It's definitely a proper salon rather than a budget haircut place, with all the service that you'd expect from a salon.

Just a few hour after this procedure around 18:00 I had a very serious allergic reaction, which resulted in my eyes swelling, redness, extreme pain, and blindness. Due to the extreme pain and inability to open my eyes, 111 send me to the local hospital in Bicester, where the doctor confirmed that the procedure that was done by Strand Nails in Oxford was done in a careless negligeant manner, which resulted in glue getting into my eyes, and causing an allergic reaction. The doctor requested me to go back to Strand Nails asap to have the eye lash extension removed, and to make a complaint, which I did on the 7.8.2018. However, I requested my money back, but this request was denied.

Terrible experience at Strand. They were very rough with the pedicure, scraping my feet when they…read morewere dry with an abrasive scrub, and cutting my skin around the cuticles. Multiple times I got burned by the electric filer and my toe started to bleed. The overall experience was painful and far from a relaxing pedicure experience. In the end I was made to pay the full 45 pounds (even though my feet were bleeding and painful). The pedicure was not worth the price at all and the workers/owner were rude and aggressive. Really unhappy with Strand and will not return and would not recommend!

From what I've seen and experienced, if you have short- to medium-length hair, you can count on a nice cut from these guys. What more do you want? I've seen them do some nice work with both clippers and scissors. They do shaves, though I haven't had one there. I've never seen them cut a woman's hair or cut long hair, so I can't comment on that either. The rating falls short of 5 stars because I'd like to see them spray the clippers with barbicide more frequently. That's not such a small thing.

I asked what he thought would be good and he gave his opinion and knew what he was doing. He is closer to a hair stylist than a typical barber. I had my hair cut and beard trimmed. I especially liked the work he did on my mustache, it looks very fiiiine now. £8 for the hair (student discount) and £4 for the beard trim. Excellent value, the previous barber I used would have been £12 without any work on the beard. Best haircut I have had in Oxford.
