I have been going to Francesco Church Lane for many years and would never consider going anywhere else. Everyone is so friendly and professional. They always take time to find out what you want, never assuming that its ' just the usual '. Chesca is an amazing colourist, especially for someone like me who is quite nervous about colouring my hair. It always looks completely natural, just enhanced and healthy, just as I want. Cannot fault the salon in any way.

Hi everyone today I revisited the salon in church lane, after moving away from Stafford 36 years ago, . Kerry was my hair stylist back then when my hair was black today my hair is silver and the salon hasn’t lost its warm friendly atmosphere, it was lovely to catch up with lost time, and Kerry certainly hasn’t lost his touch with cutting my fine fly away hair into a lovely soft feminine style.
Thank you 💇‍♀️

Poor experience in a usually fantastic salon

Anonymous
15th Oct 2023

The stylist was a fairly new addition to the stylists here. She was running late (- and said she had been all day.), and was clearly struggling to manage her time effectively.
She appeared to understand how I wanted my hair done (ie shorter at the back, with medium length layers on the top and sides). However, what I’ve had done seemed to be step-down layers which are far shorter than desired or requested, and have given me a “hedgehog” cut all over the top. I am struggling to style it in any decent way due to it having been cut too short (-certainly a lot shorter than I asked for; and I’d asked for “layered” not a “step-down” cut).
This was a disappointing experience, especially as I’m now struggling to know how to style it until it grows out.
This is a rare poor experience in an otherwise high quality salon. I will continue to go to this salon, but unlikely to that stylist.

Always made to feel welcome. First time had Genma cut my hair. Used to be Ben but he left earlier in the year. Gemma was lovely. Well pleased with how she cut my hair. Loveky, bubbly person. The young girl who shampooed my hair was also lovely and very polite. Best hair wash I have had. Felt as if she was taking all the stress out if me. Thank you Kate and thank you Gemna. Came out of salon feeling totally refreshed

People were very attentive and kind, however, I am not very satisfied with the service.

When washing the hair, the hairdresser did not wash either my head or hair thoroughly. She did not even reach the bottom of my head which remained unwashed. It was a very fast process, and only used shampoo, no conditioner or mask even though my hair needed it.

I went for a shorter cut than usual and we agreed to keep a layer on. I did not see her cutting the layer and when I asked if the layer was on, she said yes. When I got home I noticed I had some longer hairs on the front making my hair clearly unbalanced and the layer was not on. Unfortunately, I had to cut the uneven part myself and I will need to go somewhere else to get my layer done.

The blow drying was good and made it look as a nice result initially, however, I wouldn’t recommend it and wouldn’t come back.
