Yesterday I had my first ever appointment in The Hair Box in Dun Laoghaire, upon the recommendation of a work colleague. I booked for a wash, cut and blow-dry, choosing Dan as my stylist.
The man who washed my hair was so lovely, a really down to earth chap (I didn't get his name!). Dan then discussed what I wanted from my haircut and then made suggestions as to what he thought might work better. I asked for a bare trim (I am growing out my hair) and for I think the first time ever, a stylist actually listened to what I wanted and didn't snip away inches in a flash! He put a beautiful shape and finish to my hair, then the gorgeous and sweet Shelly blow-dried it. The wash, cut and blow-dry altogether cost €48 - not cheap but not too expensive either, and I don't think anyone minds paying a fair price for an amazing service.
Noteworthy; all of the staff are extremely gentle when dealing with one's hair. Too often I have had my scalp hurting me after leaving a hair salon, but Dan informed me that the ethos in the salon is to be very very gentle with the hair at all times, and I have to say it is refreshing! Also, there was no product pushing.
I think I have finally found my perfect hair stylist and will definitely be returning! read more
