You should never scrimp on three things in life… 1. Toothpaste 2. Bin Bags 3. Haircuts Think about it… your hair is important! It needs to occupy a place of priority in your life. Essensuals on John Dalton Street became my regular hairdressers in 2007 and these days its the only place I use. Its not the cheapest place to get a mop chop but its far from the most expensive. In fact prices are quite reasonable as far as gents prices go ranging from £30 for a cut and blow dry by a regular stylist to £41 for for an appointment with the Creative Director(for women its £36 — £50). In my view its worth paying that bit extra for at least a style director, after all for about £11 extra you’re getting somebody with way more experience. I use Paul Simpson the Style Director and Salon manager, I’ve never been disappointed. The atmosphere at the John Dalton Street salon is pretty different to a regular toni & guy salon and is very relaxed and almost serene. The staff are friendly and offer free consultations. Drinks are also complimentary. All in all well worth a visit.
