Just slightly outside the centre of Carrickfergus, this was a salon that I didn't really know an…read moreawful lot about, until my usual hairdresser double booked me the day before I was due to go away on holiday and was unable to see me. After an absolute nightmare trying (unsuccessfully) for somewhere to fit me in for a cut and colour, Andrea's was suggested to me by one of my friends. They were able to fit me in, that was 7 years ago and I have never gone anywhere else since. Turns out they do a better job than any hairdresser I had ever been to before. They always seem to do my hair exactly the way I like it, and the colours are always exactly what I'm looking for. The prices are very reasonable and most importantly, the staff are really friendly and actually take the time to listen to exactly what their customers want.

Prices are higher than you would expect from a small-town, non-chain salon but there are no complaints and the staff are very professional and are happy to have a chat with you before you make an apppiontment.

We always joke that Carrickfergus is absolutely bursting at the rafters with two things, Beauty…read moreSalons, and Hair Salons. About Face has the privilege over many of the salons due to the length of time they have been around for. I can remember them being here for the last 10 years at least, and nearly everyone (female!) I know has had at least one treatment with them. They offer a wide range of treatments such as facials, makeup lessons, manicure, pedicure, overlays, extensions, weight loss treatments, kids parties, bridal makeup and makeup lessons, gift vouchers, spray tanning, the list goes on! A nice touch also, is that they remember all of their clients at Christmas time by sending out a card. I like About Face a lot, and it would still be the salon I would consider first, out of the many salons now open in town.

I love this Salon, it looks small from the front and could be missed but it is like Aladdins cave…read moreon the inside. They have an excellent range of treatments available, my favourites would be the spa pedicure or the back neck and shoulder massage. The treatment rooms are all lovely, clean, warm and extremely relaxing, I feel like I want to nap every visit. The massage beds are heated with lovely warm towels and blankets to keep you comfy. Perfect. The staff here are the most genuinely nice and friendly girls you could find whilst being totally professional. I love going here, would happily recommend it to anyone.

DO NOT go to this hairdressers. I have been in tears ever since I got my hair cut there. He…read morecompletely butchered my hair and i left looking like a scarecrow. He also charged £30 but uses tesco shampoo and conditioner and let his teenage assistant blowdry it by just blasting it all over and not even using a brush!! Even my friends and family are in shock at how much he has ruined my hair. I will make sure i let as many people as possible know about my awful experience. I now have to fork out £60 on clip in extensions in the hope of making it look slightly better.
