Really really great experience here thanks to stylist Amy!
Walked in, hair perfectly frizzy and wind blown, thanks to Glasgow's ever changing weather patterns, and even though I was a bit early, I was taken in straight away for a consultation and a nice head massage. I absolutely love Aveda salons because not only are their products plant derived and naturally made, their salons have high standards for their clients, and offer amazing side services like a free head massage.
Anyway, not having had my hair cut since before new years eve, I was looking pretty ratty. To be fair, it's mid cram time for exams, and I barely towel dry my hair in the morning before I'm rushing off to the library to study. Today was no exception. Amy and I discussed what I wanted done with my hair, she gave me some advice, and we came to the conclusion that in order to grow my hair out the way I want, she was going to take my current style (a grown out inverted bob) and shape it in a way that would eventually even out all the layers to start the long process of properly growing out my hair.
Hair shampooed and conditioned (with Aveda products obviously!), I sat back in the chair for some friendly banter and an amazing hair cut. Amy is super friendly and very knowledgeable, I felt like I was in capable hands, and had no worries whatsoever that she might sheer me bald or layer my fringe (what most hair stylists want to do first when they see me). We had loads to talk about from 24 being one of the best shows around, to how I met my boyfriend and the love story that is my every day life. It was a great wee chat.
Once it was all said and done, my hair was perfect. I've always wanted to find someone who could shape my hair to the style that I've seen in magazines a while back that I can never seem to get done to my hair, but I think Amy is a diamond in the rough as far as being able to properly cut my hair...and me actually love it!!
Checking out, I realised there was a Yelp deal (a tenner off services) and I also got the student discount. With all that savings, I thought it the perfect time to pick up some products to treat myself for once! I love Aveda products- my hair really responds to them and every one should start using them!
Westend hair, you surprised me! I've walked past you many times, and finally decided to give you a go, and I'm so glad I did. I've already recommended Amy to my friend Sophie K. and will continue to recommend her and Westend hair to everyone! read more
