I was looking for a new hairdresser in EDI and online recommendations when I saw Aileen on Channel 4's The Great British Hairdresser in 2011. I was impressed by not only her bravery, but her work, personality, and finishing in the Top 10 Finalists. I found Aileen online, co-owns the Caldow Salon along from the Haymarket railway station, www.caldowsalon.co.uk/, previously worked at Sassoon and abroad, and decided to book an appointment. I haven't been disappointed since.
I like the chilled out atmosphere of the salon, the friendly staff, the comfy sofa in the welcome area, the choice of magazines, the complementary latte and biscuit, the back area for washing hair with reading material on the ceiling to keep from being boring, and cool video monitors in the mirrors.
Best of all, I've found a hairdresser I can comfortably leave to give me a style that suits me and my hair type. I've always left the salon feeling great. Aileen's also a great conversationalist...I enjoy our chats.
I would definitely recommend Aileen as a hairdresser, the Caldow Salon for a friendly, stress free hairdressing experience, and value for money. It's great to be able to make online appointments and receive email reminders. Excellent... read more
