Essensuals

Let’s get this clear. I loathe having my hair cut. No really, I don’t just mean ugh, hate doing it I actually get really stressed and the knuckles go white as I’m sat in the chair! I’m never happy with the finished result (too short, too voluminous… well maybe I’m just fussy!) and I find the chaotic salons with their über trendy staff too much to stomach.
So, having left it 12 weeks I was in dire need of a haircut, and finding somewhere to have it! Thought I’d give this place another go, hadn’t been there for years. Phoned in the morning and got an evening appointment (wouldn’t expect them to be too busy on a Tuesday anyway so that was no surprise) and was given an appointment with a ‘première stylist’ (why do they have all these confusing levels!) at £47 (prices starts from £37 for a cut and blow dry).
To cut a long story short the reception was cheery. The stylist less so but to be honest after a long day at work I don’t particularly want to talk about the holidays I’m not having this year so was glad to be given magazines to read. Was offered a complimentary drink from a quite extensive menu (which includes beer and wine — my how things have changed!) and in no time the hair was looking neat and tidy AND exactly how I’d asked it to be: D
I’ll hang on to the card for this one and give it another go in about oh… eight weeks… maybe nine…
