I highly recommend Restyled Salon. The girls there are brilliant. I have been going there over the years when it was Supercuts but was gutted I heard the chain had went into administration, eventually closing down all the shops, but was delighted when I heard the girls who worked there had taken it over.
They have kept to the same hours opening from Sunday to Saturday. It used to be a no need for an appointment, which they have kept going as many clients still thought they were Supercuts (who ran the no appointments required system).
I went into book my appointment as like many hadn't had a haircut in months due to the lockdown, to be honest, I think it was more a year and half for me. She remembered my hair, mainly as I have brightly coloured hair, which was great so she knew how I liked it.
When I went along I signed in for the track & trace, hand sanitised and wore my mask at all times. The staff wore their PPE protection including a face shield. The seats and areas were kept super clean. It's weird seeing cleaning bottles where it used to be mainly hairsprays and mouses. Instead of the hairdresser cape to cover you it was a see through plastic cape and they used cotton type towels instead of normal towels. The latter is just gentler on your hair.
The two staff were able to work and socially distance, due to the shop being quite spacious. It also has an open front due to being based in a shopping mall, so it was pretty airy. The other staff member could work on the opposite side as they have chairs and mirrors on both sides of the shop. So, there was another client having her hair done behind me.
It felt a comfortable experience despite all the Covid restrictions and guidelines. The girl did another excellent job of my hair and I look forward to going back when it's safe again to do so. read more
