Sore head!

Anonymous
5th Dec 2016
3.0

I went to Box today for a full head tint and blow dry. Louise always does my colour
and she is always friendly, warm and professional. I am very happy with my colour.
I then had my hair washed and dried by *****, which I must confess was a bit like torture.
***** gave a very nice head massage but unfortunately she did also manage to pull my hair a lot while washing and rinsing!
During my blow dry my head was yanked to and fro as ***** grappled with the round brush as
It got stuck in my hair. She frequently bashed my head with the brush as well as scraped my ears and frankly it was almost unbearable.
This was definitely the kind of experience that would stop me returning to a hairdresser that I have used for a few years.

Grace made my hair from brunette to blonde ;)

Rachel the stylist was superb, she couldn't have done more. I would definitely recommend a visit to The Box. The quality of the cut, the bliss of the head massage and the best coffee going ...

Colour as a model

Anonymous
26th Nov 2016

This is my second visit to Box as a "colour model" on a really positive note the person who coloured and styled my hair is friendly, charming and easy going - however he is totally disorganised, forgetful, uncoordinated and with the best will in the world, clearly a square peg in a round hole. My root colour is far darker than I wanted and not the same shade at all as my first visit. Supervision was not as close this time and the fee schedule appears to be rather random depending on who is at the desk at the time. I do understand that the model rates are much cheaper than the full price, and that it will take a longer time to achieve the desired result, after all the stylists are still in training. Please do not take this as a criticism, merely constructive comments. The salon ethos overall is splendid and I shall return next time as a "full fare paying passenger"
