Awful… seriously avoid this place. Asked for a trim, haircut was going well, confirmed with the ‘stylist’ that the length was fine suddenly it’s all hacked off… shocking. She confirmed she heard me say it was fine but she thought it was too long so hacked it off anyway! Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry! Walked out after refusing to allow her to neaten it up… such an awful experience.

I went to this salon yesterday mainly because it is one of the only ones in the area, though it looked nice from outside and I thought I would give it a shot. Considering my men’s cut was £15 (no hairwash) I would expect a proficient stylist, however I was very disappointed.
Both ladies in the salon were very nice but it was clear from the offset that they did not understand modern, young styles. When I sat down I was told to say when she started cutting too short, as she had been cutting everyone’s hair too short all day long! I was treated to a mix of short and long cutting; the result, a rather hacked at fringe making me look like I was heavily receding Even heavy styling won’t hide the uneven fringe and bald side bits I have (or should I say had) a full head of hair! No option other than to let it grow out now.
Perhaps they are better with women’s hair, but I felt from the offset that the ‘stylist’ was essentially winging it. All my friends have agreed that it is a very poor cut, especially for a salon, as opposed to a cheap barbers which would have been a better choice.
Posting this as I could find no info on the salon before booking and paid the price. Would happily have spent an extra £5−10 to get a proper professional cut. I imagine the majority of young men in the area know the places to go but having moved recently I was clearly out the loop
edit: also charged an extra 50p for card payment never been to a salon which has done this before.
