A year and a half ago I had my hair coloured at this salon. I asked for strawberry blonde, took…read morenumerous photographs with me and even went in for a consultation the day before to talk colours. My hair was dyed RED, not ginger, not orange, but primary colour, fire engine RED. Worse than that, as the bottom of my hair had been blonde before, this did not take the colour as well, and after washing the next day, went a lighter red, with the top of my hair still very bright red. Disaster. When I phoned to say I was unhappy, I was told "That's a shame". Terrible customer service. Went to Sophie Graham hair in Paisley- and she fixed my hair, total life saver, was in her salon for 9 hours, to try and salvage my hair after it was destroyed here. If your looking for a hairdressers go to Sophie Graham. Be warned! Volume at Clarkston toll is linked to this salon. Last week I booked in with Volume for semi-permanent eyelash extensions, however was later contacted stating my appointment would actually be at C Salon. I had vowed I would never return to C Salon but as I was not going for hair I decided to try it. I said I wanted them to look natural and the same length as my eyelashes just more volume. It was Clare herself who did them, and I tried to explain they were way too long and not what I asked for. She trimmed them, but for £47, a £5 strip of glue on's from Super drug would honestly look better. I have had semi permeant eyelashes before, and everywhere I've been has done a better job than this place, and they have looked natural and been worth the money. I don't like to post negative reviews, but I wouldn't want anyone else to feel the way did, especially after what happened with my hair. That was a year and a half ago and the condition of my hair has never been the same, my hair is still damaged as a result.

I've not ever actually had my hair cut or coloured by Claire's team but I've had hair removal, fancy blowouts, make up and mani/pedi and the service is always stellar and results are top notch. The other day I went in for a mani/pedi which I'd incorrectly booked on 5pm.co.uk (I accidentally booked a facial then blithely walked in expecting a mani-pedi). My beautician, Nicola, didn't miss a beat and switched up the service immediately, giving me a gorgeous mani/pedi without fuss. They could have told me to beat it since it was clearly my error but were professional and gracious about changing it round for me. Every time I go in not only do I get great results but everyone who works there is warm and personable. It's always like having a chat with an old friend while also getting beauty treatments. Nicola is amazing--an all rounder who will send you away as your best self, whatever you've booked. Over all C Salon is top shelf stuff, worth a visit not just for locals but from anyone looking for guaranteed results in a relaxing atmosphere.

A full head colour and cut and blow dry cost £57. The thing that some other salons do that really annoy me, is they will charge you extra for having your hair blow dried after a colour. A blow dry, at least, should ALWAYS be included in the price. I'll be a regular customer at sasscia from now on and I'll probably try the beauty aspect too.

I am absolutely disgusted with this salon!

My hair was completely unsightly, I went back to allow them to correct it, but before they did so the manager tried to argue that that's "how highlights should be"... After showing her the huge dark patches it was corrected. When it had originally been done apart from the junior doing half of my colour the junior also attempted my blow dry, It was an absolute mess, I offered to straighten the fringe part for her and she gave me the brush to do so, (To be honest when paying full price the whole process should be carried out by the person that you have booked your appointment with). There was no mention of this being a problem by the owner Irene and to be honest she should have been embarrassed that my hair was such a mess I was having to fix it myself. After my colour had been corrected I decided I had lost faith in them doing the colour and it still wasn't right so I had to dye it back to dark to hide the big patches that had been missed. Even after all this I was willing to let Barbara cut my hair as she is very good, but when i phoned to book the appointment the owner Irene decided to tell me that I wasn't to go back as they didn't feel comfortable doing my hair and falsely accusing me of pulling the hairbrush from the junior Holly, even though I had asked her if she wanted me to fix it myself and she said yes......I feel That Irene and Holly should be completely ashamed of themselves a) for the false allegations of pulling the brush from her hand and b) for allowing this junior Holly who obviously cannot colour or blow dry to make a mess of a clients hair...... I have lots of photographs of the mess my hair was in and am happy to post them.... I would also like to point out that the allegations of pulling the brush have only been mentioned to me since I had to return because of the mess that was made of my colour. I have never given any salon a bad review but the customer being right does not apply to this salon, Irene has a lot to learn regarding customer service... Again I can back up the mess of my hair with photographs I have taken. I should mention that I had used this salon for 6 years before Holly got her hands on my hair and told lies about me pulling the brush from her hand. There are better places in Kirkintilloch to go and thankfully I found that my original stylist Shannon ( who is AMAZING is working at another salon in Kirkintilloch so I shall be going there from now on!!!!

