Hair @ 1618

One of the assistants in work highly recommended Adam at this salon, and used the carrot of him working Sundays to entice me in!
Firstly, they pleased me by answering emails. I hate when places expect me to call. It’s not 1990! I don’t do phone calls nowadays. Anyway, wanted to take advantage of an offer they had for first visits where it was discounted, but that was only available Monday to Friday, meaning that I ended up making my appointment for a Friday morning when I was on leave, and with Fiona who is one of the directors.
I hate going to the hairdresser. I don’t trust them! They lie, and when they make mistakes I cry. Spoiler alert: I didn’t cry after my 1618 visit.
On arrival, I was welcomed and offered something to drink. I discussed what I wanted with Fiona before being taken away for a shampoo. Good wash (that’s my favourite bit) then back for the cut. She listened and offered suggestions. I decided to got a fringe for a change. She was pleasant and didn’t take too much off my length which was good. The fringe probably ended up a bit short though and definitely needed to be straightened every day for the first couple of weeks. I suppose the upside is that it didn’t need trimming for 2 months!
People liked the new ‘do so thumbs up for that.
Fringe trims are free for the first 12 weeks. It’s on a walk-​in basis, however unfortunately that meant that they had no time for me when I was being blinded by my too-​long fringe so I ended up trimming it myself. Hmmm. She also didn’t remember me, sadly. Must be my ordinary face.
They have ads up for Botox etc, but I think I’d leave that to a more medical environment, personally.
Good people watching opportunities thanks to location near house of Fraser and Great Western Arcade.
All in all, pretty happy. Might return, but probably trying somewhere else first. Not sure I’ve found my forever hair salon.
