I've been looking for a new hairdresser, and have noticed Salon Scandinavia on my trips to…read moreHeadington, so, after a quick view of their website, I booked an appointment. The salon is bright and attractive, with a comfortable seating area to wait, and the offer of tea or coffee. Having my hair washed was a very pleasant experience, the chair/sink combination was actually comfortable, and a nice head massage thrown in. My hairdresser, Adam, listened attentively to what I wanted, explained what he was doing, and was friendly and just the right amount of chatty. I'm very pleased with my new cut. The salon wasn't busy when I was there, just one other customer, but I liked it very much and will be back. Price for a wash and cut was £27, more than I've spent before, but worth it.

Normally have to book a little in advance or give some notice on the day. Costs as of 2010, are somewhere around £18 and up.. Never disappointed with cuts.

I went to Alta Mode in approximately August 2009. I unfortunately have to say, it was one of the…read moreworst experiences of my life. I had long ish hair (several inches past my shoulders which took several years to grow) and I asked for long length layers to be put in. I even took a couple of photos with me to explain. Myself and the hairdresser sat down and we spoke through what I wanted for about five minutes. She appeared to understand completely what I wanted. I then went off to have my hair washed and then came back to the styling chair. The hairdresser (young girl) then began to hack away at my hair. She must have spent no more than 5 minutes cutting it before drying/straightening and then I had the gown taken off me as it was finished. She did not ask if I wanted it straightened, she just did it and told me I was to straight it every morning which is a big problem when I don't own straighteners, and either do I like my hair straight, my hair is naturally wavy which is how I like it. I glanced in the mirror after and I was so shocked and upset at the mess my hair was in. Firstly, it was nothing like the style I had asked for, and secondly, she has hacked off too much of my hair! I quickly paid and escaped out of the shop as I was close to crying. I got home to examine the style... I could not stop crying. The length of the layers I had asked for had only been down at the very bottom/back of my hair. The rest of it was short on top, so short in places that it was sticking up! Also she had ripped a lump one side of the head with a razor, and not only did it hurt for several days later, but it looked really really stange, like a big dent out of the side of my head where it was no longer than an inch, yet the hair around this patch was about three times longer. There was also no consistency with the layers, everywhere I pulled there were long bits and short bits. It wasn't even straight at the back and it was longer on one side than the other. Considering she cut it so fast and did not check the lengths, it was probably no surprise. Also there were many many errors in the cut... at the back she had missed a wedge of about 150 strands of hair that were at least twice as long as the rest. I spend the rest of the weekend crying and trying to tidy it up myself in the mirror. I contacted Alta Moda who basically told me to come back and they would sort it out. I refused stating the only way it could be sorted out is with hair extensions. It has taken several months and several trims later to get my hair to look like a decent style as it was in such a mess. I was extremely cross that my hair was long and there was a great opportunity to be cut into a very nice hairstyle (that I have to add I paid a lot of money for), but I ended up with a style I have had to frustratingly grow out for the next few months. I feel like I was treated with such disrespect from this hairdresser and from Alta Moda in Aylesbury. I had two other hairdressers examine my 'haircut' from this place and both of them said they could not believe what this hairdresser had done, and why she decided to do a completely different hairstyle to the one I wanted, especially when the style she did was so unsuitable for my hair type. So unfortunately, a very bad experience and I shall not be going there again, especially for that money!
