Endless lotions and potions are stacked tetris-style on shelf after shelf covering all the available window space and making your head spin with the seemingly infinite hair pampering options available! If you have afro hair and like to coax it into any style of your choosing then I can't imagine you could go away empty handed! They also sell hair dryers and styling tools, hair dye, wigs, weaves, clip in hair extensions and a huge range of hair accessories. On top of this they have a huge variety of body lotions and skin creams and a selection of makeup. It would be easy to feel pretty overwhelmed by the vast array of products on display, but the staff are helpful and friendly and will point you in the right direction. Sihala provides many products to be used by all women but specialises in a range of products for black people that would not be found in most high street cosmetics retailers, which often tend to overlook the specific needs of black customers. Go Sihala!

Another hair shop! For a shop in the market The Hair Shop has an impressive shiny new façade which…read moreI'm sure attracts many customers. It stocks a wide variety of wigs and hair extensions, many made from 100% human hair. Like the several other shops of this type in Leeds they also stock false eyelashes, nails, makeup, nail varnish, hair accessories, curlers, hair products and hair styling electrical goods such as hair dryers, curlers and straighteners. Despite the vast array of hair related products to cram into limited space, the products are neatly displayed and allow for easy browsing. They are also reasonably cheap in price. Ladies (or gents) who aspire to have long, thick, luscious locks will love this place and are sure to find something to add to their mane!

(There's a shot in my profile images if you're curious.) Staff are very friendly, the prices great, and there's a boat load of other products for hair and such too. Have a browse, maybe you'll find something to reinvent yourself!

Debenhams is a large chain of department stores in the UK, and they tend to have lots of large stores and be a regular anchor at a large amount of malls, even closer to home, being a Mancunian I'd also like to add how Debenhams also anchor at the Trafford Centre, one of the biggest malls in the United Kingdom. I mainly came in this store to have a look at the fragrances and small gifts with Christmas approaching and being exactly three weeks from the day of my visit, also the day I'm writing this review. The staff didn't seem too friendly, the person who served me originally seemed like I bothered him and went to get someone else, he seemed helpful but he was eager to just leave me to it, rather than give me advice. He just said here's your paper, here's your pen goodbye! I did see a nice range of some aftershaves including Hugo Boss, but the selection was much poorer than other stores nearby including The Fragrance Shop in some ways and Boots. I was also annoyed not to be given any samples and just given cards (or myself) to spray it on and test it. Most of the prices seemed a little high too, and there wasn't many offers for example the Chanel No5 Perfume, which my friend was looking at was around £20 - £25 more expensive than The Perfume Shop, which was running a 15% offer on the same day. Sadly there isn't much else to say, this is a decent store and worth a look in but sadly it isn't much more than that and doesn't deserve over two stars with the range and pricing of certain items and customer service being a key reason for the lower rating than which I would have liked.

I called in The Perfume Shop today with my friend while in Bradford, who was looking to pick up…read moresome new perfume. This store is basically a fragrance shop for men and women, but I have to admit the name can be a bit off-putting for men as the "Perfume Shop" gives an impression that they focus on Perfume and Women, which I feel they still do, which is a shame. This store is a decent size, although fairly average compared to other stores in the chain. The woman who served me in the store lacked confidence and sales techniques, she couldn't work out basic math puzzles to what 15% would be, meanwhile the other man who worked there overhearing the situation also tried to work it out, he even began to dispute that I had worked out the answer before him saying "That's not right" only for me to get it right so technically it's Aaron 1 Perfume Shop 0, which interestingly was the result from the past Bradford City home-game as they faced Northampton. My friend was looking at picking up the Chanel 5 perfume, the female server also lacked the confidence and skills to be able to recommend certain products, I asked what was the best value and she said it depends how much you are willing to pay. Wrong. The 100ml is better value as it would work out cheaper per ml than the 35 or 50, this is what I was looking at. The server also didn't seem to know the pries of thing, she did try overcharging me than the 15% off you would get if you signed up to the loyalty scheme, she told me about this and then said it has already been knocked off, so I had to bring up the website to show her evidence that she was being deceitful, and I ended up paying the price it should have been. I also had a look at the mens aftershave when my friend has finished, they also lacked confidence to recommend products and the selection seemed poor, I did get a few samples but I was mainly upset with how I was treated with the staff and the lack of basic skills they had, meaning I certainly wouldn't recommend the store, which even used pressure selling to get my friend to buy the perfume using the approach "The offer ends today you won't get it another time,"

The Look is a cheap cosmetics shop in the market. It's pretty much what you'd expect from such a…read moreshop with piles of unbranded eyeliners, lipsticks, foundation, eyeshadow etc. As Aniela has pointed out, it's not the kind of place you'd buy from if you have sensitive skin as it can be difficult to find out the ingredients of the products and natural products can be much easier to trust. However, if you usually by cheap branded make up anyway, the makeup here may not be particularly worse in quality and the prices are definitely a bonus if you're counting the pennies. They also sell a huge amount of fragrances and aftershave by well-known brands so if you're into perfume, you may well find something at a good price to suit your nose's taste!

I would never buy anything here, as I have no idea where it comes from. There are baskets and baskets of different bits and pieces of jumbled up make up, that due to the lack of order, you have to pick up and look at. I felt that everytime I did this, I was getting the evil eye cast over me by the shop ladies. One upside is that they do stock incredibly bright nail varnishes at reasonable prices.

Things like aftershave, stuff for shaving and deodorants are so much cheaper in here than in Boots. What I don't like about the shop is there's always a big queue, and even though they have 4 tills generally I have only seen 2 being used at once. Nevertheless, it's still a pretty handy place to go pick up some cheap(ish) essentials.

It is actually located next store to rival brand, Superdrug, this is something I always find amusing, the one advantage this store has over Superdrug is that they have a Pharmacy inside Boots, which is useful for picking up medications when in Bradford city centre. Although the Pharmacy could be greatly improved as the hours are limited. The Pharmacy shuts considerably earlier than the rest of the store, it closes at 17:30 during the week, which in my opinion is far too early for a city centre, especially when the store opens until 7 pm. It closes earlier on weekends too at 15:30, do they think people fail to get sick in the afternoon and early evening? The selection inside the store was good, there was a large selection of gift cards, and the selection of men's products including toiletries was good. Prices are competitive with offers available including Student Discount and Boots Advantage. 3*
