AVOID TONI & GUY BIRMINGHAM
My appointment was on Friday 23 April 2021 and the balayage was very disappointing.
I was charged an additional £60 unknowingly, totalling £190. Apparently this was for toner & Wellaplex that I was told were being used, however I was not informed that they would come at an additional cost. Had I known, I would have been more than happy to pay however I feel very misled here. The stylist in question has since lied about this. Apparently as the prices on the website say 'from' they are allowed to charge whatever they like without discussing it first.
Following a complaint, the Birmingham district manager was extremely rude to me. She began the conversation by requesting that I email her directly from now on to avoid the emails going to head office - an immediate red flag. A full breakdown of her comments are on my TrustPilot review.
I do not dye my hair frequently as I do genuinely worry about damage to my hair. I have already noticed that my hair is weaker, much more brittle and harder to comb through after washing following the initial treatment. Worryingly, T&G have implied with their comments that bleaching my hair again will cause no further damage.
This experience has caused me a huge amount of stress to the point that I now feel very anxious about visiting another Toni & Guy salon again in the future.
T&G have offered another Balayage however I have lost all confidence, trust and respect for the organisation. Upon receiving my complaint they stated that "the Birmingham salon is a Franchise Partner and therefore the Franchise Partner is responsible for matters such as this. Head Office can offer hairdressing support where necessary but beyond that we can do no more. The salon is a franchise and therefore a completely separate company."
The only reason I chose this salon was due to the Toni & Guy name, however I urge you NOT to pay if you are unhappy as the customer service is shocking and they will not take responsibility.
