Colour/cut/blow dry 7.3.20 Hinckley

Wonderful staff, attention & care second to none as usual & love my end result, thank you Charlotte.
However! Carl, you need to get your finger out and get your Hinckley salon up to a standard your staff deserve. The coffee machine is still not working, which it wasn’t on my last visit meaning your staff are only able to offer a limited amount of refreshments. The smoke alarm went off several times while I was there which was remedied by a member of staff poking it with a brush handle and the front door being opened for a few minutes, which incidentally I was sat beside. Finally, prior to my final treatment being washed off the boiler stopped producing hot water and the kettle had to be boiled to fill a jug to do the final rinse. I find this totally unacceptable and no doubt some embarrassment for your wonderful staff and all for a final bill of £122. Carl, I really think you need to address these issues if you want to charge for a top class service.

Response from Fox Hair Design - Barwell

Moria, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry that you experienced a number of issues and felt the need to bring them to my attention.

Let me go through these for you and give an explanation. I can assure you that this is not a case of me "needing to get my finger out". Looking at your record card you bill was £111 for services and £11 for retail items. For the services that you received, root colour, partial highlights, olaplex and a cut & finish we believe this represents excellent value for money. However, I take your points on board and apologise that your visit wasn't up to our normal excellent level of service.

1. The commercial coffee machine is under a maintenance contract, and has been looked at twice in recent weeks. The part required is out of stock. This has been ordered but is coming from the manufacturer overseas. A fire at the factory has caused a delay in production. We are offering a far from limited hot drinks menu: coffee prepared with freshly ground beans from my own bean to cup (from home), decaffeinated coffee served in a cafetière, hot chocolate, and a selection of teas including english breakfast, earl grey, decaffeinated, peppermint, blueberry, lemon & ginger, rooibos, camomile to name but a few. The only thing we have no facility for at present is steaming milk for cappuccino or latte.

2. The property is mixed use, there are two flats on the first floor and a neighbouring commercial property. By law all fire detectors within the property have to be linked. If the alarm sounded in the salon, it is likely that it was caused by a tenant in the properties above. I will ask the managing agents to investigate when they reopen. We can silence the alarm in the salon by pressing and holding the button, similar to a domestic smoke alarm.

3. Hot water, I can but apologise. We have a 180 litre hot water tank specifically designed for hair salons. , I have visited the salon following your feedback; the hot water tank has two emersion heating elements, one of the timers appeared to be showing the wrong time, presumably following a power outage. This has now been reset and both heating elements are working simultaneously.

Should you wish to contact me further regarding your visit please email me at [email protected] or telephone 01455 245245

This was my first visit to Fox Hair Design in Barwell. If you are ever thinking of changing your hair salon then I would highly recommend Fox Hair Design in Barwell. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Jodie sat down and asked my about my hair and what I would like today. I was made to feel welcome and really relaxed. I don’t get my hair cut as often as I should but will definitely be going back. For my first visit I received a welcome gift which I love. Thank you so much and see you soon x

After struggling with my hair for a few months and popping into nearby salons just for advice ..only to come out still not knowing wat to do.. I then popped into fox hair and spoke to georgia.. my hair was breaking..felt dry and horrid after yrs of using box dyes..and many off the shelf products it had took its toll..georgia greeted me with a smile..asked questions on my routine and offered me advice..and told me about the different products and we spoke about a plan going forward..I came out feeling positive..at ease and looked forward to going for my first appointment..since then my hair looks healthy..shiny..feels so much healthier.. and the products make a big difference along with a hairdresser you have faith in and cant do enough for you..always professional.. a smile..and advice and a good chat..makes you feel welcome.. even tho i talk away and ask many questions lol.. as a sufferer of anxiety get quite nervous so I'd always had a trim at home.. but cant praise georgia and fox hair enough for all there help..thank you x

Response from Fox Hair Design - Barwell

Thank you Vicky for your review. I'd like to assure you that we don't make small price increases without careful consideration. The price of a cut and blow-dry has risen by £1. This represents a 2.4% increase, whilst our cost base in the same period has risen by 8%. Like all businesses, to carry on trading, we have little choice but to increase our prices when changes in legislation (wage rates and pension contributions) and supplier price increases occur.
