I started the process of having my hair highlighted at the age of 16. Twenty-three years later, I can safely say, I know a great job when I see one. I was fortunate enough to spend 10 years working on cruise ships, so had my hair done every 5 weeks in the big blow-out capital of the world - America and so many other diverse countries around the world it is impossible to mention all: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, Bermuda, Bahamas, Russia, The Caribbean.....giving me, I feel, the right to pass judgement.
I have been to KZ Shawlands six times, and I was blown away by the experience every single time. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what the girls do, but you walk out of there thinking: WOW
The colour is always three-dimensional and matches my skin tone perfectly. The cut leaves my hair with so much movement and body.
BUT, it is not only the colour and cut, it is the way they spend time with you initially asking so many questions about your hair: what you like about it, what you do not like about it, what you do with it, how much time you spend on it, how you wear it daily, what do you do when you go out....all the while lifting it, looking at the way it falls, analysing the texture. They are just honestly so interested in it.
They explain the process and double checks to make sure they know what you want. They call you by name throughout the entire procedure, while their funny/quirky banter with each other is a treat to listen to by itself. ..and the fact that they are all very easy on the eye is another plus!
Color - superb
Cut - more than I could have wished for
Listening to the young girl (who prev worked at Rainbow Room) washing my hair singing their praise, telling me enthusiastically how strict and rigid they are with her and how much she loves working with them because she never imagined they would spend so much time on training her and making her perfect at what she does- priceless.....and that says it all!
The best hairdressers I have been to by far. read more
