I've been back for a second appointment with Louise and, every time, just entering the salon is…read morelike a reunion with old friends. The welcome is always warm from each member of staff, and they always make sure you've a drink, a seat and something to read. Another point worth noting is that the coffee is real coffee, not instant, which is certainly an extra perk! The salon itself is light, impeccably clean, airy and a calming space to be. Every consultation I've had with Louise has been so informative, much more so than with any other salon I've been to, especially where colouring hair has been concerned. Reminders, such as the fact that the hair I have is many years old now so I've to look after it, are really useful - I rarely consider that my hair is so old, and obviously it's hard/nigh on impossible to fix broken hair, so the advice is very pertinent. Whilst I toyed with the idea of going blond (yikes!) the fact that it would be very tough on my long hair made me return to the striking red that I've come to love. On the first appointment, we lightened up previous home-dye jobs, to allow the colour to shine through. Looking through the booklet we discussed a mixture of the brightest and a slightly deeper red, and on both occasions it has looked utterly vibrant and beautiful! The quality of the dye used is fantastic, and has far out-lasted the sub-standard home-dye kits I've used before. Plus, I'm certain it's kinder to my hair! The process lasted, as expected, a few hours for the dying, washing and treatments. My hair felt wonderful afterwards, and it was a much needed revitalisation for my previously tired locks. Because my hair is so long now, styling is a little tricky, but with Louise at the helm I've come away with a great cut. Nothing overtly 'stylised', but I have the length tidied and intact, and a sweeping sort of fringe to shape my face. Parfait! The best bit? I barely have to do a thing for it to sit right, which is the biggest achievement -I'm not very good, or patient, with hair so that's wonderful for me, and certainly the mark of a talented stylist. Although pricing is on the higher end of the scale, the experience and care you receive is absolutely worth it. I would totally recommend the salon to anyone, especially if you're in need of advice. Give them a visit, and give yourself a proper pamper. It's a fantastic salon! Can't wait for my next appointment.

Despite being in the middle of the "Otley Run" (a student haven of pubs) the salon is an oasis of calm. After walking in to the massively friendly welcome, a glass of fizz was thrust into my hand and I was whisked into a chair for an hour's utter relaxation. I've heard from many "ladies of colour" (which I am) that they would never allow a white man to touch their hair. Well ladies,you're mental. Martin not only excels where other salons have failed but relishes in the challenge of hair that's different to what most of his clients possess. It's not the cheapest salon in the city but goodness me, it's worth every single penny. I shall see you soon boys :) x

My stylist was Andrea who's a true professional (and serves the best coffee I've tasted at a hair salon). Everyone was just wonderful, from arriving and being greeted and seated, discussing my needs and desires through to the actual execution! I'm not great at salons having been almost scalped once many years ago but Andrea simply put me at ease. She had a really good way about her. They use Paul Mitchell products which smell divine and after having had my hair washed, trimmed and dried I was thrilled at the evenness of my highlights and the glossiness of my hair. Thrilled also that not too much was cut off. At just over £50 that's a real bargain, so it's 5 stars from me - as they say on Yelp - it really is as good as it gets here! Try The Padd I really don't think you'll be disappointed.

Generally, I am a very lazy person when it comes to my appearance. I rarely wear makeup, or…read morejewellery, and I never do anything with my hair beyond a wash and perhaps a quick hairdrying. I have often found myself the victim of over-zealous hairdressers who want to style me. On many occasions I have left the hairdresser with a haircut that looks amazing but I will be completely incapable of recreating it at home. The thing I hate the most though is straighteners. I have pretty straight hair as it is and when the power of straighteners is added to it the ends look like they could split someone's throat. As a result, I parted company with my old hairdresser when they openly disregarded my request to not have my hair straightened. With a apprehensive heart, therefore, I went in search of a new hairdresser and ended up with Darren at Mega City One. What a joy. He complimented the condition of my hair (most pleasing), paid attention and did exactly what I wanted. No straighteners, no hair spray, no nothing. On subsequent occasions, if he is at all unsure about what I mean, he shows a picture of what he is thinking so there are no unfortunate surprises when it comes to the mirror moment. And only 25.50, which to be fair I still consider a lot for a haircut, although I accept that my thoughts are out of kilter with the rest of world and 25.50 is actually pretty cheap. I even managed to persuade the boyfriend to give it a go, and naturally, he is frightened of getting his hair cut. Something to do with scissors nearby his face. The first time I had to go with him, but now he is happy to go on his own and as a result, now looks presentable for 78% of the year. Hurray!!
