For a couple of years I'd wanted to get rid of my now 'almost' black hair colour, but as my hair is long (and doesn't grow very fast) I was SO worried about having it stripped just to go a few shades lighter back to chocolate brown. I had visions of being left with a head full of wayward straw, and having to have loads cut off just to keep it in some sort of condition!!! BUT, I took the plunge and booked in at Lisa's salon in Kidderminster, with the colour director - and needn't have worried at all! After 6 hours I emerged with shiny smooth chocolate brown hair - just the way I'd wanted it - and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's a fab salon and the staff are all great - and more importantly they KNOW exactly what they are doing - so don't hestitate - get yourself booked in!!!!!! Some people might think it's pricey, I thought it was very reasonable, but at the end of the day (and I can say this thru past experiences) if you want quality and skill - and nice hair - you can't expect to get it for nothing, you get what you pay for! read more
