Hi and Good Day to all staff and ownership: I am writing a review of a great place-I had my beard trimmed by a lady named Mary-She always takes her time and, does a great job of both my beard and, other areas of my face. I am glad to go to Mankind Grooming where I always a enjoy a beard trim from a great team with lots of class. Keep up the great work AJ, Anca and, Team!!. I always enjoy a beard trim from a classy team of people and, get my money's worth-it also pays when they treat me with respect as do the customers'. read more

Amazing! That word sums it all up nicely. This was my first trip to any sort of male-oriented salon. Their description, "Grooming studio for men" is a nice tight way of saying "Come hang out in our man cave and get your hair cut". I didn't know what to expect walking into this place, but I was thoroughly blown away. The waiting area looks like the ultimate man's living room. The receptionist offered to take my jacket and make myself at home. There's a leather sofa, a coffee table with some manly magazines on it, a giant flat-screen TV playing sports with also a PS3 hoked up, and a bar. Yes a bar. That bar is used for them to offer you a drink from which is included in the "Alpha Male" service package. When it's your turn, the stylist takes you over to a chair and you have a quick consultation about what you'd like done. After that you're over to a station where you wash your hands and they do a paraffin wax hand dip. Next, the stylist will get you seated at the sink. You get a quick facial rub down and you're face is wrapped in a hot towel. While your face and hands are basking in the warmth you get your hair washed and scalp massaged. Once this is all complete it's on to the cut. The cut was the most attention my hair has ever gotten in my entire life. My hair is pretty short, so it mostly involves clippers to get it cut. I'm not sure how many different guards she used but she sure made sure everything was blended perfectly. Best haircut I've ever had. The Alpha Male service is $45 before tax and tip which is extremely reasonable in my opinion for everything you get. I highly recommend this place to any guy or ladies, this would make a great gift for a man in your life. Nov 30-day challenge 15/30 read more

Mankind Grooming Studio For Men - Waxing Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Here was a place I really enjoyed visiting for a number of reasons. For the most part, it's because of my hair stylist started working at this new "Studio Grooming for Men" I have been with her for over 7 years and, although there are only 2 other places she has worked, I felt the most at ease showing up at this place for the first time. They have an old meets new feel to the place without making you feel at home. What I got out of this place is a new idea that really works for people like me. By this I mean that I like the whole grooming part of getting a haircut which I'm not afraid to admit as long as it's from a place like Mankind. Now, I'm not quite sure if I'll use all their services, yet they offer a few extras that I enjoy such as a hand/wax treatment while you get your cut and a hot towel that is incredibly relaxing. Another nice touch is the drink they offer you on the way in. They have a 65" screen TV which is hooked up to a Playstation which makes this place so chill. They also offer things like men's manicures "The Man Hands", massage table "Feeling Kneady" in a quiet room area but the coolest thing that I haven't seen since my grandfather used to take me to his barber is their straight blade shave. this place doesn't smell like chemical products nor is there a thousand people running around chaotically. One feature that I thought was great was the TV's at every grooming station so that you don't miss the game or whatever... There prices were all on their website so there were no surprises and I thought they were great value. A place to check out, for sure. read more

Mankind Grooming Studio For Men - Waxing Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Due to my profession I can find myself traveling for long periods of time. Sometimes a haircut is required while on the road. This place was right near the top of Yelps list of suggested Mens Salons. Upon entering, I was greeted with a smile, and as a walk in only had to wait about 15 minutes to get a cut. The front lounge was quite comfortable and there was an extremely large TV with sports on. When my stylist came to greet me and take me to her station, I began to describe the trim I was after. For some time now I have been looking for something new and really like input from the stylist about what they would suggest. A strong factor that does not give this Salon a 5 star rating is the fact they had absolutely not books of sample haircuts. This is the first time I have asked if they have a book of sample cuts and was told "no we don't". As a male, we only have a few real options for cuts, and seeing what you can be offered on a book seems like a pretty basic thing a salon for men should have. The cut that I left with was absolutely to my satisfaction, although it didn't offer that "new look" I've been searching for. If you are wanting something special changed about your hair or are looking for something extremely specific, make sure to show up with your own pictures. I was also impressed with the amount of detail the stylist paid to cleaning up any remaining hairs lingering around on my neck. read more

