Karda Beauty

Avoid it!!! I have been recently for a colour & cut with a voucher bought from Wowcher... Will never again do this silly mistake... All the hairdressers were just kids , all just over 20's clearly without experience and looking very insecure . The colour was ok but the haircut was a disaster, perhaps he didn't understand the style i wanted because of the language barrier an his lack of experience( as there was no cutting method he was just chopping the hair with the thinning scissors)...now i should just wait fir my hair to grow to be able to reshape it... Just avoid this salon if you don''t want to regret!

I went to this hairdresser in May and June 2012 with a groupon and was happy enough with the cut and color.
I just re-read by accident, the comments of other clients on other sites and was almost frightened to go back.
Still, I went on 1st February at 12h30.
I guess they had read all previous negative comments as  now on the contrary everyone was VERY FRIENDLY .

I was even offered a complimentary coffee

 I had a haircut and color with DOROTHY . She speaks english well. She could remember me clearly from my past visits .
The color that SHE chose is PERFECT for me and the CUT is PERFECT as well.

I paid £40 which for wash - color - cut - blow dry is an EXTREMELY GOOD DEAL.

I am always surprised how much people on Groupon can complaint and want all for nothing.

I live in KNIGHTSBRIDGE and I would say I am a demanding client.

 I RECOMMEND  the hairdresser DOROTHY at KARDA WITHOUT HESITATION.

This is the worst experience I have EVER had with a hairdressers.  Do NOT go.  If I could have given no stars at all, I would have.  They scam you for more money than initially agreed (despite calling twice to confirm the price), based on "length" then only dye the roots anyway, and even that is just slapped on, not highlights so it looks natural. Nobody can tell any difference from when I walked in, even though it was supposed to be dyed.  Worst of all, I've been itching with an allergic reaction ever since which is strange given that I've been having my hair dyed for 15 years and never experienced a reaction.  Complete nightmare.  I will be requesting a refund from groupon immediately.   

NOT A GOOD HAIRDRESSER! BEWARE FOLKS!! 
Despite the location - South Kensington - and the pretentious decor, the salon is run down (worn wall coverings) and unclean. Heaps of brushes stare from the trolleys wrapped in a blanket made of layers of different people's hair. Yuck! The sun shines right through the high glass windows and with no cooling system inside, sitting in the waiting row of chairs by the entrance or at the first work position by the window was like been roasted in the oven. Despite the hot day there was no offer of drinks and I had to ask for a glass of water. The staff were at  best of times indifferent, but when confronted on any issue, outright rude. My choice of colour was totally ignored (and ended up several shades darker than my original colour), I had to insist to have a skin protecting cream to prevent the dye from staining my skin, which is normal routine anywhere else. The developing time was extended well after the due time to accommodate the needs of the "stylist" and allow her to finish off another victim, before I could be washed! During the whole colouring procedure and  while blow-drying my hair, the "stylist" never payed me any attention, (except once for emphasizing how much gray hair I had! - which of course made me feel good) Instead, she  continued an animated conversation in an Eastern European Language with the rest of the personnel, idling sitting around us. 
Even the hairwash was disappointing:  rough, uncomfortable and on the whole, unprofessional. When it came to cutting ... well, I refused to have her scissors onto my hair, having watched her with other clients! and I still thank my presence of spirit! From what I was able to see the cutting skill was limited to the random use of thinning scissors. There were no decent styles produced while I was there. On the whole, however, as I had a Groupon voucher and only paid £39.00 for a full colour, wash and blow-dry, I was prepared to overlook the shortcomings, but this salon is definitely not worth the £160.00 full price. There was  also a strange atmosphere, with lots of comings and goings of people walking in and disappearing in the back through a small door in the wall and up a narrow staircase, presumably for beauty treatments and massage ...  nevertheless the whole setting was more evocative of some other alternative activity

wouldnt even give it 1 star - avoid at all costs they are rip off merchants

I smelled a rat as soon as I entered  for my Groupon hair cut and colour. They were sullen and unfriendly at reception. When they sat me down, I was offered a cup of black coffee and dumped it in the hair trolley, not on the mirror shelf in front of me, which I thought was odd. Then the problems began. A hairdresser came across to me, took one look at my head of hair grabbed a bunch of it and casually exclaimed that my hair was too thick to carry a normal quantity of hair colour and that I needed to pay another fiver for full coverage. I objected. Never in my life has any hairdresser ever said that to me and I have been going to hairdressers for colour for 20 odd years. My hair is very fine, not thick, and takes a regular amount of colour perfectly well, thank you. I refused to pay over the deal I'd paid and she walked away and attended to another girl who had just entered and was being seated. I then overheard her say to this lady that her hair was too dark and she needed more than the usual amouint of hightlights and would have to pay another fiver 

I got up and walked out. I know scammers when I see them. Clearly their policy for Groupon vocher holders was that your hair was too this; too that; too the other and, because it was 'too this, too that, too the other, you had to pay more for them to carry through the Groupon deal.  

I am now complaining to Groupon and will be asking for a full refund.  

AVOID!
