I recently went to see Ivy about getting a track weave put in. I'm not new to having a weave, or extensions and know the frustration that can be caused by bad hair. I talked to Ivy about what I wanted done and what she could offer; She was so happy to accommodate my every need - offering to open earlier to fit around my schedule and patiently answering my 100 questions about the type of hair she used and her practices. From what I gather she is a very competent, knowledgeable stylist who put me at ease.
I had a consultation in which we discussed the different options and I felt completely happy, secure and confident that I had chosen the right salon. I had planned to get my hair coloured before getting the extensions installed but Ivy informed me that they have a hairdresser there as well, and in fact that she is fully trained in styling and colouring but has no time due to the extensions. I was thinking about going to a nearby salon which had quoted a substantial amount for colouring my roots - but Ivy told me her hairdresser was only a fraction of the cost.
As I was made to feel so comfortable I decided to book in for my colour there and had it that day - The colourist Jo, knew exactly what I wanted when I started to explain and accommodated my fussiness of trying to get to the shade I wanted to match the extensions I'd like.
I am SO happy I decided to get my colour there. It is as good as, if not better than salon I usually go to, and I felt more welcome there than I do in most hairdressers.
I've booked in for my weave to be installed next week and hopefully it will continue to be a great experience. read more
