The service is great, with an endless supply of tea/coffee and friendly staff and excellent hairdressing. If you want a colour it can take a while but not really much longer than any other salon.

Avant Garde on Queens Drive is both a men's (on the first floor) and ladies hair and beauty salon…read more Prices are fairly average. I am not particularly adventurous, I don't get colour or perms, but a cut and finish generally does me nicely. If you go for a graduate stylist it will cost you £17.50 which I just can't complain about. The final finish is pretty good. If you want to go for the top of the top (the director) you will have to pay £31-34 which I still cannot complain about. I have paid £45 before, at other hairdressers. I haven't had any treatments at Avant Garde but there is a good selection - hydro-active mineral salt scrub, enzymatic sea mud wrap, body therapy hydro pack, body massages (full body or back, neck and shoulders), hair removal, tanning, eyes, hands and feet, nail enhancement and ear piercing. I think the scrub and mud wrap sound pretty good!

Voodou apparently prides itself as a colouring centre - maybe if they gave the staff colouring-in…read morebooks they'd be right. I booked myself in here many years ago with the director, assuming that I'd get a professional hairdo and it would be worth the money. How wrong could I be. I turned up in the morning to find my intended stylist hungover and feeling like death, threatening to vomit over my head at any moment. She got through the colour consultation ok, although I had a vague feeling she wasn't really paying attention, and, like you sometimes sense with hairdressers, they've got their own ideas about what they're going to do to your hair. As the foils were prepared and the dye mixed, her friend came in and was promptly sat next to me so they could relive every moment of the previous night and discuss in minute detail the most insignificant things. It was at this point I felt like asking her to hand over the dye and let me do it myself. However, I persevered, and after a while my colour was on and I was left in relative peace with some magazines. After my hair was washed, I started to wonder what colour she'd actually dyed it. I said nothing though, and watched as this green she-devil hacked chunks of my hair off, so the bits that actually looked highlighted were now no more than tufts. Once she had blowdried it, she staggered back, looking impressed with herself, and explaining how the three different colours really stood out in the light. I could only gaze in disbelief. She had dyed it exactly the same colour as my own hair. I'm never good in these situations and thought maybe I was a bit biased because she was making such a show of feeling rough. I ended up leaving the shop with a bag of products and a bill of around £100 (bearing in mind this was more than 6 years ago). The first friend I saw didn't notice the colour was different, neither did the 5th, 10th or my mum. So I ended up going back and asking for it to be re-done. Originally I went to the Bold Street shop as I explained I didn't want that woman near my head again, but the camp guy behind the desk told me it was a lovely colour (I know - I was born with it!) and if I had a problem I had to go back to her. When I plucked up the courage to face her again, she agreed to re-do my colour for me, and then proceeded to dye the sample strip (your fringe, crown and parting) blonde. I didn't go back again.

I have had the complete opposite experience here compared to the previous reviewer. I have been…read moregoing to Voodou for years and years and never had a bad experience. As I've been going here for year the staff recognise me and are very friendly when I enter the salon. The stylist I use will often shout hello and tell me she wont be long. When she's ready she takes my coat and any shopping bags I inevitably have with me, and takes me over to a chair. She then takes time to discuss what I want, look at photos and make suggestions if necessary. The trainee washes your hair for the stylist. This is usually really nice as they give you a head massage and use shampoos and conditioners which smell divine. They then take you back to the chair and offer you a selection of drinks - lager, red wine, white wine, tea, coffee, cappuccino, hot chocolate and mineral water. They also bring over some magazines if you want them. The stylist always takes her time to ensure she knows what I want and then carries out the cut expertly whilst chatting to me. She has often rescued my hair when I've bleached the life out of it, which has happened several times. Voodou offer student discount, they also have a loyalty card scheme which entitles you to a free haircut once you have collected 8 stamps on your card. They offer half price colouring on Thursday and Saturday which can work out really cheap. They also offer a £10 voucher for all new customers, or those who have not visited Voodou in the past 12 months. There is also a corporate discount card scheme which entitle you to 20% off. They offer a huge range of prices for cuts, different types of colouring, hair up styles, perms, relaxing treatments and conditioning treatments. You can choose a level of stylist to match your budget. This is an excellent salon. I never fail to come out here fully satisfied, cheered up and happy.

I have always found that Kays is an excellent place simply because of the personal touch that they add to your experience and the fact that the staff are quite frankly second to none. After getting a tattoo I was unsure of the best treatment in terms of cream but Kays helped me out straight away and they really did behave in the most professional of fashions which was great to see. This place certainly beats Lloyd's pharmacy on London road which is often full of drunks and is very unpleasant indeed.

Instead, the stylist nearly ripped half my hair out attempting to comb it (god knows how - I have generally lank, straight hair) and then announced that I must've done all sorts to my head as my hair was like wire wool. At this point, my patience was thin, and then I asked her what she was planning to do to condition and treat my hair before she trimmed it. She told me she would just slap some conditioner on and leave it to soak in. Bloody marvellous, I thought. And that is literally what she did. I got a head full of sloppy conditioner, and then they put me under a heater. Now, I may not be a hair expert, but I'm pretty sure drying conditioner onto your head isn't the best way to go about things. After leaving me baking for about half an hour whilst she gabbed to a colleague, my attentive stylist came back, and after rinsing out the caked-on conditioner, proceeded to cut half my hair off, claiming it was 'beyond rescuing'. I can't remember how much they charged me for this delightful experience, and it was a good few years ago now, but the salon is still going strong so I must only be one of a few disgruntled customers!

Fortunately, my experiences in Voodou for Men have been much better.

In my experience the haircuts I've received have been a bit hit-and-miss but I get the feeling that if you go in with a definite idea the stylists would be more than happy to meet your requests. Some stylists can be quite expensive but the loyalty card they offer represents good value for money (if you can afford 7 haircuts first) and they also offer student discount.
