    Anne Veck is the best hair salon in Oxford…read more Reasons why? Well for starters, I literally laughed the whole way through my 3 hour appointment. Maria is hilarious and full of energy--with a little bit of Portuguese sass thrown in there too. She yelled at me like a mother hen telling me not to move, or touch or anything... I genuinely LOVED every moment of it. I was in for a whole head of blonde highlights. White not gold. Maria picked up on this immediately and called me Miss California the entire appointment through. "I know how you California girls like your blonde highlights, I watch Melrose Place." Amazing, hilarious and oh so very true. The end result was gorgeous. The perfect "white" blonde, blended expertly and done as close to the scalp as one can get. Honestly, it's the best colour job I've had in quite some time. I'm so happy with it. Need more good news? The prices are reasonable. Not super cheap not super expensive-- perfect middle of the road prices. They offer student discounts on the weekdays 20%! Also, I was served a delicious glass of white wine and treated to a damn good head massage. I've spent almost a year here in Oxford trying to find a place like Anne Veck... wished I had found them a lot sooner! Highly recommended!

    Second fully satisfactory experience @ Anne Veck. My first stylist, Emmanuel from Toulouse, made…read moreenough witty observations and comments to make my 2.5 hour keratin treatment fly by. Result was precisely the smooth 'do I desired, and I committed to come back next time I was in Oxford. Sadly, E has moved on, but not only was I able to book an appt next day on a tight schedule, my new hairdresser[Lucy, also French!] remembered what Emmanuel had done and seemed very comfortable throughout. Enjoy the tea tray served up through your styling, lean back into the massage chair during hair washing and emerge looking chic.

    THIS IS AN UNSAFE BEAUTY SALOON. On Monday 6.8.2018 at 13:16 I had my eye lash extension done with…read moreMarjan at Strand Nails in Oxford for £45. Just a few hour after this procedure around 18:00 I had a very serious allergic reaction, which resulted in my eyes swelling, redness, extreme pain, and blindness. Due to the extreme pain and inability to open my eyes, 111 send me to the local hospital in Bicester, where the doctor confirmed that the procedure that was done by Strand Nails in Oxford was done in a careless negligeant manner, which resulted in glue getting into my eyes, and causing an allergic reaction. The doctor requested me to go back to Strand Nails asap to have the eye lash extension removed, and to make a complaint, which I did on the 7.8.2018. However, I requested my money back, but this request was denied.

    Terrible experience at Strand. They were very rough with the pedicure, scraping my feet when they…read morewere dry with an abrasive scrub, and cutting my skin around the cuticles. Multiple times I got burned by the electric filer and my toe started to bleed. The overall experience was painful and far from a relaxing pedicure experience. In the end I was made to pay the full 45 pounds (even though my feet were bleeding and painful). The pedicure was not worth the price at all and the workers/owner were rude and aggressive. Really unhappy with Strand and will not return and would not recommend!
