Sandra Dorne is a hairdressers that has been in Kingstanding for years, recently moving up to the…read moreHawthorn shopping area from College Road. I have had my hair done here a couple of times but usually just take the kids' up for their trims because I've never been keen on the end result that I've been left with. For a start I find this hairdressers is always full of pensioners, now I've nothing against pensioners of course but I don't particularly want to be surrounded by the blue rinse brigade when I'm going for a funky new look. Then the hairdresser will always try to talk me out of whatever I want to the point where I have to watch her like a hawk as she's cutting as I'm worried to death she's going to experiment on me! The end result is never how I really wanted my hair to look, although this is never completely apparent until I have paid and got home! The girls' in Sandra Dorne are all lovely, and I think it's this which puts me off complaining really because it's obvious they've done their best but are just more comfortable applying poodle perms to old ladies! When I take my daughters' in it's simply for a trim and to get their fringes cut and this is always perfect, they never take off more than they should and even managed to hold my baby daughter down for a quick cut when she was just 13 months old and almost blinded by her fringe. Prices are very reasonable and Sandra Dorne often require models for the student hairdressers to work on. I've never done this myself but a friend of mine had her hair coloured by the student and she did a really good job, with the salon owner watching her all the time so there were no mistakes made. You'll always be offered a cup of tea or coffee while waiting for your appointment, and another during your cut which is nice as the hairdressers I go to now doesn't even offer one drink so if I'm in for a two hour appointment then it's a thirsty time!

Looking for a barber? Jav's has got to be top of the list when it comes to men's hair dressing…read more I've been using Jav to cut my hair on a weekly basis for the past decade. Jav, originally from Pakistan, trained as a hair dresser in Holland before moving to the UK twenty-years ago. Jav specialises in Asian, European and Afro-caribbean hair using a combination of scissors and hair clippers to create a smooth, smart, precise finish. I always go for the traditional short back & sides costing just £6.00. Jav skillfully completes the job in around ten minutes whilst chatting about the latest news, politics and the state of society. Jav's is a popular place with a steady stream of characterful customers throughout the day Monday to Saturday from 9.00am to 7.00pm. Jav also offers a home visit service for the very young or people unable to make it to the salon for whatever reason. Jav also offers a Cutthroat shave service and I've often watched in ore of the skill with which he removes facial hair in a traditional way, quite a talent. Pay him a visit, tell him Ash sent you.

BEST SALON IN BRUM BY A MILE!!! Astral Bodies in Great Barr…read moreisn't just your average high street salon. It's cooler, chicer and unbelievably more affordable too! This place caters for everyone guys, gals, kiddies, young, old, glamour pusses, the more conservative and the more cutting edge. Decor-wise it's trendy, minimalist and, above all, immaculate. In short, it's a place that as soon as you walk in instantly inspires confidence. You know you're going to walk out of here looking and feeling great! The ambience in the hairdressing section is funky, the mood and music young and upbeat. On my first visit I'd booked in for two appointments with the first being a wash, blow dry and style with head stylist Liann. This girl is at the top of her trade and I would recommend entrusting your hair in her hands to anyone! After all, she manages to tease my lank, lifeless locks into beautiful, bouncy curls with a gorgeous golden sheen. And that's no mean feat believe me! You'll never go thirsty or bored here. Refreshments are on tap throughout the whole process as is the friendly and personal service. Having your hair done here feels more like having a cuppa and a chat with friends! The second appointment I'd booked in for was a Swedish massage with head beauty therapist Laura McKay. The treatment area which adjoins the hair salon area has a blissfully tranquil and calming vibe. A perfect refuge for the tense, stressed out, shattered or heavily hungover amongst us and let's face it that's most of us, most of the time! I can quite unequivocally say I was thrilled with the results! Laura clearly knows her stuff and is keen to share her expertise as she asked me many questions on skincare, lifestyle, diet, moods and sleep patterns. She was immediately able to highlight one of my major problems digestion (I suffer from bloatedness and slight indigestion). The treatment began with an all-over body brush to exfoliate and boost circulation. This was followed by a heavenly massage a mixture of lymph drainage and conventional Swedish using essential sweet-smelling oils and wonderful hands-on manipulation. The treatment focused on increasing oxygen flow in the blood whilst relasing toxins from the muscles and was a pure pampering as well as therapeutic experience! I would wholeheartedly recommend it! My brilliant therapist was able to pummel away all the tension and discomfort in my tight muscles leaving me, as well as my skin, feeling wonderfully rejuvenated. More to the point, the cramps, bloatedness and general feeling of discomfort in my stomach more or less disappeared. AND the dreaded dimply area around the top of my thighs looked less conspicuous! Definitely worth returning for that alone! At the end, I was left to relax and reflect for ten minutes in a lovely warm towel with a revitalising cup of peppermint tea and an overwhelming feeling of calm. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. At just £35, for a full hour of relaxation and reinvigoration, and just £25 to have hair like a (blonde) Cheryl Cole, I certainly didn't break the bank and felt the benefits for a long time afterwards.

All of the staff are fun, bubbly and have a story to tell (which you'll probably hear if you're in the chair longer than 10 minutes). The prices are incredible and I have never had a less than perfect hairdo after visiting. I have had everything from full head dye's (black to red), to leopard print in the sides, streaks and various funky short looks as styled by Debbie. Especially handy if you're at the Uni, but if you're ever down this way - give them a go. Worth a trip out of town.
