The best hairdressers in Manchester, I'm wary about sharing this place with you as I don't want to…read moreshoot myself in the foot and never be able to get an appointment, but then I feel I'm doing my bit for woman-kind by sharing my knowledge of this place. Whatever your hair type, thy can tame it, colour it, add extensions, cut and style it exactly how you like and is a great place to get your hairdo for a special occasion or a cut that's going to look just as good once you've washed and blown it yourself. Worth the short journey out of the city centre and away from the generic one-cut-will be made to suit all places. The girls here are miracle workers and lovely too.

I took my daughter here to have her hair put up for her prom and the staff were fantastic, she…read morewasnt too sure what she wanted so they did a couple of quick styles for her and she came home with one that she really liked and they didnt charge so she booked and went back and they styled it in the chosen stye and it was absolutely beautiful. The shop is bright and spotless clean and all the hair stylists are very pleasant and helpful, giving you drinks while you wait. I have since been back with my 2 girls to have a cut and blow and they were so happy with the stlye and the cut all their friends want to book as well, I think I should get commision for recommending them to everyone ha ha

My stylist is friendly and professional, and always listens to what you're looking for. The salon is relaxing, with good service- drinks, magazines. Price is really reasonable, at about £30 for a cut and blow dry which is great for a reliable stylist. If you want to go somewhere that feels like home, without risking an 'I cut my own hair' disaster, this is a great place. Unlike busy centre of city salons, you can feel really relaxed here, without the sense of being one on a conveyor belt of customers.

Friendly stuff, but will NEVER EVER go there. I took a photo of highlights that I wanted done and…read moreasked Amanda(the colourist) if she can do it. She said yes. I spent 5+ hours there and ended up with a horrible bleach job. The highlights were supposed to get lighter gradually. She just bleached bottom half(from chin down) of ALL of my hair. It looked as if I was wearing a coat with the fur of the lightest golden blonde on my collar. Even though I mentioned 100 times that I wanted ash brown hair and ash blonde highlights, I ended up with very dark reddish brown on top and golden-orangey from chin down and that was just before Christmas. I couldn't get another appointment anywhere else and had to colour my hair twice. Now my hair is dead and I have to cut it:((( Robert did a good job with the cut on that same day. I paid GBP 120 for the highlights and the cut. Bottom line-it is pricey and not worth the money AT ALL!

Oh my word. My experience here was really pretty bad. On entering the salon I had to wait about 20…read moreminutes, during which, I was very tempted to run away. I felt that the whole salon just seemed really badly run and disorganised. The man who cut my hair constantly walked off throughout the cut, frequently distracted by phone calls to his mobile, and as far as I could tell, the majority of the staff spent their whole time chatting to one another and not thinking about anything else. Now, had I got a great cut, this may have been less of a blow. However what I got instead was a massive fringe, which I certainly had not asked for. I found the whole appointment to be rather stressful, and went away quite shocked. Thankfully I was restored back to normal by the comfort of a flapjack from Refresh on the way home.

Ashley Brown in Didsbury- Very inexperienced hairdressers. Very poor service as the main guy could…read morenot even style or cut hair accurately. He confirmed during my inaccurate haircut that he does not know how to style hair. It seemed very evidently that he had no qualifications in hairdressing or any training. Initially, I informed the senior stylist and owner that I wanted my hair blow-dried as bouncy curls/waves at the end. As he finished cutting my hair, he began to blow-dry it Then it occurred to me that he was doing it pin straight and not what I had asked - bouncy curls. As I questioned him to why my hair is not being finished in the style I asked for he replied, 'I do not know how to blow-dry bouncy curls, and I will try the curling machine, I haven't used it before but my colleague has.' I could not grasp how a senior stylist charging £51 in Didsbury, Manchester did not know how to blow-dry and style, something I could have done myself at home. Ged, the senior stylist then tried to encourage his colleague, Natalie, who was already dealing with another client, to try and curl my hair using an electric curler as he did not obviously know how. Natalie (the other hairdresser) refused as she already had a client. They both then began to argue and fight, as she demanded that Ged needed to know how to use the curling machine. The argument began to become aggressive where the tension was becoming uncomfortable. I have never encountered such atrocity. As Natalie finished with her client, she stated she would not be available to do the curls on my hair. I had to restate that I wanted my hair blow-dried as bouncy curls. Frustratingly, the both carried on arguing, and then he slapped his colleague. What on earth...? Although Ashley Brown may charge high prices, they are not an established salon with any creative skills and abilities. The senior stylist, Ged, had a fight in the salon with his colleague, Natalie. Lastly, they demanded that I paid £51 for half a job. Ashley Brown - hairdresser? Ashley Brown -fraudsters.

