Headmasters

I used to go to Headmasters in Great Portland Street (London) but after my hairdresser moved to…read moreBrighton, I couldn't not follow. It is a pricey salon, there's no getting away from that, but they do colour sales and 'VIP' (loyalty) discounts, so there are ways to make it cheaper. I've never had a bad experience with them and my hairdresser Bryce is absolutely wonderful. Could not recommend him enough as he's always done an incredible job on my hair. I've attached a photo of my new purple do so you can see his amazing colour work. Before that he'd helped he get from a darker brown through to a natural looking blonde that suited my roots. Always happy and feeling great afterwards. And the chairs that you sit in while washing your hair have massages in them!

I was damn impressed by this place, and had to come and yelp about it right away. There aren't many…read moresalons I can think of that are this big and finished to such a fine detail, that let you call them up on the day, get an appointment for an hour and a halves time, turn up looking dishevelled and dripping with rain, and show a picture of an animé character and say "can you make me look like this please?" without laughing you out of the shop and to a mental institute. But that's exactly what I did, and it only cost £15. Maybe I picked a quite time to go and was somewhat fortunate, but I felt every bit as pampered (boy is it hard to sound manly when talking about haircuts) as I have done in the handful of other salons I have visited, and revisited. I'm not the chattiest of people when having my hair put at risk, and am quite satisfied to exchange meaningful words and light hearted jokes, rather than to talk aimlessly throughout the process. And from the looks of things, the fine men and women at Headmasters seemed more than happy to comply with either approach. So far as the consultation was concerned, it was easily the most practical I've had... Which was in no small part aided by me showing a picture of Spike Spiegel (from Cowboy Bebop) and asking if his gravity defying curls were physically possible. While assuring me that it would not look exactly the same, I personally felt it came as close to the fiction as reality would allow without the aid of a wig, and for that I'm bloomin' grateful. I have to say, I felt silly for making such a random request, but I was reassured incredibly quickly... Needless to say, I'll be returning to Headmasters again when I next have the urge to animé myself up!

Now, I have problems finding the perfect hairdresser, as I'm sure many do. Rush is one of the only…read moreplaces I have been to where I have been happy with what they've done for me every single time I've visited (which is a lot! I'm a salon addict). The guys (and gals) who work in there are extremely friendly, and all know what they're doing when it comes to hair, and offer free consultations if you're unsure about what you want. Although it is a little on the pricey side, they have plenty of good offers on the go, and if you recommend a friend then you and your friend both get 50% off, so it can end up being a bargain.

Horrible experience here, don't go. As soon as I sat in the chair they instantly started being so…read morepushy for me to buy extra products and treatments, before they had even touched my hair. It was so uncomfortable and every time I said no to an extra treatment they'd push and push, telling me I really should get it and I had to buy the products to take home. Listening in to the conversations around the room, every hairdresser was adding surcharges and hidden costs to customers appointments, waiting until they're in the seat to tell them this or that will be £30 more. My hairdresser was doing two appointments at once, meaning I was left sat with wet hair in the sink for half an hour. I'd booked for highlights, cut and blowdry but she said I could only have a trim off my ends and barely cut my hair. Not worth the money at all!

I love going to the hairdressers, its feels indulgent and I usually leave with my self-confidence…read moreboosted to the tune of £40- a fair exchange every few months! Unfortunately my experience at North Laine Hair Co was not so blissful... It started well, my stylist was chatty but not annoyingly so- we did the obligatory hometown and holiday talk and then he got down to business. I was provided with magazines and water and was treated to a great hair wash that included a splendid 5 minute head massage. Seriously, it was amazing, so much so that I feel bad about what I'm going to say next... Great head massage, poor hair cut. Unfortunately my stylist did not listen to my concerns about his cutting my layers in a centre parting when I wear my hair in a severe side parting. The result- totally foreseeable and highly irritating- all my layers ended up on one side. In addition to this, I specifically requested minimal use of styling products, yet left the salon with a Saved by the Bell wet-look perm! Curly hair is difficult, no question, but you've got to know how to cut it! You can print a £5 voucher from their website, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend redeeming it!

