I've been doing the Brazilian Blowout for about six years now between three salon locations and it…read moreworks really well for me. I booked an appt for a Brazilian Blowout with the Joshua Altback salon and while I'm pleased with the results, I won't be going back. Pros: --This is a nice salon in a really nice area. --They have Wi-Fi. --Both Andreea and Joshua are very nice and pay good attention to details. --Andreea gave me a towel to cover my face for when she was blow drying my hair and the chemicals were going everywhere. I have not had another salon do that before - it's a nice touch. Cons: --Andreea did my Brazilian Blowout treatment but then I was passed off to Joshua for my cut. I wasn't told in advance this would happen and frankly I would have preferred someone other than Joshua for my trim + touch up of layers. Paying 50 GBP for a trim and touch up is reaaaaaally expensive. I would have preferred someone that wasn't the owner or a senior stylist. --Joshua's daughter. She's cute and all but on this particular day she was sick and not only coughing everywhere but also passing very smelly gas. Disgusting; please don't bring your sick child to a salon and let them run around. --Cash vs. credit card. When I called to make the appt I was told by the woman on the phone that they prefer cash. It took a few rounds of back and forth conversation but she did confirm that while they do accept credit card, they prefer cash. In person upon paying for the treatment and cut I was told that the 20% new client discount was for the treatment only and not the cut. OK, not a big deal. However I was also told that if I paid with a credit card I would not receive the 20% discount. ....Are you kidding? I had to leave the salon and go to an ATM around the corner to get cash. This was NOT explained to me on the phone when I was booking the appt. --Time. Like I said; I've been doing the Brazilian Blowout for about six years between three salon locations; two in the US and one other salon in London. While the attention to detail was good, my appt took 3.5 hours with two people. I've never had another Brazilian Blowout treatment + cut that needed two people or took more than 2.5 hours to complete. It's a long time to sit.

Joshua Altback is hands down, the best in London for Brazlian Blow Dry…read more It's one of the most expensive places, but it is the best so the price is understandable. I've never had my hair as silky, smooth, shiny and beautiful as it was when I walked out of Joshua Altback's. I got the blow dry and a hair cut,. Unfortunately, I did the haircut AFTER the blow dry so it was a bit difficult for the stylist to cut my hair because it was just soooo smooth and luscious! :D I didn't care, I was too busy being happy with my new swishy, shiny hair. The person trimming my hair was absolutely meticulous. It was the first time I've ever received a haircut whilst standing! He even went as far as telling me to come back after I've washed my hair so that he could do an even neater job when its wet - I didn't think that wouldve been possible as it was already perfection. I've done the blow dry at a few other salons in London but none of them has ever been as good. The staff are all polite and professional. The person who did my treatment was an absolute sweetheart who never made me feel as though it was rushed. I even met Mr Altback himself and he said I had pretty hair! (It's true what they say, flattery gets you everywhere...)

I looked around at several places in North London when I wanted to get my hair cut. This place was…read morethe most reasonable, where an appointment with a senior stylist was 39 pounds (seriously). I had a wonderful Dutch man who gave me very good advice, and did a fantastic job with the fringe and layering. I was a little surprised with the quality of the cut, even for a senior stylist, at such a reasonable rate. He is about to open his own salon now in Newington Green, using only organic products. This package at 171 also included a wash and a finish, which lasted for about two days. I would recommend going here for a great style and cut before heading out to a party.

I had the…read more"procedure" done over a month ago so I don't really remember how much it costs but I remember thinking it was reasonable. If you are a lady you know that lady waxing is usually a very uncomfortable process. Uncomfortable physically and because your lady bits are on a table being examined by a stranger. But Charlie at 171 was extremely comforting and was very professional, and was understanding whenever i would need a "time out" for a breather. The whole process was the FASTEST i have ever had, and the effect lasted for a long time. I would def recommend Charlie if you are considering a waxing(for anything).

