As much as I understand the appeal of boutique hair salons, sometimes they seem a little bit over the top to me. Sometimes, all I want is a quick and efficient hair cut with little interaction and little time spent over the whole blasted affair. Angelo’s offers exactly that. I walked in, told them what I wanted, sat down, and had it done in 20 minutes. There was no talking, because I didn’t want any. I was tired and grumpy because I live a busy life, and I was having to take time away from it just to have a haircut, but that was ok, because it was over so quickly! So many upmarket stylists specialise in making your haircut a pleasurable experience, or something to make an afternoon of, drinking wine and chatting in good company. However, If I’m going to take an afternoon to do something, I want it to be more fun than a haircut, no matter how awesome that haircut may be. That said, Angelo’s is still fairly average. An average cut at an average price in average space. So it gets an average rating. But for something that I usually consider such a bother, average is fine with me.

3.5 stars I walked right in here. These guys did a decent job, pretty friendly, no-nonsense, and reasonably priced. Nothing remarkable, but not too shabby either.

First off, I’d say that the hairdressers are efficient, but not very talkative — which to be honest is what I prefer as I’d like to get my hair cuts done quickly. A shampoo + cut and finish costs 12.50 pounds, which is okay for the area. One thing to note though is that credit cards are not accepted, which would be very irritating if there wasn’t a NatWest less than 5 minutes away. The place is rather small, so I doubt it can fit more than 5 clients. While I’m not sure whether it is really only for men, I’ve only ever seen men there, so I suppose it is.
