The atmosphere was great and clearly they have a lot of regulars. Staff were very welcoming and nice. It's a bit rough around the edges and not your typical salon with a tatoo parlour up the stairs so did not feel luxurious but a fun place and great value.
The hairdresser, Amir, was excellent not just with the hair cut and blow dry but also with customer service and attention to detail. He is the only hair dresser I have come across who uses the hair dryer such that you don't feel any heat on your head but yet have a perfect blow dry! The only low point of my experience was the actual salon - it needs a face lift desperately!
