Vintage Rocks

I have been to a lot of hairdressers in my time, and these ladies are the best. They really listen to what you want and they aren’t afraid to give it to you! Everytime I leave this place l feel great about my hair!

Decided to book myself a wee appointment here on recommendations from a few friends. Staff are all really friendly and none of the usual «going anywhere nice on holiday chat» just normal conversation about all sorts of randomness. As I was going out the following evening the stylist offered to curl & pin my hair with me taking it down again just before going out. Loved how she cut my hair and it looked great going out last night… first time my hair has successfully been curled and stayed in more than an hour. Think I have finally found a hairdresser that I will go to regularly

Me oh my! Vintage Rocks is a rocking little hair parlour a skip away from Forestside shopping centre in South Belfast.
Inside it is a cutesy girly haven with a rock ‘n’ roll edge. The salon is the only Vintage (with a rockabilly twist) hair salon in Belfast and perhaps Northern Ireland. In fact when I talked to the ladies, we got to thinking it might just be the only one in Ireland so you lucky Belfast ladies (and gents) should take advantage of this gem on your doorstep.
The décor is like a dream. All shiny big black and white tiles, glam mirrors with bulbs around them, ornate frames, vintage dress on busts– look closer and you’ll see some rock ‘n’ roll twists like the fender on a luscious leopard print seat, day of the dead skulls and foxy pin up ladies adorning the wall above the sinks. I loooove it.
But the most important thing about this, indeed any salon, is the quality of the hair stylists themselves. And luckily the ladies at vintage rocks rock!
Clare Afshar, the head stylist and owner gave my friend Susan a fantastic cut which had people gushing all day! The lovely Kathy McLean did my mop and was happy to talk me through some options and helped me decide on a cool chop. Kathy also advised on an excellent aftercare product– Black and White Pomade for messing up hair without weighing it down– apparently Johnny Cash used it– get that!!! All the stylists at Vintage Rocks have knowledge of vintage and artistic cutting for weddings, formals, fashion shows and photoshoots. Personally I’d love to get a voucher for a place like this for a girlie pampering and think it would make an awesome birthday pressie. There’s also some cool handmade jewelry under the counter that might float your boat.
For only £35 each (for a wash, cut and blow-​dry) we went away feeling very pleased with ourselves. And I got a yummy chocolate bun. Win!
Come here if you want a haircut that stands out from the crowd. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to all the cool ladies I know. I mean where else could you get a hair cut whilst listening to The Cramps and New York Dolls? Super fantastique!
