Anyways they offer you a selection of drinks and I got an excellent hair washer lady who have me a stress melting neck massage. Made me feel less tense from my awful original cancelled experience. JAN was polite detailed and very adamant about making sure I got what I wanted with my hair. He curled my hair at the end as well to show me a potential perm look.

Well, Amour damaged my hair so badly that I'm probably going to have to just shave it off. And they left the toner in too long so it's now purple. PURPLE. I cried as they blowdryed it. This was the worst experience I have had in over a decade of going to hair salons. Four and a half hours, $1370 HKD, and all I got was brittle breaking purple hair and an apology.

Upon arriving in my newly adopted city, I immediately thought of the essentials: food, water,…read moreshelter... and finding a new stylist on HK island! You see, my tresses dictate many life decisions as it's just not your typical head of hair. It's thick, coarse, frizzy but not curly, and there's a ton of it. How much exactly? Most stylists say enough for 3 heads... AT LEAST. On top of all of that, I lighten it which means it needs special care and maintenance. Oh, and did I mention I'm very picky about the shade of blonde my stylist achieves? I prefer it as cool and ashy as possible - and post color-job, I'm always aspiring to minimize the brassiness with toners and various purple shampoos and conditioners! So yeah, I realize that my total satisfaction is quite the tall order. Thanks to some insistent jet lag, a groggy search led me to booking an appointment online at 1:45am for the next day at noon thanks to a cancellation. Enter Sharon at Paul Gerrard! Sharon took one look at my hair, which I've had balyaged for over a year now. The coming-to-Jesus moment sounded a bit like this: "Darling, you're never going to be the pale, cool blonde you desire unless you stop balyaging and go back to foil highlighting. Foils are the only way to get that kind of blonde." She was right, you know. Sharon is basically this whirlwind of a color whiz with 30+ years of experience, who had me in and out of her chair within 3 hours including the blow-dry. I've come to accept that a 5-hour appointment is just the standard with my hair - nope, with a super savvy, efficient stylist it doesn't have to be that way. I'm loving the fresh take on my blonde, and though it will take several sessions to erase the brassiness out of all my hair, foil by foil, the improvement I'm already seeing can only be classified as major. I also received a perfect pedicure from another staffer while I had my hair done - the model of efficiency! Can't wait to return. And thanks Sharon, for helping me see the cool blonde light.

Coming from Los Angeles, I will admit that I am very picky about my hair and I've had some…read morefantastic hair stylists (cut and balayage/color for ~$250-280 USD max). Hong Kong prices for anything similar or for fashion colors is so outrageous that it infuriates me if my hair doesn't come out near perfect. After going to Hollywood Hair, Carte en Blanc (Japanese salon), Hair Duo (I only trust Oliver there), a couple other high-end local Hong Kong salons and still having damaged disasters, I had resorted to just waiting until I went back to the States to get my hair done. Some background on my type of hair: I have a lot of fine, Asian hair that I've had bad chunky highlights/balayaged at least 3 times by other salons in Hong Kong that really ruined the integrity of my long hair. Despite being in Asia, I find that the stylists in general don't have the most current technical knowledge of how to achieve the most current trends in the US (babylights, colormelts, balayage is finally catching on 5 years later...and please no thinning scissors on my hair!!) and how to apply it to either Asian or non-Asian hair. Finally, I couldn't stand my long, damaged hair in the humidity, so I decided to chop it. I had been resisting going to Paul Gerrard because it is very expensive, even for a cut, but I was chopping off half of it so I didn't want to risk it. I researched and asked for an appointment with Natani and was so happy I chose right! While I brought in some photos I liked, I really wanted her advice for what would look flattering for my face shape and lifestyle. Natani took her time to talk to me about what I was thinking of doing, what my routine was like, what I like or don't like about my current hair. She didn't rush to cut it, she started by cutting the length into a lob and working her way with adding texture and tiny layers little by little. By doing this, I was able to see each step take shape instead of hoping that it would all turn out ok after the blowdry. On top of the great results, Natani is a lovely person is general, and I would be very happy to go back to her again. The only reason I took off one star is the price, but if you want to be safe rather than sorry, it's probably worth it!

