I read reviews here and on Google and was really looking forward to finding a salon that sounded…read morelike they really cared about their customers but I think I must have caught them on an off day and would not go back. The booking was easy, I got a Saturday afternoon appointment which is always a bonus, parking availability is good and I wasn't kept too long waiting before I was seen. The consultation seemed to be fine, but their stylist was dismissive of my thoughts and said that she would not cut it the way I asked as it would not turn out right. The lady washing my hair was quite rough and her attention was obviously elsewhere as the water when from cold to hot and back to cold again. My main concern was that although the stylist although chatty she came across as arrogant and did what she wanted to my hair and when it was finished, I was pretty disappointed. It was the opposite of what I had described, dull really ageing. I came out looking older than when I went in. Im sure that she isn't really arrogant, but confident in her abilities, but when my thoughts were dismissed it just looked I should be quiet and just let her get on with it. I should have probably challenged it there and then but I just wanted to get out and get home, I just wanted to cry and to see what I could salvage by styling it myself. I did have to visit another salon to have it re-cut. My overall impression is one of real disappointment, obviously there are many people who love this place, but my experience did not match up. I have to be honest and give my opinion and hopefully it is taken in the spirit in which it is meant.

I love coming here because my hair is always cut and styled beautifully, the staff are friendly and the service is excellent.

I've had a rocky relationship with Headmaster's. It's a nice place and feels very professional as…read moreit's a large chain of salon's in the UK. It's also in a convenient location in the town centre by the Broad street mall. I was first introduced to Headmaster's in London near Paddington station and had consistently amazing results with my colourist Thea. Yet, the branch in Reading leaves something to be desired. The staff have given me both great and terrible results. The worst being some highlights done last year which were so uneven and over-processed. They responded professionally when I went back and gave me a full refund and another colour on top in an attempt to make my hair look normal again. However, it hasn't been the same since and I've been searching for the best hairdresser in Reading for a while now. I wish I could have found someone there I would be happy to recommend but nothing yet. I don't completely hate headmaster's but I can't love them either because I don't know the staff there enough. So, my main recommendation would be to go with a senior stylist or colourist if you decide to go here. I put pricey because the last time I went I felt it was very inflated for what I got. However, you can get good deals if you use the student discounts and recommend a friend or birthday discounts.

They also have something called stand0by haircuts, where you can get haircuts at reduced rates if you turn up on the day itself if peple cancel their appointments. I had a cut and colour and i am very pleased with the results. My friends and family complimented me on how my haircut suits my face. :) th interview went really well btw :)

I love this salon and have been going for the past year. It's clean, they offer a selection of…read moredrinks and magazines, and give a mean head massage when they're washing your hair. I've been going to Amy for awhile now for my color and honestly don't trust anyone else (even in the salon - I've had/heard of a couple of less desirable visits with less experienced colorists). She's super sweet and really listens to what you like. I constantly have to move around my appointments because I'm either traveling or working, but they're very understanding but I always give them at least a week's notice. They have amazing deals: - "Me day Mondays" get you a full head of highlights, cut, and color for £99, - color sale: 50% off any color treatment with any stylist (but fine print is that they charge you for a blowdry if you don't get a cut along with your color) - standby appointments: call up to a few hours before you want to get your hair cut and they'll do it for £28 (womens), but you don't really get to choose a stylist. If you're not picky, that's a great deal. Used to be £25. Oh well. - Random other deals, check the website! If you're going for just a cut, any stylist in the salon is great. If you're going for complicated color or if you have difficult hair to dye, ask for Amy. She's pricey, but so worth it!

I've been here several times, with varying results. I have short hair, and some of the stylists…read moredon't have any idea how to trim short hair on a woman. But other cuts have been amazing. Sometimes they charge £25, sometimes £40. The employees are all very sweet, they bring me tea and a ton of magazines to read. And the shampooing stations have massage chairs, so you get a bit of a back rub too. It's biggest positive is its location; there aren't a lot of good salons near Imperial Wharf without going over to Chelsea.

This review is for the new Strand branch…read more Clean and funky looking, this salon has an especially nice hair washing area with coloured mood lighting. I was offered the usual drink and magazines, but agree with Michelle T that the junior staff were pretty robotic. I never pay much to have my hair cut, and I consider £50 far too much for a wash and trim, but if you quote 'online 50% off', it's a good deal. I was going to give an 'a-ok' review, but reading Michelle's reminded me that I too got a different haircut to the one I asked for, and that although it worked out well for me, that is not actually a fine way to run a hairdressing business. Because I left with half price snazzy hair I just smiled to myself at the stylist's arrogance, but thinking about it, how dare he make it up as he went along, without consulting me! Also, the receptionist was pretty pushy about trying to make me sign up to a loyalty card, and looked at me as if my refusal (which I had to give 3 times) was weird. I was not impressed that they used my mobile number, given to secure the booking, to subsequently bombard me with marketing texts. So, as long as you are up for a surprise, go here for the 50% off deal. Otherwise, it's just an expensive central London chain, which I suspect is only of any real interest/use to people who work nearby.
