Everything was fine, until I got home and found that I now have a lopsided hair cut. It is a very large amount of money to pay and then find that one side of my cut is much higher than the other. Disappointing. I am trying to hide this fact, but it is quite hard to do. I know I don't have much hair, but I do think it should be a GOOD haircut. I do not feel I received Value for Money this time. PS: for my last two visits, I did not receive a confirmation email as was done in the past.

I was happy with my experience over all. The salon is lovely and all of the staff were very friendly. However, I am unfortunately quite disappointed with the quality of my hair cut/colour. I wanted balayage and I showed a picture of how I wanted it to be done. My hair is ok but not what I had in mind. It is not as blonde as I had wanted it (looking overall very similar to my hair when I went in to the salon). The lady who did my hair was so lovely and she explained that she didn't want to leave an obvious line - unfortunately there is quite an obvious line where the foils started. The cut and treatment were really nice - but the colouring job did not meet expectations. But I can't stress enough how friendly everyone was!

I have been both happy & disappointed with my salon experience. John does an amazing hair cut & style, great eye for detail, however very expensive & I am not in a financial position to go to the salon every 5 weeks. I have used a voucher for 2 visits ( I think I have been 4 times in total) & always spend more to get the full service that I need. The colour has been a bit hit & miss, I attended the salon today and although I was told the colour was the same as I had last time, it is much darker & I will talk to the salon about it. Also, today my scalp was very itchy after the colour & not sure if different product was used. The staff are always friendly & welcoming.

It is very hard for me to rate this salon because my good experience with it (good and attentive cut and colour) was overshadowed by a very bad surprise at the end. I went on a groupon and was very impressed with the treatment I received. At the end I was charged an additional $120 for a "semi-permanent colour between foils". This was something that I was not asked or informed about. When it was happening (about a 10 minute process after my foils) I tried to ask my colourist what she was doing but she was quite evasive. I finally said "Is it like a toner?" and she answered "Yes". I assumed this was included as I was not asked but if they had charged me for a toner at the end (usually around $20 - $30) I would not have been upset although I do think you should always let the customer know! I was quite shocked but I did pay - partly out of guilt for having gotten such value for my original groupon. It did continue to bother me though as it felt like they intentionally misled me so I called them back the next day and explained what had happened. The woman on the phone was quite sympathetic and told me should would get back to me after figuring out "what they could do". That was 10 days ago. It's a shame because I went looking for a new salon and was pretty convinced I would go back up to that point.
