Not impressed

Rebecca (Becks)

***** ruined my hair. Cut it un-even, and took a lot more off the front than I asked for (asked for an inch off - between one and 2 inches taken off back but front she took FOUR inches off. I stopped her when she cut the first piece - her response "it's hair it will grow". By then of course unless I wanted to look really bad had to let her try and match the rest. She also took a strand to color match from top of my head not underneath so now have big tuft showing. Didn't bother ringing back for results of color test based on experience. Shame - it seemed a busy place so I thought it would be good. But sadly put me off returning ever again. And also very very expensive.

I would recommend Peter to anyone. His knowledge is superb, his advice is invaluable, and unlike some other hairdressers, I feel that he cares about what is best for my hair rather than just constantly trying to sell me styling products I don't need. Once you try him, you never need to look for another hairdresser.

Krista spent time listening to what I wanted and what I can cope with (I am not good at hair so need and appreciate a good cut). Then from the washing, which was very well done and relaxing, through to the bit with the mirror at the end this was a really good salon experience and I am very pleased with my new style. Thank you, Krista!

Despite living a long way away I come back to Box to get my hair done every time! Krista is fab - always listens to what I want and gives an honest opinion about what will suit me and my hair type - both colour and cut. Visited today for a half head of highlights (lovely natural look) and restyle. Knowing I can trust the expertise at this salon meant I had the confidence to cut my long hair to shoulder length which I love.

Always professional and a real treat to visit - very pleased.

I come here for a cut and blow dry every 8 to 10 weeks. I usually have the same stylist as I find her style of cutting suits me. I never leave there feeling disappointed. The salon is usually very busy. All the staff are friendly and efficient . They make you feel very welcome. There is a good range of products for you to buy should you wish to.
All in all a great service.

Great hair appointment with Lucy; really happy with all my treatments, hair cut, colour and dry. Thanks Lucy.

One thing I would like to say that often when I want to buy a product it is not in stock. This Saturday was no exception. Although Lucy did her best to find an alternative which she did successfully - however not the product I wanted to buy or that she had recommended.

Today I saw Emma for my 1/2 head highlights, the resulting colour was even better thank before. Don't know how that's possible, she really is incredibly talented & knowledgeable. The only person other than Emma that I book in for a blow dry is Callum. He is absolutely fantastic at taming my hair and he will be a great asset to Box when that 2% of his apprenticeship is complete!
Having my hair in Emma or Callum's capable hands is always a relaxing and friendly experience.
