost ginger brown and still about 2 inches of grey visible as the colour only seemed to be applied to the first two inches of my roots. I ended up with hair dye all over my forehead and the bleach/toner was not washed out properly above my nape. I'm lucky the hair didn't break off there. I wasn't told that root colour would be an extra £40, I thought it was included in balayage (being a first time customer to the salon). When I went to pay I was hit with a £183 bill for colour, cut and blow dry, to end up with something that was not at all what I wanted. On a positive note the girl who did my hair (Kim) was so lovely which made it that much harder to say anything. Overall disappointed is an understatement, will not be returning.

The staff are very welcoming as soon as you walk in , nothing was too much trouble. My appointment was with Kim who is one of the most professional people I have ever met. She listened to what I want I wanted and she took it from there. I am extremely happy with my hair and I will definitely be returning. Thank you so much Kim ????

Going to get my hair done is one of my most favourite things! I went to simone thomas salon today for a full head blonde ombre and I can not praise the girls enough!
Emma did my colour, she was so attentive and listened to exactly what I wanted, I asked her advice and she was more than helpful. Not only did I trust Emma completely with my hair I got exactly the look I wanted and I'm over the moon!
Georgie cut and blow dried my hair and again she listened to everything I said and I got exactly the finished look I wanted, wish I had been going out tonight, my hair has looked the best it's ever looked!
Both girls talked me through aftercare of colouring hair too and the range of aftercare products available was fantastic.
Overall, the salon delivers an expert and professional service. The team are so friendly and approachable. I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, it felt just like home.
If you haven't already tried Simone Thomas I strongly suggest you do, you won't ever be disappointed.
Thank you so much girls xxxxx

I entered to see George today after noticing my hair has thinned considerably over a few months and worried it might be female pattern baldness George madesign me feel positive about my hair and looked under microscope at folicles and then a cleansing and hair growth treatment on my hair and said hair loss likely due to medication etc and said to go for a followup appointment in 2-3 months to see if it's getting better or worse to give better idea of cause etc. She also recommended nioxin shampoo and scalp conditioner which I have purchased from the salon to try. Overall I'm very happy with the service goergie provided and aftercare advice and I will be back for my review in a few months to see how it's progressing.

Thank you George for your help today

Awful haircut and poor customer service

Sharon

I had a haircut that was obviosly uneven and poorly cut. On contacting the salon ,I was made to feel that they were correcting it as a goodwill gesture .It appears the manager who I had spoken to hadn't informed the stylist of the problem before my return visit. After agreeing how poor the cut was she then had to cut it much shorter than i would have chosen .
Its fair to say she did make a good job of a very bad haircut ,but the whole experience was very uncomfortable.
Customer service is non existent and at no time was an apology offered .My experience has in no way resembled the Salon description that states "you,our client deserve excellent and exceptional service and should be treated as an individual and not just a number '

IMy first visit to this salon. Haircut was ok - nice stylist. However, booked my appointment whilst looking at the website. I spoke to a girl at the Westbourne salon and made an appointment with a senior stylist which was £55.00 - when I came to pay - I was charged £63 - I said I had booked a senior stylist which was £55 - the two girls disagreed with me and said this could not have happened as they do not have any senior stylists in Westbourne (so why advertise the fact they have on the website price list ????). I really objected to the insuation that I was not telling the truth. Eventually they decided that as it was my first (and last !) time at the salon they would give me a 20% discount - which so I paid £50 . Fine - except I object to having to argue about payment and not getting what I booked for and is advertised on their website. Not great customer service - a bit sharp I would say.
