Honestly I was raging after this trip. I found the whole experience to be so stressful and I was mad at myself for wasting precious time and money on it.
I had booked in for a blowdry the morning I was going to a wedding, and from the get-go I felt like I was invisible there. I stood and waited to be acknowledged at the reception desk for minutes, then was asked to sit down and wait a further 10 minutes before having my hair washed. My hair wasn't washed til 10.25 - 25 minutes after arriving. (Point to note here that actually the girl who washed my hair was a super-friendly pro, and she is the one reason I'm giving my visit two stars instead of one).
The stylist who blowdried my hair was pretty blunt and standoffish to the point of unfriendliness. I never felt confidence in her listening to me and my requirements and as it turned out, the blowdry she gave me really wasn't good. In fact if I do get a blow dry, I would usually go to my local salon who are head and shoulders above them and about half the price. When I left, I realised that the backcombing she'd done was totally visible on the outside, and the rest of the curls fell out after about an hour. I ended up having to redo my hair when I went home - not what you want after spending 35 euro on it!
My friend went along for an appointment afterwards and she had the same feeling about the staff being really rude and unprofessional (two staff members standing over her giving about one of their holidays they'd just come back from)
If I wasn't in a rush running for an appointment straight afterwards, I would have gotten her to fix it up, but as it was I was already late, I had to run (a blow dry should never take longer than an hour slot guys!!!)
All in all, going to the hairdressers before an event should be a relaxing experience that sets you up well for the day and takes some of the hassle out of your hands. Not a stressful experience that leaves you wanting to get out of there, and when you do, having to redo it yourself anyway.
I certainly would not be returning here again. read more
