And as you may be aware from my former Mufti review, I badgered a friend of mine into visiting them. I booked myself an appointment for Saturday with very high expectations, and they were met gallantly. Mufti is cool, there's no denying it. It's in the Northern Quarter for starters, it's run by guys, the music is unbelievably mellow and lovely and it's simple, clean and relaxing. They had me at the film magazines by the sofa. You might not be able to pick a hairdo from them but you can read through which films should have been TV shows. Agreed, journalists! Empire Records should SO have been a series, as should Watchmen. Ahem, where was I. Not that I'm leaving Salvation (http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/salvation-hair-ltd-salford#hrid:iRY12h4CSS4gugZ1e-S2Pg), it just feels a little weird to walk in there without Alex, but I was more than intrigued to see what Mufti could do with my stupid hair type. Over the years I've tried and failed to make it more manageable, the only thing that really worked for me was a pixie cut. Now I've ill-advisedly grown it long again and its natural wave and supposed 'thinness but lots of it' have got the better of me. Hair, meet Karl, a genius, a lovely guy who washed my hair himself without getting some floor sweeper to do it and asked me questions about my hair routine throughout. I think he could tell from the clobber that I'm something of a vintage junkie, and my resulting style reflected that. A snip, a tweak, some conversations about Alex (he knew him very vaguely), advice on hair products and a confirmation that my hair is indeed thick (take THAT, Headmasters) and that short layers are fooling me into thinking my hair's manageable later, I looked in the mirror and was greeted with a silky head of waves worthy of a 40s movie star. I'm a convert.

Turns out they don't let just about anybody off the street do it, the students are all well practised and some just at the turning point where the cut would of cost you £50. My hair was very pleased and I've been somewhat of a regular since. Once there was too many students and I ended up getting my haircut by a teacher, so essentially got a hundred pound haircut. My hair was over the moon that time. Yours might be too?

The business in a small salon in Tib St started in 2005. At the time I worked in Tib St myself and visited it a lot, and we've been nodding since. And it still took me until 2009 to visit his salon, but the result was impressive: I had the best haircut in years. What is noticeable is that they have managed to assemble a good clientele. Needless to say, this didn't happen overnight, but every time I go past the salon it is crowded, which in itself is a good proof that Olivier Morosini does a very good job at making Manchester women look and feel beautiful in their hair.

Even she would have been impressed with Natalie's attention to detail, precision, and the care she put into every step of the haircut.

If you're looking for someone who genuinely takes pride in their work and pays attention to the little details that make a big difference, I highly recommend asking for Natalie. I'll definitely be back!

SuperCuts is one of those companies, which surprises me with its' level of success, being a barber…read moreshop which has gone international, it has over 2,000 stores in the US alone. I always have found Supercuts to be a little expensive, charging £14.95 for a dry cut but for a city center, it is reasonable, especially considering my local barber at Kim-Creative was out, and she normally charges that anyway. The woman who served me was quite quick, and got me seated straight away. I told her about my past luck with barbers and she told me to let her know if she caught me, which was kind, and she also tried to have it as quick as possible, while also trying to make it "still look good" It is quite a nice salon in general, but is near enough the typical Supercuts layout. This SuperCuts is in a good location in the Manchester Arndale, and can be found on the top floor fairly close to Currys PC World and The Food Court. She got my haircut done quickly, and she done a good job of it too, for me to actually get numerous compliments, she tried her best not to "catch" me with the blades, as they normally seem to do, although she did catch me a few times. She also didn't soak my head in water, like the flooding of The River Thames, as I've had before which also shown that she was actually qualified. This was my first time in SuperCuts, and I was very pleased so I'm happy to award 3 stars, which is right on the brink of a 4 star review, which will be awarded if my 2nd visit maintains this standard, and I don't suffer from "2nd visit blues" as I have had at Jack Edward in Middleton, Mad Luck in Rochdale and various other barbers, so I do want to make sure a 4 star rating is deserved first. UPDATE: Due to huge inconsistencies in service from different members of staff, which could include treatments such as shaves to sometimes be denied or accepted and priced anywhere between £3.95 and £5.95, while also considering this and the quality of the finished cut and the service from certain staff members, it's hard to even know what you're getting from Supercuts anymore, and that's if you ever do get it, and the price you're getting it for, so sadly this has become much poorer recently and warrants a single one-star rating, I'm sorry to report. Being unable to make appointments and the fact you have to sit in for wait, where even one could be expected to wait an hour for a treatment expected to last 1/10 of that time is ridiculously stupid.

