its usually open when others are not. its a lot cheaper.
those are the only merits of this place. staff (all foreign, nothing wrong with that but meant poor english and selective understanding).
having been led to a chair full of hair, i tried to explain the type of trim i wanted, (short on the sides, with distinction of length between the top). this meant that i had one of 2 options apparently.
1. she put her hands on the side of my head to suggest a british hedgerow/mohawk look or
2. she mimed an afro circle of hair. 'is blended'
'its one or the other. you say u not like this one, or this one, so what you want?'
sensing difficulties, i suggested a general all over trim.
she started with clippers, on the sides and back massaging deep the machine into my head as the cable whiped my nose back and forth.
'is ok?'
'er yes,' i replied, ' i think thats short enough, what do you think?'
'i dont know, its your hair'.
i again suggested we go for a simple all over trim and apologised for not being clearer.
i sat there for 10mins as she deftly changed one clipper bit for another before she appeared to finish asking do i want matt or gel something or other. i asked for wax, so she handed me a tub of it. not confident of my own abilities, i asked her to apply it, to which she replied,
'but i dont know how you style it. ok, i put in your hands and you do it.'
i still asked her to do it, so she put a massive lump in her hands and dragged it through my hair.
'ok, now you can style it as you like'.
i sorted of twiddled the front a bit and said thanks.
i asked her name. sarah.