Would definitely recommend!…read more The people here were very welcoming and easy to work with. They were open to my ideas and had suggestions of their own to achieve those ideas. I wanted a bright dye on some layers of my black (not dyed) hair, and they suggested bleaching it first, but because I was on a budget, I wanted to skip the bleaching -- although I was very well aware of the risk of applying copper-colored dye onto stubborn black hair. Needless to say, it didn't show up very well, and Mel & James were nice enough to offer complimentary treatment after to lift the color. This surprised me, as most hair salons would not offer this kind of generosity. The color in the end, turned out exactly as I wanted! There's a student discount M-W for 20% off and Th-F for 10% off so that's a great deal! My total ended up being 38 pounds, which was well worth it for what I got. All in all, I'm glad I chose this place and would definitely come back for any further hair treatments! Thanks Mel & James!

Easily the worst experience with a salon I've ever had. For a company that says how important…read morecustomer service is, I was treated awfully. 1. I asked for a balayage to cover my roots that had grown out from previous highlights and blend in, stylist said I should have highlights instead as it would 'look the same'. She proceeded, and the end result was poor to say the least. Pics for evidence. The lighting in the salon is bad, as a few staff mentioned prior. I had a blow dry which wasn't completed properly. I was only able to see the mess they made once I had stepped out into natural lighting. 2. Went into the salon to ask for them to fix my hair, and was introduced to Warren who agreed it was awful, and booked me in for a fix up. I went in and had the treatment done. I heard conversations where the manager/owner was telling Warren to charge me full if I didn't complain, but if i did complain I should just be charged £30. Red flag. Treatment finished and looked better. Was told I had to pay £30 for the blow dry, so I paid without argument. Stepped out into natural light, and instead of brown to match my natural hair colour the top of my hair was now auburn/ginger. Pic attached. 3. Emailed saying I wasn't happy as I now have ruined hair (my hair is long so it's not an easy fix as it needs to grow out), and that I wanted a refund. Michelle told me to speak to Jay, another stylist, so he could fix it. I said no as I've already had 2 treatments and I don't want another bad one, so I asked for a full refund again. 4. They ignored my emails and messages for a month. They previously responded nearly instantly. Found out they blocked my Facebook account, so messaged them on my partners account. Michelle replied saying she would email me her situation. A few days pass and we try to message them on my partners account. This account is now blocked. 5. I send an email (all emails and messages sent were polite and professional) saying how I know they've blocked us, and we'll have to take it further if we don't hear back. Funnily enough, they respond in 20 minutes, disputing my claims, saying it was MY fault, and that I was threatening and harassing them along with other lies. Regardless of however many years of experience their team have they still cannot provide such good service so don't be fooled. I have read many reviews from this hair salon, before they were called Vybe Hair Design, one main point being their unprofessional behaviour. I also felt this when having my hair done, the eye rolling and the little comments that were made around the team made me feel uncomfortable. It's very clear they shouldn't be running a business if this is their attitude towards complaints and business in general. I've had opinions from other salons saying the result was awful.

I've only in recent years grasped the concept of finding good hairdressers; the journey has been…read morelong and hard, full of expensive, unsatisfying crops and extensive hat-wearing. After moving to Brighton I was considering travelling back to Hastings to get my hair cut as I've misplaced all my cool hats and was scared to venture anywhere new. I stumbled on Venus last month on payday (the ONLY day I excitedly splash the cash before the rent goes out), and am proud to say I've found my new hairdresser. There was a 25% discount for my first visit, (check out the offers tab on this page for your own voucher) with a promise of 15% off on my next, and free fringe cuts in between, although I've never been in for one. The staff are friendly and chatty, and mysteriously knew exactly what I wanted, even though I didn't. They were professional, helpful and were patient with my indecisiveness. I'll definitely be returning to take advantage of my next discount.