As such, I need to make sure my hair is cut well so that it swings into place, and requires minimum attention for it to look decent. Oh, I also forgot to mention that I cut my hair maybe twice a year, so the haircut needs to last. Enter Numayama San, imported from Japan and has been cutting my hair for more than 7 years. Numayama San has been cutting my hair since he was invited to Hong Kong by Japanese hair salon Beautrium, which is famous for their slide-cut which adds subtle layers and volume to the otherwise flat Asian hair (those who read all the Japanese fashion magazine in the millennium should know which place I'm talking about.) Fast forward to today- Numayama San is working under the Private Eye franchise and I'm still a loyal customer. His Japanese precision and Hong Kong frankness blended with Japanese diplomacy is what keeps me going back ("no, this hairstyle will not work because you are too lazy to style your hair and your face shape is not so good for it") I could go on with the amazing Numayama San (he cuts hair dry! His perms are legendarily natural!) but this wouldn't be a true review of the salon itself. But then again, who cares about what the place looks like or what services they offer when you've got the perfect hair stylist? (One caveat, though: he specializes in elegant, girlish Japanese styles. If you are looking for Miley Cyrus' edgy/skank you've come to the wrong place)

Extremely horrible experience, my hair was cut really short (around 30 cm has been cut because the hair dresser could not speak English well and pretended he understood what I wanted). My hair was origianlly touching my bottom and now, it is slightly touching my shoulder. I am extremely upset. He cannot even understand how my hair texture should be cut, and the way he cut it was totally disastrous and unsuitable. I called and went into the Salon both time speaking in Cantonese. When I sat down, the hair dresser came over and greeted me in English and I thought he could not speak any Cantonese so I continued to communicate with him in English (btw I'm bilingual) so I explained that I wanted to trim my hair to the length that would touch my waist. I had also explained because my hair is naturally wavy so I need a big session and length of layers to increase volume to make my hair looks very wavy, he seemed to understand me well and knew what I wanted. I was led to another area to get my hair washed and I spoke in Cantonese to the staff all way through and then I heard my hair dresser spoke in Cantonese to another staff so I asked him if he could speak Cantonese and why didnt he speak to me in Cantonese in the first place. However he still didn't confirm and ask me again how I wanted my hair to be cut. When I realised, he cut off 30cm of my hair. I paid and left really upset and shock.

Yelp is not a thing in HK. At all. Try to use Yelp here and you're stuck with a handful of touristy…read morerestaurants that are few and far apart. So when I first stepped out of the elevator to the 10th floor of this hidden little building off a hidden little road off Queen's Road Central, and I saw that familiar red circle emblazoned with "People Love Us On Yelp", I knew I belonged. So I've always been loyal to one hairdresser back in Canada but I decided to shake things up and go to a salon in HK that 1) Wouldn't give me an 80's hairstyle 2) Wouldn't charge me insane amounts of money. A quick Google search turned up an SCMP article going into exquisite detail about The Attic, with a cut costing about HKD $400. Perfect. Calling in to reserve, they let me know that there are tiers of hairstylists. Junior stylists are about HKD $350, with master stylists over HKD $1000. Colouring started at HKD $800 with highlights and bleaching costing extra. All colouring has a HKD $50 consultation fee. Sounds good. They booked me in for a mid-tier $480 cut. So far, so good. The woman on the other end of the phone was informative and polite. The good service continues! I'm seated right at my appointment time in a bright, large, spacious area and offered a beverage right away. My stylist, Winky, comes over and discusses everything with me. I show her a picture, she clarifies a couple things and then I'm getting half my hair chopped off. A lot of people were surprised at how much I was taking off but I was never loyal to any particular hairstyle anyway. Winky was clearly a great stylist, but also great at customer service. She explained why she cut a certain part a certain way, how to keep my hair from flipping out, and what products to use. Maintenance is almost as important as the initial cut. During the cut, she gave advice on things like getting more layers, and I was happy to give her the go-ahead. The cut turned out fantastic, exactly what I wanted. I also wanted to re-highlight my hair, but that was way over my budget so Winky suggested I just colour my roots and not to touch my existing highlights. Didn't know that was an option! A hair technician took care of the colouring part. She worked quickly and efficiently, and the colour turned out great, blending seamlessly into my original colour. Also, because I had to get colouring done, I got my hair washed twice, which is always my favourite part. If I ever win the lottery, I'd indulge in 3rd party hair washing all the time. At the Attic, it was like a mini spa treatment.The room was dark, quiet, and fragrant with light flowery aromas. The girl even gave me a head massage. This is a premium salon so service matches expectations. Everyone is extremely polite and continuously offer beverages, biscuits, and tons of magazines. I gotta say, having a hot pot of earl grey keep me company makes the time pass by much faster. Even though tipping isn't a part of HK culture, hair salons are a bit of an exception. They might not expect any, but make sure you tip the people here! They work hard to make you happy. (44/100) - 2017
