I've been going to Hedonist for a few years now and really love it. Based in Botanic beside French Village Hedonist houses a really cute nail bar on the ground floor, a hair salon on the middle floor and up top is Blind Willie's barber.
The staff are all super friendly and make you feel very welcome and relaxed. The decor is a rustic mish mash of random ornaments, paintings, photographs and plants. It's really quirky and very cosy. The stylists are attentive and provide great advice on what style they feel might be best for your hair. I love the fact that they listen and aren't scissor happy like so many other places. They take time and patience and talk you through the steps they are taking. Tea, coffee and magazines are always on offer and there's always a nice atmosphere with an electic mix of music playing in the background. Hedonist really is a great spot to relax, unwind and get pampered for a few hours.
It can be pricey but with such great service and talented stylists I feel it's well worth it. They provide 25% off for students and also have their own loyalty cards which you can use to get a free cut and blowdry. I'd definitely recommend booking an appointment with Hugo, he's very talented, full of knowledge and a genuinely friendly guy. read more
