Got an appointment a couple of days out for a Saturday morning.
Was stressing in those couple of days that I was making a mistake getting a colour done in a training school, but was pleasantly surprised when the girl doing my colour had finished her qualifications. She was really friendly, did a great job with my colour (I'm a natural brunette currently sporting a copper red that has proven hard to match in the past), and perfected the blow dry I wanted (I was pretty specific with how I wanted it styled for a change).
For a regrowth tint, plus refresh of my entire long hair (below shoulder blades) & a blow dry, came to $95 and I was in there for just under 3 hours. For a city location a couple of doors from home, I'm happy and would go back. I'm not sure how creative they'd be, so if I wanted something different I'd probably pay the $$ for a regular salon, and can't comment on cutting!
Fun Fact - they're a full beauty and hair training salon, so have nails, massage etc too read more