Ok I have to update my review from 11 years ago(!) - just for fun…read more I've been having my hair cut by Meg since... 2009 I think? I've been getting my hair cut at Rainbow Room salons since about 2005, though. I moved away in 2016, but Meg is still there and I still stop in whenever I'm in Glasgow because she just knows how to work with my hair better than anyone else. The salon has been remodeled recently and it looks fantastic. It's really modern, super bright, and they've made great use of the space. You still get a great view of George Square, too. The stylists seem to enjoy how functional it all is. Now that they have reopened they've continued to have strict protocols - minimising contact, spacing out appointments, and requiring masks. So much has changed, and so little. They still take the time to sit down and get to know their clients, consult on what they're looking for, and include some little luxury extras like a head massage before they wash your hair. They use good products and tools. My hair always looks and feels great once Meg is done with it. She also takes into account how it will grow out. Honestly, I usually leave thinking it's a bit short, but then 2-4 weeks later it sits exactly how I had hoped. With other hairdressers I often find I have split ends after a few weeks, but my most recent cut still looks great 6 weeks on and I'm still getting compliments on it. If you're looking for a hair salon in Glasgow, look no further.

Claire Frances, sitting right at the part of Woodlands Road that meets Charing Cross, has been…read moreconsistently good to my hair over the years. I hold a special place in my heart for this place because it's where I got my first professional colouring done. I felt very brave at the time - not that it's the kind of thing that deserves a medal! - but I was hankering for some blondie bits in my hair and finally got round to setting the scissors in motion. My hair is black and when I first visited it had faded pink/brown highlights in it. But the staff were really nice about the colour (despite the fact I was starting to look like a hedge in autumn), and gave me highlighting advice. I was really happy with the result, and felt like the girl who dyed it was quite brave since most hairdressers are reluctant to highlight dark hair. It stayed in good condition, though, and this place over the months helped me get blonder and blonder - till I got bored and moved on to something else. Eventually highlighting started to weigh heavily on my hair follicles and I returned to Claire Frances before my graduation to get back in blaaaack (as the song goes). Once again I got really good service, friendly advice and an awesome hair cut. My hair was returned to its former, glossy past and the girl gave me a deep condition at a very reasonable price to help maintain a healthy look. I'll definitely be back in the near future since staff are always consistent, complimentary, give good advice and are really good at colouring. They are always very accomodating when they're busy and you run in for a last minute snip (which I do, often). They also offer student discount and are open late mid week which is handy if you don't get out of work till five. Prices very - it can be up to £100 pounds for a cut and colour, but it's worth it (no pun or L'oreal reference intended). Advice is free and a cut and blow dry ranges in at about £30 for females - average price for the calibre this salon stands in. It has warm surroundings, chilled out atmosphere and there's always several stylists on hand to help you out. They go out of their way to relax you and most importantly they rescue hair when you're responsible for ruining it, so I always leave a very happy customer! Why spend time waiting weeks for an appointment in town when this place is five minutes away (and arguably better)?

It's near on 10 years that I've been a regular here, having Claire cut my hair everytime. I had tried a few salons on first moving to Glasgow, but ended up getting snipped ears (really!), poor service, or being kept waiting for up to an hour, with no apology or offer of refreshment. On being recommended here, I cannot bear the thought of another person putting their scissors near me! Claire is a brilliant hairdresser and always tells you what will work, not necessarily what you would like if it isn't going to suit you or your hair can't do it. Staff are always friendly and if you don't fancy a tea or coffee, you can always have a wee glass of wine or a beer! Relaxed atmosphere and competitively priced, you won't be disappointed on coming here. Just be prepared to become a regular and hear me say 'told you so' :-) You Gotta Get Snipped Here! :-D

