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!

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.

End the day I was also paying for the service and experience but hey ho. Another negative is they only offer cuts for certain hair types, I had asked for my daughter who has tight coils and they couldn't offer a service or suggestions. In this day and age would think they would offer a service for more diverse population. Sadly not!

When you have a bad haircut, life is a daily struggle. You have to wake up every day and fool with…read moreit until it looks tolerable to you. When you have a good haircut, it's one less thing. The moral here is: a good haircut is always worth it, not only because it makes you look better, but because it can take 15 - 20 minutes off your morning routine. And that is just worth it. 15 - 20 minutes of extra sleep? Sign me up. I hadn't had my hair cut since coming to the UK from the States for grad school, so when I realized I could no longer just ignore my hair situation, I yelped and found Scruff's. Good reviews, I thought, and a handy pricing system: slightly less experienced (but still very well trained) stylists will wash, condition, massage, cut and blowdry your hair for a very reasonable 30 pounds. This pricing level is the 'graduate' level because the stylists are more recent graduates of Scruff's training program, though it subtly appeals to Cambridge's glut of graduates who are a bit short on funds, too. Not knowing anybody at the salon, I asked for first available, and got Abi. A quick rundown: before the scissors came out, she sat down and talked with me about what I wanted. She was always extremely helpful and clear about options, from the shampoo and conditioner she used to the cut itself to the blowdried style. She was very, very communicative and friendly. In fact, the whole staff was quite friendly. You won't be dehydrated at Scruff's, nor will you deal with the unwieldy burden of your coat and scarf. Scruff's is nicely decorated (I was so happy not to be in the weird yogic decor idiom so often seen in US salons) and extremely clean. Even at 10 am on a Thursday, the place was hopping, and most of the clientele seemed to have a very good, friendly rapport with the stylists. I'm guessing they have a lot of regulars, which is always a good sign. On that note: call and schedule an appointment; walk-ins are probably a no-go. It's a paradox in life that there's often less to say about excellence than failure, so I'll be brief: Abi gave me a very, very good haircut. I've had my hair some 23 years, and some cuts have been good, and others have been bad. This one was among the very best. Do give Scruff's a try. I'll be heading back.

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.

Well, when I first went here I didn't realise that it was going to cost so much! I went in thinking I had seen £24 for long hair cut and wash but actually that was only for a wash and dry, a hair cut with that adds £20! I was pretty sour after spending that much! They did a good job and were very friendly, offering me refreshments but man oh man was I in shock for a day or so. I won't go back because it is overpriced but it was good for what it was.

Muir and Kerr, go the extra mile to make you feel like the most important person for the duration of your visit, from the wonderful head massage whilst you're having your hair washed, to the attention to every detail during your haircut. I have visited both salons now for 5 years and have always walked out the door with a smile on my face and a bounce to my step. My hair could be described as 'demanding' but no matter what I ask for or what colour I want to change to, the result is always wonderful, a gem of a salon which I want to keep to myself but it is too good for that.
