Architect Hairdressing Salon

And again!
What is going on with me!? This place is just great!
no nonsense babbling about holidays or the like. I have got good film recommendations (Magic Mike (cheeky!) and Shutter Island), proper catch up and amazing hair.
I would now like to take Shannon home so that she can massage my head every night. And as always Emma is freaking hilarious and artist of the hair world. Love you daaaarlings

I’ve been back for a second appointment with Louise and, every time, just entering the salon is like a reunion with old friends. The welcome is always warm from each member of staff, and they always make sure you’ve a drink, a seat and something to read. Another point worth noting is that the coffee is real coffee, not instant, which is certainly an extra perk!
The salon itself is light, impeccably clean, airy and a calming space to be. Every consultation I’ve had with Louise has been so informative, much more so than with any other salon I’ve been to, especially where colouring hair has been concerned. Reminders, such as the fact that the hair I have is many years old now so I’ve to look after it, are really useful — I rarely consider that my hair is so old, and obviously it’s hard/​nigh on impossible to fix broken hair, so the advice is very pertinent.
Whilst I toyed with the idea of going blond (yikes!) the fact that it would be very tough on my long hair made me return to the striking red that I’ve come to love. On the first appointment, we lightened up previous home-​dye jobs, to allow the colour to shine through. Looking through the booklet we discussed a mixture of the brightest and a slightly deeper red, and on both occasions it has looked utterly vibrant and beautiful! The quality of the dye used is fantastic, and has far out-​lasted the sub-​standard home-​dye kits I’ve used before. Plus, I’m certain it’s kinder to my hair!
The process lasted, as expected, a few hours for the dying, washing and treatments. My hair felt wonderful afterwards, and it was a much needed revitalisation for my previously tired locks. Because my hair is so long now, styling is a little tricky, but with Louise at the helm I’ve come away with a great cut. Nothing overtly ‘stylised’, but I have the length tidied and intact, and a sweeping sort of fringe to shape my face. Parfait! The best bit? I barely have to do a thing for it to sit right, which is the biggest achievement –I’m not very good, or patient, with hair so that’s wonderful for me, and certainly the mark of a talented stylist.
Although pricing is on the higher end of the scale, the experience and care you receive is absolutely worth it. I would totally recommend the salon to anyone, especially if you’re in need of advice. Give them a visit, and give yourself a proper pamper. It’s a fantastic salon!
Can’t wait for my next appointment.