This was with thanks to Ryan W. who posted on the Talk thread about Hely Hair's 50% discount on…read morecolour. I thought I desperately need a hair cut, I haven't been to a hairdressers in six months. I know, pretty bad!! I normally colour it myself but I thought, let's give the Hely Hair family peeps a go. I first went along to check it out and see if I could book an appointment. I was greeted by a lovely girl who said I could have a consultation there and then with their colourist, Carrie Anne. She was absolutely delightful and so down to earth. I always worry that the more expensive a place, the more posh they'll be making me feel really intimidated. There was none of that at all. Carrie Anne brought out the colour book and I explained the colours I like and have had previous. It was weird for me as I have never used my phone pics before and she had her iPad with previous clients hair colours and style, so between us both we compared to get a better idea of what would be best and what I liked. So modern! Hehe!! They were very busy, appointments wise, but I managed to book in on the last day of the 50% colour sale deal. Phew! I had opted to go with four different colours. Why not?! Hely Hair isn't too far from Hyndland Train Station and there's plenty of lovely places for a coffee and bite to eat, so, is well located. Again, as I arrived on H-Day, I was greeted by lovely smiling faces and then taken up to the mezzanine level to be seated and prepped for Carrie Anne. She was spot on and had a good note of what we went through the previous week. We then just picked a base colour then the magic began. I also had another girl helping out on my colour, I believe her name was Erin, she was absolutely lovely too. I felt like a proper lady getting pampered. They were fast and efficient and the only waiting time was the development. I was made sure I had a wee cuppa and some magazines to pass the time. I also enjoy just taking in the atmosphere and people watching, seeing what other clients are having done. They said they don't have too many customers who come in for bright colours so they enjoyed the experience with a real excitement themselves to see the results. Well, with a wash, snip and fabulous blow dry style I felt wonderful and the end result was beautiful. To me I felt like a velvet cherry. Hehe!! My hair looked amazing, just like velvet, and the colours were so rich. I officially name this look 'The Velvet Cherry'. In the end it was a little more pricey than expected even with the 50% discount, my fault in I should have asked for a quote first as I did have a few colours. I don't go to hairdressers often so it makes up for all those lost appointments and I get my hair back to a healthy, more manageable, state with gorgeous colours. A massive thanks to the girls and I would definitely go back, even just for a cut and blow dry as it was that good. I'm off to swoosh my luscious locks once more.

Well that's the predicament I find myself in all the time. Fortunately when I was walking past Coda one day, I noticed the 'standby appointment £25' sign in the window and thought, yeah I could get my hair cut. So went in and got it done.

This was a major change for me too, it wasn't just a little trim that anyone could have done correctly. I went from shoulder length to a slightly asymmetrical pixie cut and I couldn't be happier with the result! I've been visiting Glasgow for a few months already and I walk by Coda every day and noticed they accept walk-ins (standby appointments), so I thought why not give them a try? I first checked out reviews and others places in the area, but they seemed like the right kind of atmosphere and price for me. I don't really enjoy stuffy or stuck-up high end hair salons, as I always feel out of place and uncomfortable. That was not the case at Coda at all. When I first walked up those stone stairs to get to the actual salon that looks over Sauchiehall Street I was a bit nervous (trying new hairdressers is always a big deal, you know!). They didn't have any immediate time open, but I was asked to come back in 45 minutes and they could take me. When I got back I was greeted and taken to the chair right away by a long haired gentleman. I have never had my hair cut by a man before so this was new to me. I showed him the pictures of the pixie cut I wanted and he talked over a few of the details with me just to make sure we were both on the same page. Then he started to cut the length and the hair came flying off! I have never seen a hairdresser so meticulous and detail oriented about their work. It was a complete pleasure to have him cut my hair. I could tell that he didn't leave one single hair untouched and everything was done with absolute precision. Even the messy look I wanted styled at the end was a completely controlled chaos. He placed each tuft of hair exactly how he wanted it to make it absolutely perfect. I honestly wish I had gotten his name so I could mention him directly, but he's tall with long hair and tattoos, very nice, and obviously amazing at what he does! I can not speak for any other hairdressers there, but if they're anything like him then you're in good hands with any of them. I would most certainly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh and edgy new cut, because that's exactly what I got. On top of all that it was only £25 and I was informed they offer free fringe trims for returning clients. How can anyone pass that up? The only thing that bums me out about this whole experience is that I'll be leaving soon and won't get to have them as my regular hairdresser. What a shame!

While, my favourite hairdressers of all time remains Hair Design (a bit more of a walk away), I reckon Cortex will please the masses. It is a small, local hair dressers which is friendly and often fairly quiet so you don't always need to have made an appointment earlier (this suits me, due to my highly indecisive nature). The girls in here are really nice and if you want some advice on what they'd recommend they'll happily provide a few suggestions. I've always had a decent cut out of here and the prices are very reasonable. Though, I've never had my hair dyed in here, so I'm not sure what that aspect of the business is like. They also offer spray tans for only £10 a pop. Something I've yet to try in here but I've heard some very good reviews of it. So, may well take up this great deal once the summer starts to show itself.