Hi I am writing a review of Mankind. I had a beard trim all the time and everyone from the other down to the barber is great. I have nothing but positive comments about Mankind. The owner and all staff are polite and I always get great service and a great beard trim. I am glad that they provide great service and my beard trim always looks Professional being done by a skilled person. Keep up the great work!! read more

I needed a hair cut, occasionally this happens to me, perhaps you can relate. I came across this place and was intrigued by the "Grooming Studio for Men". I'm a man, sorta, and I have a vague idea of what grooming entails and what a "studio" is. So all of these things combined just seemed to click for me and I went straight away. I love the atmosphere, very guy-centric. Not that I'm entirely sure what that means (*see "sorta" above), but this is what the movies have led me to believe and exactly what I was expecting, so I was quite pleased. Basically among other things there's a couch, with a big screen TV, playing sports. Now I don't watch sports, but I sure felt manlier. The hair cut itself didn't make me feel any manlier unfortunately, but my hairstylist did a great job which is good. Having my hands dipped in paraffin wax definitely made me feel less manly, but it was also kinda cool, so that's good too. And who doesn't love a hot towel on their face? A little more expensive then I'm used too but it was a great overall experience and I would recommend giving this place a try, you know, if you're a guy. read more

I have no problem paying more for higher quality goods and services. There's some things that are really worth a higher price. At Mankind, I paid about twice what I can pay for a really good haircut at a few other places in Toronto, outside the downtown core. So, what am I paying extra for at Mankind? They include a paraffin wax treatment, which is nice, but I probably wouldn't really feel like I need every time I get my hair cut. You get a warm towel face treatment. I don't know what else to call it. It's another inclusion that feels slightly pampering, but that I wouldn't say is a must-have for a haircut. I've come to appreciate the simpler experiences. Ultimately, I pay more at Mankind, and the last few times, haven't even come out with a haircut I was altogether happy with. And that's what I went in for in the first place... read more

I REFUSE to give this butcher shop even a one star review but I had no choice because it wouldn't let me post review otherwise!!! ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS! I bought my husband a TeamBuy voucher for the 'alpha male with man hands (wash, cut, style, hot towel, head/hand massage, with paraffin and manicure'. The appointment was booked for 3:45 pm. First problem is that the Richmond St. W location is a cross between a gay Mexican nightclub and 'A Night at the Roxbury' movie. They were even literally playing the soundtrack to 'A Night at the Roxbury'. Second problem was, as I said my husband's appointment was booked for 3:45 pm and NO ONE TENDED TO HIM until AFTER 5:00 pm. How DARE you book someone and not provide the service for close to 1 1/2 hours AFTER their scheduled appointment! BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE! THIRD and MOST IMPORTANT - the MORON who was cutting his hair, the butcher - I mean barber, had the STUPIDITY and IGNORANCE to grab my husband's hair at the root on the TOP of his head and cut it COMPLETELY OFF! Not only did he not ask first but he then turned to my husband and asked "if it was ok?!?!". It seems this barber got his schooling on YouTube!! Note: my husband usually wears his hair on the top of his head at 3 inches in length. Not 1/4 of an inch. Needless to say after this jerk-off cut a HUGE chunk out there was NO solution other than for him to basically give my husband a military/police style hair cut/buzz cut!!! My husband was so humiliated and furious that as SOON as the hair butchering was done he left immediately without saying a word. He did not stay for any of the other services offered in the package. Let me tell you, if I was there and this A**hole did that to my husband in front of me, someone would be humilated and hurting more than my husband!! I am BEYOND livid with this CHOP SHOP and not only plan on speaking with the manager and owner, but I have filed a complaint with the BBB and TeamBuy! STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUTCHER SHOP!!!!! read more

