I also was very pleased with the results. I had the £39 Groupon voucher and I came out with exactly what I wanted - a great cut and great colour!! OK so its not the most luxurious of salons but i felt relaxed and i came out happy with my hair - wish i think is quite hard to find these days! I also got a drink straight away, didn't have to wait and a whole bunch of new magazines as well as not having to make small talk.
One of the best salon experiences I've had... For me, going to the hairdresser is how the average Jo feels about going to the dentist, or how your dog feels about going to the vet. I despise it, having always felt that they don't listen to you and do what they 'think' suits you rather than what you want. I feel like they talk too much... especially whilst cutting! I dislike the small talk you have to make and how you feel awkward sharing details about your life whilst the stranger getting their hair done next to you listens in. I was throroughly delighted when I walked into this ever-so-chilled place, playing great music, the hairdressers didn't give you that up-and-down-I'm better-than-you look, instead were rather helpful and polite (somewhat rare these days). My hairdresser (wish I remembered her name), a Latvian lady, listen and gave me exactly what I wanted. Concentrated whilst cutting my hair. I was very happy with the service and results - would go here again for sure!
I wish i'd read all the terrible allinlondon.co.uk reviews before i wasted my money going to Backstage LA! I purchased a £39 cut + colour voucher from Groupon + was utterly disappointed with this salon. Essentially it's a small, untidy, unprofessional salon where the staff just aren't any good. I explained very clearly what i wanted + brought pictures along to my appointment. All i wanted was a neatened up version of what i already had but still got pretty much the opposite of what i asked for! During the appointment i even stopped the 'stylist' + reiterated what i wanted but she still carried on insisting that i "trust" her. Shocking. Also the mirror i was sat in front of, + the next one over, was resting on a plastic box, there were tufts of hair all over the floor at 10am, I had to ask for a magazine + a drink (which came half empty?!), i got moved 4 times as there were too many customers for styling chairs, they couldn't find any straighteners, the receptionist was washing hair, my hairdresser then ended up answering phonecalls + sorting out the card machine during my colour. A lady walked in off the street + asked for a blowdry + they didn't understand what she meant!! I think that says it all really! Please don't go here.
