A review of Absolut Hair by Gillian written on Friday 31st of October 2008
Having been to countless hairdressers since moving to Glasgow I was so relieved to find a hairdresser I would actually go back to!
I have been to a few of the big salons, and I wont mention any names, but the ones who have fancy chairs that elevate your feet, that offer you different drinks - wine, smoothies. Ones that are decorated by most likely the most expensive interior designer. But I have come out with a hairstyle which is at best OK, with either the colour being disappointing, or the cut not being quite what I had hoped for, or both. While I have never had a hair disaster, I have had plenty of disappointments. All for a cost of around £120! And one salon in particular left me sitting downstairs for about 30 minutes with no
So what is different about Absolut Hair? Well the price to start with. For a cut and colour I usually pay around £120. At Absolut I was £70. Ok so I didn't get a glass of wine, but who wants a wine at the hairdresser? And the seats weren't fancy at the sinks, but so what? All of that rubbish is reflected in the price, and it only matters to people who want to brag about which hairdresser they go to.
The cut was brilliant. I took in the picture that I have taken to 2 other hairdressers, and Stacie at Absolut has done a wonderful job. All other hairdressers basically gave me a choppy bob, but Stacie has done wonders with my hair, and I look totally great (even if I do say so myself).
The colour is great. Most hairdressers I go to, give me like a semi permenant and fashion colour that you can hardly see as my hair is so dark. But Stacie recommended that I get a permenant all over colour, as the semi permenant doesn't cover all the grey and washes out quickly. I am so chuffed she gave me proper colour advice rather than just suggesting probably the generic rubbish I have been getting from other hairdressers.
I am so please with my cut I will be going back again..
