Gro

Staff are very warm and friendly and Paco is an exceptional technician.

Nice atmosphere, didn’t feel rushed at all. They made me feel relaxed when I entered, got me a coffee and everyone was friendly. Haircut was good as well took a bit more off then I asked for, but I was happy with it. I had Lalo who was friendly and nice.

My hair was in desperate need of some maintenance, so today I headed over to the newly-​opened Gro salon in Vauxhall. Although the staff said that the site isn’t completely finished yet, the salon is gorgeous. Very cool, very funky, not at all pretentious like some salons can be.
The staff were very friendly — I had Tan doing my hair, who was lovely. He gave me advice on how to get my hair into better condition (it’s very dry) and said that the lighting made me look gorgeous (bit random, but I’ll take it!).
My hair looks so much better and feels great. I’m really happy with the service there. They offered me drinks, there were loads of magazines for me to keep myself occupied while Tan got to work, and I loved the fact that I was sat at a table during it. That’s right — instead of being sat in front of the mirror like one usually is, I was sat at a large table (kind of like a dining table) with magazines on, so I could chat to the other people who were also sat there having treatments.
The only critique I would have of this salon is that it’s a little hard to find — it’s on a building estate full of offices/​coffee shops called ‘St George Wharf’ and it can be hard to navigate. The easiest thing to do when you come out of Vauxhall station is cross the road to the building estate, turn left, and it’s just before you reach the Tesco.
I’ll be going back, even if it’s just to shamelessly court compliments from the staff
