Once in a while I get really bored with my hair and decide to go for a completely different look. My only problem is finding someone who will be able to decipher and bring to life EXACTLY what I want, preferably in the way that works better. Oh, and did I mention I'm really lazy when it comes to looking after it at home? Yeah... so pretty much I need a stylist who knows what they're doing.
My radar for good hairdressers is improving with the years, and after passing by Lunatic Fringe many times, I finally decided to drop in and get an appointment with them. The hostess is a very nice and competent lady, and she really does a good job at making you feel welcome and taken care of. Even though I was ready to pay for one of their most senior stylists, after describing to her what I was looking for she put me up with one of their juniors, Adele, and assured me she was very good.
When the day came for my make-over, Adele was an absolute professional! She listened carefully to what I wanted, we looked at some pictures together and she gave me her input before we were both satisfied we were on the same page, and I gave her the go-ahead.
She then proceeded to cutting my hair in a very perfectionist and technical manner, and the result was a) EXACTLY what I wanted and b) a really good haircut that's hassle-free and which everyone compliments me for! She really understood what my hair is like and worked with it. So I couldn't be happier, I think this was excellent value.
I went back a few weeks after that, for a FREE trim - in my case it was just a quick shave, to maintain part of the haircut. Absolutely great customer service from their part. Expect all the other pleasantries that come with a good salon: complimentary tea, a solid booking service with reminders by text, vouchers for friends and occasional promos for clients.
I know who I'll be trusting with my hair again :) read more
