I have had haircuts here in the past and have not been disappointed but I would not recommend…read morecoming here to have hair coloured. My hair was coloured at the sink a second time using a different dye without my consent. I overheard a member of staff whisper to my hair colourist that she ought to add some brown dye in with the treatment and this advice was followed without informing me first. When I asked if another colour had been put into my hair I was told that it was just a treatment to prolong the colour. I know for a fact that this was not the case. The first colour (dark blonde) had already been rinsed away entirely and the new "treatment" was a much darker and warmer brown and had the same odour as the dye previously used. I assume my allergy test covered me for both. I was also lied to about using permanent dye on my natural hair. Another salon have confirmed that a brown permanent hair colour was added. I emphatically stated that I did not want my nine months of natural hair regrowth touched with any permanent colour and they gave me their word. I have wasted my money but I am far more upset by the deceit and devastated with the new unflattering colour. I do not have a poor understanding of how the dyes work, I study biochemistry. I am in no doubt that I was lied to.

I've had a rocky relationship with Headmaster's. It's a nice place and feels very professional as…read moreit's a large chain of salon's in the UK. It's also in a convenient location in the town centre by the Broad street mall. I was first introduced to Headmaster's in London near Paddington station and had consistently amazing results with my colourist Thea. Yet, the branch in Reading leaves something to be desired. The staff have given me both great and terrible results. The worst being some highlights done last year which were so uneven and over-processed. They responded professionally when I went back and gave me a full refund and another colour on top in an attempt to make my hair look normal again. However, it hasn't been the same since and I've been searching for the best hairdresser in Reading for a while now. I wish I could have found someone there I would be happy to recommend but nothing yet. I don't completely hate headmaster's but I can't love them either because I don't know the staff there enough. So, my main recommendation would be to go with a senior stylist or colourist if you decide to go here. I put pricey because the last time I went I felt it was very inflated for what I got. However, you can get good deals if you use the student discounts and recommend a friend or birthday discounts.

They also have something called stand0by haircuts, where you can get haircuts at reduced rates if you turn up on the day itself if peple cancel their appointments. I had a cut and colour and i am very pleased with the results. My friends and family complimented me on how my haircut suits my face. :) th interview went really well btw :)

Needing a hair cut, I stopped by early and hung around until (conveniently) the shop owner arrived at 10:00 AM. She did an excellent job of clipping away at the hair and keeping up an interesting conversation. I am very pleased with the cut and enjoyed the professionalism. I would absolutely return.

I arrived at about 4.45pm on a Thursday and there was no one else, so I was seen to immediately. The owner was friendly, chatted a little with me, asked me thoroughly about each step and made suggestions on how best to deal with my hair. It felt like being in competent hands. Since it was only a trim, she did a dry cut that cost only £15. Overall: top marks!

I've enjoyed each time I have visited and though it's often busy, this is a good thing for them and means they will continue to be around for years to come. They will feed you drinks and biccies so that's always good and the folks there have always been great including the scalp masage and great advice. They never pressure you to buy product and sometimes I have to ask about it so even in that way they are fab.

I dont like choosing a hairdressers. The salon could be…read moregreat but you could get a duff stylist!! I have used Segais for a few years, had different stylists every visit and i have never have a 'bad' haircut. Some are better than others, but they are all friendly and do a decent job. You need to book about a week in advance if you want a sepcific day/time, but if you're flexible they usually have something free withing a day or two. Have always been really good with kids too. They always offer a drink and some of the more expensive ones will do a really good consultation beforehand. Prices vary, obvioulsy on what you're getting done, but a basic haircut will will set you back anything from £15 to £47. Unless i am asking for someone specific, i always ask what title they are and i look it up on the pricelist so i know before i get there how much it will be. Or if your one step ahead, ask for the level that you would like to do your hair. Also look out instore for offers on hair colouring etc, they often have discount weeks advertised. ;o)

They didn't charge me anymore than their listprice though so was very impressed with that. Some places will only charge you the "from" price if your hair is really short and easy. I was delighted with the end colour and the cut. Had gone in not knowing what I wanted but the stylist did a fantastic job. Colours were woven really subtly but gave a definite lift to the overall look. Staff were all really friendly and unpretentious. That's very hard to find in modern salons. The salon itself is easy on the eye with light hardwood flooring and nice modern looking work stations. Will def be going back for next cut and blowdry. There is free parking outside as the salon is among a little parade of shops in middle of a residential area only 5 minute drive from town. Much easier than getting your hair cut in middle of Andover town where it's all pedestrianised.
