Diva

While I’m a fan of neither the name nor the décor, this is a good spot for a haircut. Prices are low (particularly for students) and the staff are lovely. I’ve had two cuts here. The first was great, the second (different person) not so super dooper as I was slightly attacked with the thinning scissors. I did announce my desire (several times) not to resemble a mushroom when I let my short, thick, curly hair dry naturally though so perhaps I’m partially to blame. True indeed, there was not a sign of mushroominess as far as I’m aware but I lost a lot of hair, and it grew out a bit funny. On the plus side, that was in December and it seems to have grown into a second hairstyle recently so I still don’t have to go to get it chopped again, handy! Now, if only I’d taken the name of the first hairdresser. Anyway, if someone mentions a thinning scissors, proceed with caution, otherwise, it’s a fine hairdressers, c*

how this salon remains in business i do not know. please people do not book at this salon. the owner is so unprofessional, the salon (and lowry hair salon in cheadle) is dirty and grubby. the sooner this business folds the better for everyone

When you’re in the market for a bit of self-​pampering and fancy delving into complete self-​absorption for a while, people might refer to you as a diva. Well then, isn’t this an aptly-​named little salon!
Handily located round the corner from me in Withington, Diva’s signs state that it offers manicures, pedicures, waxes, spray tans, haircuts and all sorts of beauty treatments, and it certainly delivers. Gloriously and shamelessly decked out in fuschia and black, its honest and friendly staff will instantly put you at ease and the sheer volume of magazines available to peruse at your leisure means you shan’t spend a bored moment in there. What’s better than having your toes preened whilst spying on the latest antics of Jordan? It’s pure guilty decadence.
All in all I had a perfectly adequate manicure and pedicure with a choice of high quality nail colours and friendly banter to boot. They’ve stood the 24 hour test so far, and they’re a nice little intro to my holiday. Toodles, and thanks Diva!

Diva hair salon is the worst hair salon i have ever been to in my entire life. She asked what colour i wanted so i showed her pictures and explained and she did not deliver, she showed me a caramel blonde colour when i had rang up for an overall colour and she gave me highlights which i said i did not want. The cut was the worst cut i had ever had and the finish was awful, being a student giving 50 pounds up for something i hated was hard. I went home rang up with my complaints and the owner was rude and argumentative. DO NOT GO TO DIVA! IT IS TACKY AND UNPROFESSIONAL.

I wouldn’t call myself a Diva either Lauren, but that maybe because I have a male reproductive organ.
Still, as I said in my review of the nearby Dylan Robert, in a bygone time I was one of those boys who cares a little too much about their hair. For that reason I went to places such as Diva, rather than being normal and going to a normal barber.
If you don’t want to avoid having your barnet made silly though, it is worth going to places like this. Though it may well be more expensive for girls, here at Diva, just like as Dylan Robert, a lad can get his hair cut for around the £10 mark, with a student discount.
This place is pretty good. Good enough for me to return twice actually. But I’d have to say for standard boys hair cuts Dylan Robert just pips it, and its slightly cheaper to boot.
Here they do have some really cool TV screens built into the mirrors, which is a really cool idea and a perfect way to alleviate the boredom of getting your hair cut whilst simultaneously serving the wishes of the hair dresser by keeping your head in one place. However, the down side is that these screens are not being used to their full potential, and are always playing boring stuff on loop with no sound because there’s music on. Error.

A fairly basic salon, in Withington, offering hair and beauty services. I’d not really recommend it if you’re after anything really adventurous, but if you want a basic trim and don’t fancy paying extortionate prices, this is a fine place to go.
Sun beds are good too, and the nail bar does some good deals.
Simple interior, nothing fancy. Not the kind of place that has plasma screens and the latest soundtrack. Good student discount available on weekdays.
Simple, no fuss, but not ‘cutting edge’ style (excuse the pun).
