Had an absolutely horrendous experience at FUNK on Burton Road…read more My husband booked an appointment this morning for 2.30. He clearly said on the phone wash, cut and restyle, I was sat next to him. We arrive at 2.25 and are told to take a seat. A lady is still having her haircut and is finished around 2.45. The owner, I belive her name is Nicola didn't speak to us once. After the lady had left she then proceeded to show who I imagine was the apprentice how to sort out a tray of items ready for another client. At 2.50 a lady walks in, a client Nicola obviously knows and she greets her and is chatting away, she then asks the apprentice to move my daughter so this woman can sit down! Still doesn't ask my daughter her name or speak to her directly. She then puts the Cape on her and I'm wondering why she isn't taking her to the sink to get her hair washed... She asks what she's having done and I show her the photo. The conversation went as follows: Her (looking at the photo) That's a full restyle Me: Yes that's what I booked in. Her: A man rang and booked and didn't say it was a restyle. Me: That was my husband I was sat next to him and he said wash, cut and finish. Her : This is shaved at the bottom? Me:... Yes? She then turns to my daughter and in the most patronising voice asks do you want it shaved at the back? My daughter replies yes (for the record my daughter has wanted a pixie cut since she was about 8. She is 10 now and I decided to get it done at the beginning of the summer holidays so it was a bit longer for school come September.) Nicola than asks my daughter again : Are you SURE you want it shaved? She then turns to me and says in a SUPER rude and patronising voice 'this is a lot of styling, she won't be able to do it herself, will you be able to do this for her everyday?' I told her I would and that I was quite capable of choosing which haircut is suitable for my daughter and that it was HER who chose the style. Nicola then proceeds in telling me at 2.55pm that the lady say next to me is booked in at 3PM. And that she doesn't think we will be able to do this. No apology. No offer to rearrange. She also admitted that it was booked in wrongly as she expected a dry cut that takes 15 mins. She basically told me she wouldn't be cutting my daughter's hair because had gotten off on the wrong foot No, she didn't cut my daughter's hair because she overbooked, prioritised the client she had booked in at 3pm because she knew her and because she spoke to me and my daughter like we were stupid and incapable of styling a simple pixie cut. I spent money on a taxi to get there, revived no apologies for the inconvenience and received completely awful service and manners from the second we walked in. I cannot recommend this place at all and actively suggest you avoid it as they obviously don't listen on the phone when making appointments, they have a poor appointment system, they over book, they are not friendly at all, no offer or a drink or magazine etc... They totally ignore you, don't ask your name and to stop it off she talked to me like something on her shoe when she realised we wanted a restyle (I imagine she was trying to put us off she she could just do a dry trim and get her next client in). My daughter has been looking forward to this all week as an end of school treat and she ended up crying her eyes out, she's a sensitive girl and the way Nicola spoke to her was horrible. Definitely won't be going back.

I am usually a customer at Hairlounge in Withington, however, they were not available to style my…read morehair on the date needed as the shop closes early. I went to Funk on Burton Road which has longer opening times on that selected day and they were happy to help. I am so glad Hairlounge were not available to style my hair as Funk was absolutely fantastic .. From service to finish! I had a cut and blow dry, the stylist really knew what she was doing and knew how to achieve the look I wanted. As well as this it was around 12£ cheaper !! I will definitely be going back and would recommend it to anyone

I used to get my hair done here years ago on the regs when I was a student. It cost about £30 and…read morewas high quality work. Visited this place last Friday and it seems to have gone down hill, staff look like they need cheering up. Having said that, the work is still pretty decent and also seems to be cheaper than it used to be (£18 this time). Despite the flaws, this place is still considerably better than any of the hair places in Evesham lol

INT. COMPANY HAIR STUDIO, FALLOWFIELD. DAY…read more A young woman (BECCA) walks in, clutching a magazine folded open to a page. She's nervous, tugging at her shoulder length hair, and approaches RECEPTIONIST. RECEPTIONIST: Hiya, what can we do for you? BECCA: I, erm, I haven't made an appointment, but, I was wondering if you could fit me in for a cut? RECEPTIONIST: Yeah, sure. Just take a seat at the backwash. BECCA: OK. BECCA takes her seat, and is approached by HAIRDRESSER, who washes BECCA's hair with such frenzy and brutality that BECCA's scalp all but bleeds. HAIRDRESSER: Take a seat by that mirror please. BECCA does as she is told, scared that any insubordination on her part will result in further scalp laceration. HAIRDRESSER: What do you want done then? BECCA hands HAIRDRESSER the magazine. BECCA: A sort of bob, like that one there, circled in red. Just skimming my jawline, with a sweepy fringe, and layers. HAIRDRESSER: No problem, love. Here, read this Cosmopolitan magazine whilst I cut your hair. Whilst HAIRDRESSER busies herself with scissors and combs and whatnot, BECCA reads with interest about Drew Barrymore's tempestuous life, and is shocked to learn that Ms Barrymore snorted her first line of coke at 13. BECCA looks very thoughtful, contemplating how together and sorted Ms Barrymore seems, and what a personal triumph it must have been for her to overcome her demons like that, and still have a totally intact nose. BECCA is dragged from her reverie by HAIRDRESSER. HAIRDRESSER: There you go, do you like it? BECCA looks in mirror. All thoughts of Drew Barrymore are gone. BECCA realises haircut looks familiar. BECCA realises haircut is exact same as early-90s Princess Diana. BECCA starts to sort-of cry. BECCA: This, erm, it's not, quite, erm, like the picture, is it? HAIRDRESSER (angrily): It's exactly like the picture. BECCA(fearing further remonstrations and scalp-pain): Oh. Yes. Well I suppose you know best. Er.... HAIRDRESSER: Pay at reception. HAIRDRESSER disappears into back room. BECCA picks up belongings, leaving pride shattered on floor next to informative Drew Barrymore article, and makes way to reception. RECEPTIONIST: That'll be £40 please. BECCA (holding back tears of fury and disbelief): OK. BECCA leaves, never to return.

Once upon a time not so long ago I had a work meeting with the regional marketing manager of Vidal…read moreSassoon. The meeting lasted about half an hour and she talked in detail about the science of hair and the "Hair academies" from which a conveyor belt of future Sassoon hair stylists graduated. I suppose in some way l thought credit was due to some random bloke 60 years ago who turned the very simple task of cutting excess hair into some kind of pseudo science. I also appreciate the fact there are variations in facial size/shape and your lid is no different and thus certain styles suit some people more than others. But there was a nagging sense that they'd gone a tad too far with it? The salons felt empty of feeling at the expense of "chique" interior design, there was a coldness, a seriousness about it all. I remember the first time I went to Tony's and told him this particular story. His retort was too expletive ridden for me to repeat here but the narrative carried some weight not to mention incredible comedy value. That particular random visit turned into a bit of a defining moment in my hair grooming life story and I've returned monthly ever since. The barbershop really is one of kind with memorabilia all over the walls relating to Tony's passions, namely cars, football and old school comic strips. It's a film maker's dream and I've suggested it as a location to few friends. There is something deeply addictive about Italian culture and its profound humanism. Tony wears his heart on his sleeve and boy is it a good'un. His stories are both legendary and hilarious. He treats each customer as if they're family but I'd like to think I'm one of his favourites. The cappuccino he makes is sublime and he's a very good listener and hugger. He might not be a graduate from some high end hairstyling academy, but getting your hair cut from Tony's will leave you feeling a million bucks. I can't recommend it highly enough.