The stylist I had was Lauren and she took the time to do a proper consultation and give recommendations on style and colour. She also did a fantastic job with my highlights and colour, and got rid off all the black roots and brassy yellow on the lengths of my hair. I liked the way she packed the highlights tight and to the very root, so my pink colour came out beautifully. The staff are all very friendly, and the salon is very clean. MT is probably the best salon I have ever been too, as many salons I have been to before just never get my colour right like here. They are very popular though, so it's best book a few weeks in advance.

Once when I 'modelled' for a branch of Vidal Sassoon they somehow managed to make me look middle aged. Moi, who regularly gets ID'd for paracetemol. But at Razor's Edge, those few extra pennies really do seem to go a long way. The staff treat you like minor royalty; you know where you are and who is looking after you at all times and they treat you like an individual. I have been a few times and one that sticks out is when I went for a blow dry before a birthday party. My birthday party. We all know how important it is to look good when you are the one throwing the bash. So, my hair stylist was funny and chatty. Quite a lot of naughty talk actually about his wife, when I thought that he was gay - mystery. He recommended dying my hair a shade darker and showed me where it needed to be cut next time and why. My hair stayed perfect for most of the night which is more than I can say for other occasions and other hairdressers... Razor's Edge is without a doubt where I'm going for my next hair appointment. If only I was a student as they do a discount Monday to Thursday.

My favourite stylist at Denny has moved on to bigger and better (and more expensive) pastures, so what's a girl to do? I booked in to Razors Edge for a Saturday and headed down for my appointment. Unfortunately, my stylist was running 30-45 minutes late. If they can text to remind you about your appointment, can't they do the same for any delays? Although I enjoyed the time to wander around town, I was there for my hair! The overall experience was much the same as last time. Lots of chatting between stylists, plenty of regulars, and then those of us who are between exploring new places and actually just mourning the loss of our last favourite. I was happy with the overall cut, though I did have to trim a certain section myself - not easy- due to the difference in the way I style my hair and the way she parted it on the day. The price continues to be a real stickler for me and I'll continue my search for the perfect balance between amazing hair and cheap cheap prices.

You will be guaranteed great service and a nice chat with styles that are upto date with latest trends and fit your personal requirements. They always have local students studying and getting experience of working in a salon so they even give back to the community and help up and coming stylists.

I arrived for my appt and was given one of their robes and was offered coffee. Carmen and I discussed my hair and what I wanted. As well as what I usually get done to it. She took her time washing it and making sure it was squeaky clean as well as added a little scalp massage. Then she went to work with the blow dryer, straightener while using some non heavy oils while I sat there and drank my coffee while chatting with my friends in NYC. It was a great experience overall. She didn't rush me and did an amazing job. Def worth 5 stars.

As regular readers of my reviews will know, I'm with Jonny Q and Michael B on this one, I hate having my haircut done and hate the awkwardness of chit-chat with my barber, and just want to get in and out of a place, with minimal effort, this place is right by Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter, opposite the Old Koffeepot on the corner of Hilton Street. It is quite a nice place, and it charges £10 for a haircut which isn't bad considering I'm used to paying £15 at Supercuts and Kim-Creative.Com in the Arndale. The barber was nice enough, he wasn't as friendly as I've seen before at the other places listed above, but he did do a quick haircut, upon request at 6 minutes. Overall, the haircut was okay until he used the scissors, it felt like he went on for hours, being really heavy handed, cutting big chunks of hair with the scissors, and then banging the comb on my head near enough every-time, which shown hints of aggression and perhaps it being too rushed, this probably felt like the longest part of my haircut, even though looking back it was probably nothing more than 1/3 of the time taken, but if you would of told me that part of the haircut, took double what the whole haircut taken, I would have believe you. I got a decent haircut as well, which was much better than other cuts I have had before, but perhaps still not as good as Supercuts in the Manchester Arndale. It is also open on a Sunday between 12 and 6pm which is handy, and when I visited, it didn't seem really busy and I got seated and my haircut straight away. I noticed they did have a few newspapers on the table for people to look at while waiting. My search for a barbershop has been a long one, I've devoted a long list to find one on Yelp, I hope now my search is over. I hope this place doesn't suffer with "Second-time barber blues", I continue to get a lot so for now, I feel it only deserves a 3. UPDATE: I now feel Cornershop deserves a single one star rating mainly down to a huge decline in service and the overall finished haircut of late, the fact they don't do appointments and often leave you waiting with the staff not seeming overly friendly makes the situation worse also.

But for no more - yesterday at the Barbers on Stevenson square opposite Koffee pot, I was in and out within 20 minutes, loved my new haircut and it only cost me £10. All the guys working there were pretty friendly and up for a chat about the local bar scene and that suits me just fine. If you're after a quick cut, walk in service then this place is just for you.
