It shouldn’t be this hard work! I went to a very cheap salon for a while but you do get what you pay for. Having said that, I tried much more expensive places & haven’t really been that much happier. The last one cut it well but they are impossible to get hold of - take a couple of days to answer on FB & you get the answer machine every single time! I even offered to be a part time receptionist for them! Went to someone in their own home but she was disguising old fashioned/ slightly dodgy cuts with excellent blow drying. My daughter is booked into a salon neither of us has tried before so if they do a good job, I’ll make an appointment myself 🙂