Rude salon owner. Unprofessional behaviour…read more The salon owner is selectively polite only to customers who they come from the same country as her (Persian). To the rest customers she charges inflated prices, which they are Not the prices that she states on her price list. At the same time while she blows dries customers hair, she leaves the customer's blow dry half way through UNDONE, in order to blow dry another's woman hair who it happened to be from the same country as her. The salon owner; Simin was insisted to use hair straighteners while my hair was still wet. As a result she burnt my hair and she caused them to be frizzy and in an awful condition. She always run out of products to apply on hair. And she Never provides a receipt. She insists for cash on hand, that she charges different prices each time. Avoid this hair salon if you do not want your hair to end up with a bad hair cut and with burnt hair.

VERY DISAPPOINTING She suggested our staff are graduate and trying to give them a chance! OK, you shouldn't charge full price and tell your customers! Very POOR Customer service, waist of money. Not recommending, might have good stylist but poor management, never go back again.

Both times I've made use of the super cheap standby appointment slots they offer (mainly because I'm super disorganised) which has been a real bargain at £20 for a cut and blow dry and still offers a fantastic service. The staff are all very young and cool but pretty friendly and you get offered a drink on arrival - I had a tea but the lovely girl who washed my hair said to shout if I wanted a glass of wine later too! The girl who cut my hair was great at offering advice at what would suit me best and the products to use but didn't give me the hard sell at the end which I hate. Will definitely return!

Immediately upon entry I was offered something to drink and we got right down to business. No waiting involved, which was a nice change from what I'm used to. The entire staff and owner were incredibly courteous and friendly, and as a Southerner(US), friendliness and courtesy are high on my list of valuable qualities to have. The stylist gave me exactly what I wanted done to my hair and then some! It was beautifully styled and at the end I was given some sample product to try. Come on, who doesn't like a good free sample? Perfection.

Once upon a time not so long ago I had a work meeting with the regional marketing manager of Vidal…read moreSassoon. The meeting lasted about half an hour and she talked in detail about the science of hair and the "Hair academies" from which a conveyor belt of future Sassoon hair stylists graduated. I suppose in some way l thought credit was due to some random bloke 60 years ago who turned the very simple task of cutting excess hair into some kind of pseudo science. I also appreciate the fact there are variations in facial size/shape and your lid is no different and thus certain styles suit some people more than others. But there was a nagging sense that they'd gone a tad too far with it? The salons felt empty of feeling at the expense of "chique" interior design, there was a coldness, a seriousness about it all. I remember the first time I went to Tony's and told him this particular story. His retort was too expletive ridden for me to repeat here but the narrative carried some weight not to mention incredible comedy value. That particular random visit turned into a bit of a defining moment in my hair grooming life story and I've returned monthly ever since. The barbershop really is one of kind with memorabilia all over the walls relating to Tony's passions, namely cars, football and old school comic strips. It's a film maker's dream and I've suggested it as a location to few friends. There is something deeply addictive about Italian culture and its profound humanism. Tony wears his heart on his sleeve and boy is it a good'un. His stories are both legendary and hilarious. He treats each customer as if they're family but I'd like to think I'm one of his favourites. The cappuccino he makes is sublime and he's a very good listener and hugger. He might not be a graduate from some high end hairstyling academy, but getting your hair cut from Tony's will leave you feeling a million bucks. I can't recommend it highly enough.
