    Ken Picton - The outside of the salon

    Fair warning - this salon is NOT cheap so if you are going for a very simple style that other…read morehairdressers can pull off I'm not going to recommend it. It's most definitely a high-end place that I recommend only for special occasions of if you're really looking to treat yourself. With that said, I've been to 3 "high-end" salons so far in Cardiff - Guy Christian, Hair Bauhaus, and Ken Picton and I can definitely say that if I were to pick one that I'd come back to - it'd definitely be this place. I came here for hair and makeup for my wedding and made a booking right at opening time (9 AM). - HAIR - (£55) They sat me down straight away upon arrival after taking my coat and umbrella and Matthew was in charge of my hair. Absolutely LOVED him! To preface, I don't really have great fashion sense so when I'm paying for a stylist, I'm hoping that they took full control. Matthew was happy to do so and styled my hair based off what dress I would be wearing. He also walked me through all of his decisions and why! I told them that the top of the dress is lacy with long sleeves and he decided that he wanted to go for an elegant soft look with hair up to focus attention on the lace detail of the dress. The result was fantastic! The picture I included was near the end of the day (I neglected to take a photo of the initial result) so it looked a bit messier than it initially was, but you can still see the very pretty design! - MAKEUP - (£40) I was with Sarah for my makeup and she was very friendly and fabulous. She was a bit more hesitant to take full control compared to Matthew, but she was still nice as she slowly realised that I don't know much about makeup myself! The end result was lovely though and she even taught me which spots I should contour if I were ever to try it myself in the future. I also mentioned to her that I'm a crier so my only request was that my under-eye makeup is limited because it would bound to be ruined (a prophecy that later came true as I started sobbing at the first line of the vows lol). --- Overall, I'm very pleased with the service I received at Ken Picton's salon and would definitely come back. I don't normally do much to style myself, but Ken Picton's is now going to be my go-to in Cardiff if I wanted to do a bit of pampering again. 5 stars for Matthew and Sarah!

    The experience of going to Ken Picton is more like a day out than a hair cut. Being a male is an…read moreadvantage as the pricing is slightly better than for women, having a colouring a cut can set you back £110 approximately but a good hair styling for £40 is typical. The staff are always polite and very accommodating offering drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) magazines and generally talkative. There are apple macs you can use while your colour is setting. They make a point of remembering you from previous sessions so as to create a real report. They text reminders to keep you informed. It's a very stylish interior hair salon. Opening late on thursdays. Word of advise book in advance.

    I was hoping that there was already a decent picture up for Pebbles as the one I've taken is of the…read moreplace with its shutters down... so it's sod's law that there is already an image up of the place that shows you what it looks like when it's closed! I'll still put mine up as it's taken from a slightly different angle, and those shutters are really very nice!!! It will be interesting to see how Pebbles fairs now that there is some increased competition on this street in the form of Viva. This salon has a more affordable pricing structure, especially as they have some great introductory offers on at the moment. I would imagine that Pebbles will cope admirably under the increased pressure. They haven't got all of their eggs in one basket and so even if the hairdressing side is mildly affected they have always got the beauty therapies to fall back on. Having said this, I'm not sure how much of a dent Viva will make. This is a popular and friendly salon that seems to have a loyal client base.

    I didn't manage to get a picture of this place while it was open so I'm afraid you can only see the…read moresign and not the inside. You will have to trust me when I say that it's nice inside! Having your hair put up, which is what I had done, was £25 - however, you do need to check before you just wander in because the price is actually a minimum of £25. I assume that if you have more hair it would be more. The prices in general, that I sneaked a peak at, are pretty good - about £25 for a cut and blow dry, They also offer make up services, as well as haircuts for men and children. For me, it was a perfectly good experience but it's a little out of my way, like everything on Whitchurch Road, so I probably won't go back again. I wasn't THAT won over.
