Regular customer, nothing but praise for this salon. All the staff are so friendly and professional. I’ve had colour, cut and extensions in the past and I cannot fault Strangeways. This time, Rachel coloured my hair wonderfully, and Danielle did a great job of thickening and volumising my fine hair with a cut. Thanks guys!

Quickest haircut I’ve ever had. Didn’t feel the value this time. Worst cut I’ve had which is not the norm. I’m not a frequent visitor, probably 2/3 times a year, but still expect quality with the prices. Have been using you for over 10 years

They never take your custom for granted no matter how long you have been going there. 5 stars every tine, I cannot praise them enough.

I’ve just visited the salon for the first time and it was great. I had my hair cut by Rachel and she was brilliant: she paid close attention to what I wanted - medium length ‘messy’ hair with short fringe (instead of getting the straighteners out like many do!) - and the cut is spot on. Cheers all!

Hairline roots

Lisa Winters

Appointment verified by iSalon Software

I booked for just a normal repeat , same colour hairline root touch up .
My normal stylist was stuck in traffic so another young stylist offered to do the hairline , while the colour was being applied I enquired why the colour being applied looked so different ( I was worried it was the wrong colour ) however I was informed it was that the product had been enhanced and it would be the same . After I was dried my hair parting looked like someone had drawn thick black marker down the middle of my head , at that point my normal stylist arrived and did it know why it had gone so dark and obvious , she said they would have to re apply the colour further down my length to mix in the colour difference so I had to go through the process again . After it was washed off again it was still too dark so a toner was applied , my stylist dried my hair and we could still see a difference in colour match but I couldn’t spend anymore time in the chair so she said if it looks to obvious after washing I should return . I was in the salon for 3 hours and had to pay for the service ,
I understand the product used may have changed and the stylist didn’t know to the extent the colour would differ however I now have darker longer roots That are visible and am worried that my under roots will show through . Having had the hairline done twice now , I think the salon should of done my whole roots to mix in the colour change or at the very least not charged me .
