I get my basic bog-standard gents trim done here and am very happy with it…read more I'm more of a 'traditional barbers' person and never all that fussed about that 'salon feel', the first time I went I was worried that as a normal-looking ordinary bloke I would get laughed out of the place by a gaggle of perma-tanned platinum blondes, but in fact it's perfectly friendly and the occasional gents trim seems like bread & butter work to them. They'll book you in quite quickly if you're not bothered who cuts your hair for you- they appear to have some sort of grading system where the most experienced hairdressers cost more and the new or trainee ones are cheaper. I'll get my hair cut by whoever they like, the results are always fine. Depending on who you get, they may or may not have a chat with you, but never in that in-your-face taxi-driver style that I find really offputting at some other hairdressers- I want to get my hair cut, not have some kind of interview.. Thankfully at Hair & Beauty Works they're not too in-your-face (and neither is my hair a hohoho sorry). They're reasonably priced and they cut hair well.

In a slightly weird position over in Aztec West, I was recommended this hairdressers, Alan…read moreBrendrey, by a friend, so made the trip out to give him a go. It was well worth it, and despite his position he seems to run a thriving and busy business - probably receiving a lot of trade from the neighbouring offices. The salon is quite large with a modern feel to it - it has a separate 'wet' room with the sinks, and then a really decent amount of haircutting stations. That, in itself, must be a sign of their high custom. It's always been busy when I've been in, and each time I have it's been fairly late evening. If you can, get Alan to cut your hair - he's clearly a master of his trade, and very talkative (not in an annoying way- he'll give you an intelligent conversation) and friendly. The prices aren't super cheap, but you definitely pay for a quality of service.

After having a bad experience with a local hairdressing salon I asked around and was recommeneded…read moreto visit Alan Bendrey & Co. I have been twice now and have really enjoyed the experience. I like the fact that it is busy but you feel relaxed & not croweded, most importantly everyone is friendly. My hair colour is the best it has been for a long time and I am really pleased with the cut. The cuting prices are comparable to where I have been in the past with the colouring being slightly more - worth it though as you get a much more professional result. I would highly recommend this salon.
