I had a promotional offer for Rush in Redhill and decided it was time for a haircut! (as one does)
Was pleasantly meant at the counter by a friendly and polite young woman who offered me a beverage and to sit down and wait for the stylist.
The stylist, Simon, was really lovely. Shook my hand and introduced himself, which personally, I think is incredibly important. There isn't anything worse than sitting for an hour with somebody fiddling with ones hair who hasn't bothered to even introduce themselves!
He studied my face and hair deciding that I had a lovely neck (Oh the blushing!) and would suit taking my hair very short at the back of my head. We discussed a few ideas and I was satisfied that we had covered what he felt would suit and what I would prefer.
I was introduced to a woman (who's name I can't remember, I apologise) who washed my hair. She wasn't too rough and I was impressed that she bothered to lift up my head to make sure the hair at my neck was also clean (not that I don't wash my hair.) I had a treatment run through it and explained what it was, what it would do and how often I should have my hair treated this way. All very informative.
Back in the seat, I was seen to within moments and Simon was incredibly chatty and friendly. I enjoyed the banter and felt at ease and less nervous about the outcome of my hair.
Apart from a brief poke in the eye, which was probably one of the funniest things that has ever happened to me in a hairdressers, I was very happy with the end result of my hair. I felt he had listened to me, had highlighted my best features and provided me with a service that made me feel special and worth the effort!
I was very pleased with the outcome and impressed with the lovely people here. I would recommend and would go again. In fact I think I'm booked in for early September :) read more
