Despite my reservations, I decided to give this place a go; mainly because I'm a skint student and there were some good offers on colours advertised in the newspaper. My first visit was ok, if a little quiet (neither of the hairdressers spoke during the entire appointment- to me or each other) but I was happy enough and returned twice more. NEVER AGAIN.
After my third appointment I noticed that my hair was much lighter than I had wished- a white blonde rather than more natural highlights and I was developing bands of different colours throughout my hair; I also had a sort of striped effect around my roots which I did not think was intentional! A colour specialist who has since attempted to remedy the faults of Glam n Glitter, informed me this is called "bleeding" and can occassionally occur near the neck as the weight of the hair forces the foils underneath to move. However, as the evidence of "bleeding" was throughout my hair it was more likely too much dye had been used and the foils carelessly applied; her carelessness is understandable given her evident distraction at the time; she seemed far more interested in her friend, and I believe colleauge, who was buying hair extensions nearby and fitting them in the salon (which took a while and my hair dresser's assistance) before discussing ordering and buying lunch for the pair of them. I felt rather uncomfortable on this occassion as again no conversation was made and I was made to felt like an intruder on their social life!
The colour specialist also pointed out that Glam n Glitter had bleached my roots too excessively and caused the banding of colours in my hair.
It will take a while to grow the damage out and/or a lot of money to correct it using low lights and toners; I am not happy and would definitely not recommend this salon. read more