I hadn't heard about this salon until I received complimentary Alpha-male haircut package in a gift bag I received at an event. I was eager to try this place out as I had been getting $15 haircuts at another location that were rushed and never to my satisfaction. I registered for my appointment online and decided to book an appointment with 'Tash'. I'm very happy I did... Not only was she extremely friendly, but she was extremely detail oriented. The paraffin wax treatment, the facial, and the head massage were all perfect. She spent a lot of time on detailing the fade of my hair, and took her time with the cut. Time went by fast as she seemed to enjoy chatting with me, and made me feel very comfortable. After everything was done I was amazed by how great my hair looked. You know how sometimes you get a haircut and feel a little off because you look "different".. Tash was able to tailor my hairstyle so that worked with my face, and balanced all my features... I've been getting compliments every day since my haircut and I honestly would never have expected to feel this good from a haircut. It gets better too... They give you a complimentary neck trim after two weeks... I was spending about $20 every three weeks for a mediocre haircut.. Now I'll only have to get a haircut every 5-6 weeks considering how well my haircut is growing out. At the end of the day, I'm paying around the same as I would have been before, except I'm getting a extremely higher quality cut. Check out this salon... You'll be glad you did. read more

Don't even consider going in here if you have anything more than 2 inches of hair. I called in to ask who understood how to style mid length hair and I was told Eren could do it but it would be $60 - absolutely obscene but I said sure. I had been growing my hair for over a year and asked for a cleaning. Not only did he not do a cleaning, he went to town and did whatever he wanted. I ended up losing 8 inches of hair and got an unblended pompadour yet GOT CHARGED for a long hair styling!. This should have been 33 which is 33 too much for this butcher job he had the nerve to charge me $60 for a long hair styling. Because of this I will never step back into this shop and advise anyone to go next door. If you insist on coming - dont le yourself get overcharged for no reason as I did read more

Lots of hype but came out of it all with a 'meh' I felt somewhat awkward with how I was greated... compared to the other places I've gone, I didn't feel like it was a very welcoming atmosphere. Cool decor but weird vibes. Anyways, I spent $50 on a haircut with some neat features. My hands were dipped in wax (felt nice, but I got the wax all over my jeans... which looked... awful haha) My hair was washed a bit longer than I would normally wash it. They put a hot cloth on my face then put some toner on it. Thats the neat features. In terms of the actual haircut, it looked super good. I went on their website to remember the name of the person who cut it, but I cant find her on there. Overall, cool and amusing experience but not a place I would dish out $50 once a month for a haircut. Also, the whole 'man' thing got aggravating near the end. What if a woman walked in with a men's short hair style, would she get turned away? Stereotypically, a man who wants to pay $50+ for his hair probably won't give 2 shats about an xbox. read more

I moved to Toronto from Brooklyn NY and tried quite a few barber shops, none of which got it right - until I found Mankind. The atmosphere is great, the service is spot on (especially the scalp and hand massage) and the free 2 week touch up is a real nice perk. My stylist, Loraine, is incredible - she actually knows how to give a tight fade and she's skilled with the scissors. Hip-hop kids and hipsters alike, all welcome. read more

Mankind Grooming Studio For Men - Loraine doing her thing. Definitely hit her up, and tell her Franke sent you. - Waxing Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm writing this not as someone who has ever had a service from Mankind (obviously), but as someone who sends her man to the studio and has always been happy with the results. My fiancé is very low-maintenance, and for the first couple years of dating he would continue to visit the barber that he has been seeing for the large majority of his life whenever he was in need of a trim. When he made the move downtown to live with me, he realized it was going to get harder and harder to get out to Etobicoke to see a barber with limited weekend hours, and he would let his hair grow to unmanageable lengths while he tried to figure out a time that worked best for everyone. Enter Mankind. From the get-go, they made him feel super comfortable, even though the idea of going to a salon admittedly weirded him out. The vibe is comfortable and classy, with overside leather chairs, punchy artwork, and a large flat-screen TV in the waiting area. The music is quite loud, but the it keeps the energy up. We have never waited long for him to get in for an appointment, and each stylist he's seen (he's not picky) has made sure they're very clear on what he wants before they even begin anything. The first time around he turned down the parrafin wax treatment and the face toner, but quickly warmed up to the idea when he realized that yes, he could in fact do with a bit of pampering. When he leaves, he always looks so debonair and smells amazing. I have no idea what kind of product they use, but I couldn't stop smelling his hair and face after his last visit. I'm just so grateful to have found a place that he is comfortable with, is reasonably priced, and conveniently located near work. He will definitely be back, probably in less than 2 weeks for his complimentary touch-up. I only wish that $45 got me that many services when I get my hair done! read more

