It all started out so promisingly… I recently changed jobs and with that change lost my stylist as my old and new offices were too far apart for lunch-time appointments. With two very small children and a husband who works weekends, hair appointments have to take place during my working week lunch break.

Anyhow, I found this place online and emailed them to make an appointment for the following day. I got a message on my mobile from a very pleasant lady saying that she couldn’t get hold of me regarding the appointment time so she’d blocked out two appointments and I could call to let her know which I preferred.

The salon itself is sleek and stylish and everyone has gorgeous hair so it boded well. I explained to the stylist that I wanted my hair shaped and thinned out so that I could mess it up/spike it or wear it flat.

The stylist was very friendly and snipped away for a good hour, quite a feat considering my hair is very short anyway! I was really disappointed with the outcome. My hair had been thinned out so much that I couldn’t do anything but wear it completely flat. When I got home, my husband also pointed out that wear my hair had been cut over my ear, the stylist had gone too far and I actually had a 1cm bald spot! Not what you expect when you’ve just parted with £45.

Maybe it was an off-day or just an off-haircut but I’m not prepared to take a risk and give this place another chance.
