Just go somewhere else- anywhere. I had the same hairdresser, who has also become a friend, for the last 10 years. I hadn't been happy with the cut or colour for the last few years so I decided to take the plunge and go somewhere else. I was sooo happy when I got it done- so much better. I think a change is really good-some hairdressers get a bit blase. I have also found that the more expensive the salon the worse the haircut- and I have paid out a small fortune in the past. Ask around and get someone good.

I used to go to Toni and Guy, but the fantastic stylist I had left and the one I got next was really bad. My hair sound similar to yours. I'd ask for a bob and get one that was longer at the back and frankly crap. I now go to the local salon after asking a lady in a lift with a superb cut where she got her's done, think old ladies in hair dryers,nuns in the back room from the local convent and the local radio station on. I get the best cut ever and people always ask where I get my hair cut, best of all it's £19 for a wet cut and blow-dry.

Definitely ask around and don't be scared to go local.

Hmm, that Leticia Haute Coiffure has got some shockingly bad reviews. Think I'd expect a bit of bowing and scraping for West End prices.

I accidently booked on a day when my regular colourist wasn't workingWink. It really was accidental though.

It turned out to be a stroke of luck as I now have the hair that I always wanted. I tried to explain/express but it never seemed to get through.

ThatVikRinA22 · 21/12/2011 20:56
