I have been going to Crown to have my hair done for a couple of years now. Sharon is one of the…read moreabsolute best stylists I have ever been to--and I have been to many in my fifty odd years. She stays current on hair care products and is able to discuss with all of her customers their needs and wants for personal care. I find her friendly, professional, and courteous. Often I am offered a cup of tea, bottle or water, or other refreshment as I have my hair done, etc. To top it all off, no one I have met can beat the terrific head massage you get with each and every shampoo! Sharon gets my highest recommendation!

What took away…read morefrom this experience is the receptionist seemed to not really be interested in me, only on regular customers so this was a bit off putting. End the day I was also paying for the service and experience but hey ho. Another negative is they only offer cuts for certain hair types, I had asked for my daughter who has tight coils and they couldn't offer a service or suggestions. In this day and age would think they would offer a service for more diverse population. Sadly not!

When you have a bad haircut, life is a daily struggle. You have to wake up every day and fool with…read moreit until it looks tolerable to you. When you have a good haircut, it's one less thing. The moral here is: a good haircut is always worth it, not only because it makes you look better, but because it can take 15 - 20 minutes off your morning routine. And that is just worth it. 15 - 20 minutes of extra sleep? Sign me up. I hadn't had my hair cut since coming to the UK from the States for grad school, so when I realized I could no longer just ignore my hair situation, I yelped and found Scruff's. Good reviews, I thought, and a handy pricing system: slightly less experienced (but still very well trained) stylists will wash, condition, massage, cut and blowdry your hair for a very reasonable 30 pounds. This pricing level is the 'graduate' level because the stylists are more recent graduates of Scruff's training program, though it subtly appeals to Cambridge's glut of graduates who are a bit short on funds, too. Not knowing anybody at the salon, I asked for first available, and got Abi. A quick rundown: before the scissors came out, she sat down and talked with me about what I wanted. She was always extremely helpful and clear about options, from the shampoo and conditioner she used to the cut itself to the blowdried style. She was very, very communicative and friendly. In fact, the whole staff was quite friendly. You won't be dehydrated at Scruff's, nor will you deal with the unwieldy burden of your coat and scarf. Scruff's is nicely decorated (I was so happy not to be in the weird yogic decor idiom so often seen in US salons) and extremely clean. Even at 10 am on a Thursday, the place was hopping, and most of the clientele seemed to have a very good, friendly rapport with the stylists. I'm guessing they have a lot of regulars, which is always a good sign. On that note: call and schedule an appointment; walk-ins are probably a no-go. It's a paradox in life that there's often less to say about excellence than failure, so I'll be brief: Abi gave me a very, very good haircut. I've had my hair some 23 years, and some cuts have been good, and others have been bad. This one was among the very best. Do give Scruff's a try. I'll be heading back.

I've never been disappointed with the Wacky Hair Company - it's a pretty safe bet if you want a trendy haircut or colour by professional staff. Their prices aren't cheap - although pretty reasonable by Cambridge standards - but if you're feeling the pinch, you can always go for a cheap cut at their model nights - and as their students are very well trained and supervised, there are no nasty surprises at the end!

The experience was lovely with a refreshments in china tea set with fruit and biscuits, they treated their clients exceptionally well and was cared for consistently (not rushed out the door either)! After going through all my colour choices and different options I could have, I felt reassured I was in safe hands and was always asked questions and given advice before going ahead with anything, although the phone kept ringing often, I did have to wait a while before the lady ressumed to my hair, I can't complain! My afternoon was pleasant both for the experience and result! Before I left I bought some Moroccan oil shampoo and treatment oil which is out of this world and definitely will be returning for some more! 5 stars, no question about it!

First impressions: the décor was warm and exotic and the staff were friendly and attentive. I was quickly offered a drink then led into a room to begin the treatments. Following the very thorough salt scrub, the massage took around an hour and a half, maybe a bit less, and was AMAZING. I hadn't realised it would be full-body but the masseuse (Katie) covered head to toe. The face and back massages were particularly good. I left feeling completely destressed and very happy. Will be recommending to my friends.
