Wrong color and argumentative hairdresser

Eve
6th Feb 2016
1.0

I'm absolutely unhappy with my color. It was supposed to be light brown (I've been told is mix of 7and 8) and turned up to be dark brown.
I called and been connected to the hairdresser who did my color (rather than manager) who argued the color was not dark brown and haven't suggested any help or advice except being very rude and argumentative! It gave me bad experience even though I was regular customer and surely I will never come back there again if the customer satisfaction doesn't mean anything at all! All I want now is money refund since I'm now stick with color I absolutely can't stand.

After having a very bad hair cut from a previous hair dresser. I was nervous about getting my hair cut again! But I had a great experience this time.
Jordan spent time with me, to make sure I had not only a brilliant experience but got a hair cut that works with my life style also would suit me. I'm really pleased with the results.

Hi
This was my first time to the Hitchin salon today.
My hair was in a bad way when I entered the salon, and in need of some tender loving care.
That's exactly what I received today with Jordan, she was very professional and gave some good advice.
I have booked to come back in 5 weeks and must say loved the massage chair when my hair was being washed.
A real treat thank you.

I am very impressed with the service I received. Having been with the same hair dressers for 25 years I was alittle nervous about the change.I have to say though that Jenny who styled my hair put me at ease straight away. She talked me through the pros and cons with regards to having different lengths applied to the hair style I wanted and which would suit me best. She certainly knows the art of crafting hair and left me with exactly what I wanted.

Great haircut by Chynna

My usual hairdresser at THE has moved on to a new salon so Chynna cut my hair for the first time, she was lovely and I was really pleased with the haircut. My only criticism would be the salon juniors were not particularly friendly and didn't smile once which made the atmosphere less enjoyable and my hair was washed by someone wearing latex gloves, I understand there would have been a reason for this like dermatitis etc but it felt like my hair was being pulled out whilst being washed and was rather painful.

I've been going to The Hairdressing Company for about 6 months now having just moved to the area. Finding a new hairdresser is one of the most stressful things a lady has to do - so I was delighted to find THC, as it's an Aveda salon and I'm a huge fan. As well as that, the salon is lovely and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. My new stylist is amazing, and I walk out feeling like a super-model every time I visit.

I've been going to the Hairdressing Company for 15 years and have had great haircuts and service there. I can't recommend them highly enough, especially Shazia and Wayne who are fantastic hairdressers. Aveda colours are great too. I am also grateful for the free fringe trim service between cuts. They always make you feel welcome and the relaxed and friendly atmosphere in both salons is a plus.

Great expertise of staff. Short staffed the day of my visit and staff found it difficult to attend to / give everyone undivided attention to their needs and schedules .
These things happen sometimes and because I know the staff it's quite ok by me, but somebody new might not be so accommodating. Just something to bear in mind.

It is always tricky trying out a new hairdresser. Will they understand my hair and my needs? Well, I needn't have worried at all. From the start, I was made to feel welcome and looked after. My hairdresser, Maggie instantly understood what I wanted and also added great suggestions that were oerfect. The massage chair while having my hair washed was an added bonus. The products used smell wonderful. The result - a very happy customer, who inmediately booked my next appointment. Thank you Maggie and thank you Hairdressing Company.

First visit to this hairdressers due to my usual hairdresser moving away.
Found online and was impressed from the initial phone call to them.
Welcome on the day was warm and friendly, Sarah (colourist) and Jenny (cut) both actually listened to what I wanted and delivered. They were professional and made me feel at ease and relaxed in their hands.
I can honestly say it was the best overall salon experience I have ever encountered; my colour is exactly what I had been after for a while and my cut was perfect.
So refreshing to finally find a salon like this. Even the decor and music were spot on!
Will definitely be recommending and returning..

My first time here, lovely staff, they really take care of you and make you feel comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxing too. Shazia did my wash and cut, and listened to what I wanted before she gave her own recommendations and that was really helpful and made me feel at ease. Happy with the result - for the first time in a long time - and this is definitely my go-to hairdressers from now on!

Just visited for half head of highlights and cut and finish and I am very happy with my hair. Sarah did the highlights and the colour is exactly what I asked for and very nicely done and natural looking. Maggie did my cut and did a lovely job as I have very thick hair and a lot of hairdressers don't understand how it needs to be cut to fall well. Everyone in the salon was genuinely friendly and I felt that I was properly listened to when discussing what I wanted and I got the result I was after. Reasonably priced, not at all rushed and a very nice salon. I will definitely return
