J R’s Hair Studio

Of all the hairdressers in the area JR’s is well and truly bottom of my list. They may have a fancy little nail bar in the corner and they may give you a nice head massage when you’re getting your hair washed but I am not fooled by any of it! This place is all about making money and they don’t even attempt to hide it. I used to get my hair cut and coloured by the salon director and the last time I did I left in tears and never returned. I immediately went to neighboring salon Canvass and they fixed it pronto for a fraction of the price.
Whenever I went to JR’s I would barely be in the door before they were trying to get me to do all sorts of things to my hair that I didn’t want done. There is no such thing as «just an inch off the bottom» at JR’s. They give you the hard sell and convince you that you really do want to go from ebony black to platinum blonde even though the thought had never entered your head before. Also I was often left sitting with dye on my hair for a lot longer than was needed and often had to remind the staff that I was there! What’s more is that I had no idea why considering the place is practically empty most of the time!
My least favorite thing about JR’s though is that they push products on you like nothing I have ever seen. As soon as you agree that, hmm yes I supposed £15 is reasonable for a 250ml bottle of shampoo, they are saying, well you can’t have the shampoo without the conditioner, and the hair serum, and the weekly nourishing treatment! Before you know it you have spent a small fortune on products which are no better than something you could get from the supermarket. Or maybe it’s just me. Maybe I should just grown some gonads and tell them I don’t want their stupid products!
