I would definitely recommend this salon for friendliness & value for money. The staff are very friendly, puts you at easy & offer a range of great treatments.
The staff were very friendly. The treatment was good but my hair didn't feel as well conditioned as I was hoping.
I wanted a curly/bouncy blow dry, the hairdresser seemed unsure of how to make my hair have curls. She was blow drying my hair straight, then attempting to curl it dry. Which obviously was not working, after doing a section she just kept saying “your hair isn’t holding”. I had to explain to her that she needed to blow dry it whilst curling it, not after it’s dry and straight. So then she attempted this, however I don’t think she’s had much experience with doing a curly blow dry. It still wasn’t curling due to her technique, and was using large clips to pin it whilst continuing with the rest, which then left clip kinks in my hair. My hair was being curled inwards rather than out, I had to explain my fringe needs to be curled outwards. I asked for a roller to be used for my fringe, apparently they didn’t have any... Just to top it off in order to try and make my hair look like I had just had it done, I had to twirl my hair round and have hairspray sprayed to try and maintain the curl... she sprayed so much so close I had to brush it out of my hair, it was dry and knotted! To end this, it took an hour and half for this (should have been 45 minutes) and I had to pay full price... even though she was clearly embarrassed and apologised saying my hair doesn’t hold curls. However I have had curly/bouncy blow drys loads of times and never been disappointed, especially to this extent! Honestly felt like she had no training, and was literally expecting me to be paying £30 for her to wash and dry my hair, how I would at home. After all this I had to go home re do my fringe with a roller and twirl my hair and clip it with pins just to have some curls. Overall extremely disappointed. Would not recommend if you want your hair done for a night out/celebration.
I had a blowdry at this salon and would rate it average
I had a great cut at Bella. The stylist was very attentive to my requests and I'm really happy with the outcome. It was just a bit quiet the day I went, would highly recommend more people to book here.
