Had another amazing cut and finish with Angelina (senior stylist) last night - she is the jewel in this salon's crown!
After a terrible experience with an over-confident hair colourist here in November (promised a colour transformation in one day without a strand test, switching between clients etc), and a receptionist who made me to pay upfront for a result that required colour correction the following week (I was so upset with the state and colour of my hair I just wanted to leave the salon so didn't quibble with the payment he requested which I should have), I nearly lost faith in Pierre Alexandre. This is a shame, as finding a good salon you trust in a new city is no mean feat...
Following November's colour correction incident, Angelina cut and styled my hair beautifully, and sent me home with a goodie bag full of samples for my misfortune. Having returned again last night (yes - it took me over 3 months to pluck up the courage to return to the 'dressers!), she invested extra time into giving me a complimentary deep condition (hair's been dry to say the least following last year's colouring incident!) and another fantastic cut and blowout.
The salon has a lovely vibe, the girls on reception are always pleasant and polite and it always seems like most of the stylists are attentive and skilled. It's in a great location if you're a city dweller and they offer last minute appointment discounts via their app which is great if, like me you work away a lot and only know a couple of days in advance whether you'll be available for an evening appointment after work - a fantastic selling point which not all other salons offer.
Second visit, and still as lovely. Great staff, great service (good cup of tea). The venue downstairs is looking a tad tired, but that doesn't detract from the experience.