This is a story of new beginnings & inner strength…read more Back in the day when I was married, I was also broke. And then one day my husband left me. I was distraught. I was a pile of mush. I had long hair because he liked it that way. Fortunately I have a mom that knows how to take care of her daughter. The day after he left me, I had a long talk with my mom about what a cock he was and how I was in a mess because I was so broke. Me: (wailing) "I'm sick! Eric is an ass! Eff him! And I have long hair! It looks so awful!" (more wails) Mom: "Sweetheart, I'm so sorry. Go out & get your hair cut" Me: "But I am so broke, I can barely pay for food!" Mom: "I'll send you $500" Me: *Sniff* "...K..." Two days later, thanks to my wonderful mother & Western Union, I had enough money to keep me afloat and then some while I earned my first pay check. And the first thing I did, after making sure I had food to eat and chucking my wedding ring back at the bastard I moved to London for (that was dumb, I could have pawned it), was get my hair cut. Since I wasn't picky who I saw, I was able to get an appointment that weekend. When I came in, the hairdresser was very sweet & knowledgeable & I bet he loved me even more when I told him I didn't care what he did, just make it short & easy. Not only did he do that but he made it look fabulous. Granted shredding a symbol of 2 years with a man that you suddenly and utterly despise can help with that but he set me free and added a little sass while he was at it. My mother's money also funded my ticket to the company Christmas party where I received my first kiss no less than a week after my husband left me pissed & blurry eyed. From that moment on I realized that everything would be okay. I was clearly desirable, I had a good job, a well located apartment... it was an expensive city but I could totally do it if I wanted to. I could be the single girl in the city! I didn't get to be that before because I was with the bastard! I ended up staying for 5 more months. There was a lot of crying but a lot of growing up. And I thank my mom, that guy at the Christmas party and Bibas for that chance to realize how strong a person I really am.

Really disappointing…read more I decided to use a voucher from wahanda because I'm looking for a new salon. The voucher I had was for a cut with one of the owners. I booked a week in advanced and when I arrived the owner said he decided that he wasn't going to cut my hair because one of his regulars wanted that spot....sorry, I thought we all made appts the same way. So, he sent me to one of his junior stylists. To be fair the stylist was nice, but unfortunately the average cut he gave me only lasted about a week before it turned to a hot mess. Think sort of 80s mullet meets a bob. Not a great look. Really disappointed to be first shuffled off so quickly and then get a haircut that I could have gotten in a strip mall. Not worth the trip.

Didn't know where to go to get this 3a/b frizzy/curly hair done…read more Read the reviews online and 3Thirty kept coming up, and they were close to where I live, so I decided to take the plunge and give it a try. Tiff did my hair, and I am very happy with the results. My motto for curly hair is, "do no harm" because I have had some really bad salon experiences... until I met my girl Melissa in Pasadena.. but I don't have access to her anymore. I knew once Tiff started cutting my hair that she knew what she was doing. Curly hair cutting is all about the shape and releasing the curls. Once it gets too long, the curls start getting weighed down, so a skilled haircutter knows how to keep the length but release some of the hair's weight. i also had a touchup on my color. I'm very happy with the results. I think I found my salon in London.

The owner has not had the salon for long and she often is in the salons herself giving treatments. I first noticed the salon when it arrived because of its strange 3-D pebble flooring ( spa detailing I suppose!) and its huge snowball chandelier in the reception -very strange on Bethnal Green Road!! However I never thought to venture in. It was only recently that I was in need of a little TLC and this place was recommended. I fast found that many of my friends were choosing here and were in fact regular customers. They offer full nail bar which is more pricey -and have a nice selection of colours also to buy -However selling only very high end and very, very expensive varnishs . If its a waxing or tinting treatments you are looking for ,though this place is very affordable. Considering this is "looking good" pampering rather than "health" pampering - leg waxings cost as little as £14.00 and eyebrow tintings £6.00 -I got so carried away that I actually even did my eyelashes which frankly was a bit pointless since you need some decent lashes to begin with -- They offer full body massages and scrubs which is justifiably "health pampering " however at prices of in the region of £95.00 - my wallet at present does not include "wealth pampering " - for now at least ......

However, the girls here are fantastic and the prices are so cheap you won't believe you are still in London! I paid £10 for a hair cut- my hair was really really long and the girl was so patient and kept adjusting it how I asked her. I also had a Brazilian wax there (there is a beauty section at the back) and again, the girl who looked after me was fantastic, it was (almost) painless- she has a very firm grip and chats to you whilst she goes along to keep you distracted from the pain. That also cost £10 and she did a good a job as (if not better) than many expensive places I have been to in the past where I have been charged around £40 for the same treatment!!

I was skeptical of the place before I went as it isn't much to look at from the outside and the prices are disturbingly low, but I am now a convert and highly recommend that everyone go.
