In what may have been a confused and misguided attempt to either recapture youth, try something…read morecrazy, or experiment with a student hipster look, I decided to stop getting my hair cut. I lasted over half a year before I couldn't take it any more and my better senses took over, despite resorting to hair bands, combing with hair dryers and stronger and stronger hair products. Anyway the point of this anecdote is that it left Ying Chan at Bamboo with little to work with, having grown out my hair for so long, she couldn't infer what it ought to look like short based on the way it had grown out - she had no idea what my last hair cut looked like. She worked off a grainy photo on my blackberry but then proceeded to produce a lovely short hair cut that looks good without product, a significant feat. That on top of the 20% discount (25 pounds all in with a nice tip) and I'm leaving very satisfied. I will be back a few more times before the school year is up.

Ying was my stylist and she was very nice. My hair is a bit difficult in that it's not the classic straight asian hair. The haircut was decent but not amazing. Still thinking if I should go back.

The first time I decided to get my hair cut whilst in Cambridge it was at Marc Jason. My choice was…read morebased on two reasons, one being that they offer a student discount and the second being that it is close to my University. Marc Jason is a decent hairdressers but it wasn't the type of hairdressers to become my hairdressers. Without the 25% student discount the prices would have seemed very high for such a basic cut and blow dry so I decided to leave this one alone and look elsewhere.

The experience was lovely with a refreshments in china tea set with fruit and biscuits, they treated their clients exceptionally well and was cared for consistently (not rushed out the door either)! After going through all my colour choices and different options I could have, I felt reassured I was in safe hands and was always asked questions and given advice before going ahead with anything, although the phone kept ringing often, I did have to wait a while before the lady ressumed to my hair, I can't complain! My afternoon was pleasant both for the experience and result! Before I left I bought some Moroccan oil shampoo and treatment oil which is out of this world and definitely will be returning for some more! 5 stars, no question about it!

I do not like to go to hairdressers at all normally, for the fact that regardless of how much…read moreinformation I give the hairdresser it normally is cut too short to what I want, but it didn't happen in this salon. Before the cut, my hair was a semi straight hair that was up to my lower back with no style to it as I have just been growing it out. From the time I made my appointment to leaving the door, it was approximately an hour, where my hair was; washed, my scalp massaged nicely with shampoo, hair cut and blow dried. The hairdresser asked me what hair cut I wanted, before she sat me down and if I had a photo, which I did have. My main idea was to get my hair to look healthy again, and I think that goal was reached. Overall the service was great and the hairdresser made me feel comfortable throughout the whole appointment. At the end, my hair length was half way down my back, and it now has layers but with no fringe (which is what I wanted), it feels light and looks healthier already.

I was also impressed that I found "odd" colours in there -bright green, yellow. Then I also got artificial hair extentions - I know, it is not a real stuff, but very good price and it is good for image changing or hiding natural hair if its a bit difficult to control or simply needs a haircut.

I get there and wait an hour while nothing to do with my hair happens, I sip on a beverage and have my coat removed from me. The cut and style I can not falt and inch off the bottom, and straight. The colour, and service is abysmal. I'm looking up hairdressers now to get it fixed, four appointments there and every time I'm assured that next time the colour will be fixed, £400 down the hole and days of my life I will never get back. Ordinarily I'm seen and abandoned to other clients, but never before colour or bleach has been applied. The colour I have is patchy due to the lack of foils, care, knowledge or attention. Tbh I think they should be ashamed. They talk a good talk, but aren't capable to walk the walk. Avoid.

I called for an appointment and was told the cost would be £38!!!! When I went to pay the stylist charged me £32! Rush seem to want to get as much money as possible from their clients. They suggest that stylists are style directors - but these people are with the salon a very short amount of time and then they leave or are let go! I don't mind paying a fair price for the service and styling. But rush are so cynical with how they deal with customers. Scruffs is an excellent salon and charge £35 with a conditioning treatment included. There is no way that rush should be charging more than that
