Very Bad Experience With Senior Hairstylist

Louise Dutton

Appointment verified by Shortcuts Software

I had a very bad experience with the hairstylist *****. She did not give me the cut that I asked for and the cut was very uneven. She also cut my neck with the scissors and refused to accept that she had until my neck started bleeding. Even then there was no genuine apology. I am very shocked that a hairdresser would do this during a difficult time with covid.

I am super happy with my fresh blonde from Santino. It’s always a smooth professional experience with good chat. He is an expert at the different tones of blonde as I fluctuate between warm and cool when I fancy a change! He is fast and efficient which I like.
Nancy set my hair beautifully, she really gets the classic vintage style that I like and is very gentle which I like when I have freshly bleached wet hair and a sensitive scalp.

I have been getting my hair cut by Eva for about 5 years. Eva listens and pays attention to her clients needs and desires. She diplomatically gives her expert advice, without contradicting the clients wants. She recommends and suggests ideas, clearly explaining how each will result on my specific hair type.
She is professional and reasurring; thoughtful and intelligent. She gives good chat whilst she works.
I would definitely recommend her.

Both Simon & Santino were exceptional in expertise, professionalism, creativity, and complete knowledge and understanding of the individual, me! I had ventured to go out for the first time in months, and I cannot rate them highly enough! There are many mechanical hairdressers, however, a gifted artistic hairdresser is rare! Especially during the times we are living in, hiding behind a mask & it’s the first time they have met me, so from Simon’s cutting skills, his hairdressing technique, coupled with Santino’s skilful flair for colour, it was a great combination. The entire team from Laura in reception, to Megan who washed my hair, every single person made you feel at ease when I was actually filled with trepidation. I am so pleased my daughter told me to go there. A great salon in every single way.

Simon is more than just a hairdresser he understands and likes woman and provides an exactly tailored service to each client. Mind you I really admire his patience and objectivity when he has to deal with some of the areas most difficult clients. No detail in the salon escapes his notice and although he rules with an iron fist it is well concealed in a velvet fist,