So, I've been going to see Caleb for over a year now at Mankind Grooming. They opened another location in May of this year in Parkdale. I now travel an hour to get one of the most amazing bald fades I have had in this city bar none and I would follow Caleb anywhere! Anyone who wants to get a great haircut should get themselves to Mankind Grooming in Parkdale today! Thanks Caleb! read more

Needed a cut in a city I'm visiting, and yelp recommended this fine establishment. Glad yelp did. This place is great. A little busy, but, I had to wait for a couple of hours for my freshly made appointment. So I went to a bar, came back and got my cut. My hairstylist was efficient, good and I was really happy with my cut. Thanks Mankind for being a place I can trust my hair to... read more

Decided to give this place a try after doing a little research for male haircut-type places online. This one looked good, and I am glad I gave it a try. I walked in for an appointment about half an hour early, received a warm greeting and they accommodated me being early and saw me right away. Even if i had to wait I wouldn't have minded, very comfortable couch and TV setup for you to watch. Nice touch. Mikka took care of everything for me, asked me what I wanted, seemed happy to see a picture of what it was I looking for and gave me input if what I wanted would work based on the shape of my face and the fineness of my hair. She gave me a little mock up without cutting and agreed it would work. Received the complimentary hand-wax thing which I do not know the proper name of. Had my hair washed, scalp massaged, hands massaged, hot towel on my face. All awesome perks. I was moved over for the haircut. I come from a past hair history of buzzcuts and trims from Super Cuts, so I don't expect much. The amount of attention to detail that was paid to my hair was phenomenal. Didn't take too long, and the end result was fantastic. Was offered the option of a towel dry or a blowdry, also if I wanted product or not. I am used to just having the product liberally applied as a measure to try and sell me some over priced product when it was time to pay, but this was a definite nice change. No cheezy sales pitch as to why I absolutely some balding/dandruff/shiny shampoo. Good price, great cut. Thanks Mikka and the whole Mankind staff! read more

This is an upscale, no-holds-barred haircuttery that's a little more hipster than jock, despite the masculine aura. But that's a good thing. For me the best part is a hairdresser who actually listens to what you want. They have a short but purposeful "consultation" before each cut, where you actively share your preferences. I'm kind of picky, but also quiet, and don't like making a fuss, so lazy hairdressers usually do whatever they like. Caleb is a nice, straight-faced Irish guy with terrific attention to detail and he asks lots of questions about what I want, which is great. I found the atmosphere a little stiff and the prices a little steep, but I'm happy to call myself a loyal customer now, based on the supreme service and quality. read more

Wow! I arrived here this morning at 1pm and they were busy so I booked an appointment for 3pm. 3pm - Walked in and they gave me some lotion for my hands then dipped it in wax While I was getting my hair shampoo'd, one of the ladies there gave a hand massage. After the shampoo, they give your head a massage and then a facial massage. Whatever they put on your face feels amazing and it's great to have someone massaging your face while the other is massaging your hands (don't know if this happens always or it was just good timing). Hair cut was amazing - I have longer hair for a guy and explained that most barber shops screw it up by making it too short. My hairdresser here (Caleb I think is his name) said that he has been cutting girls hair for 10 years so he's good with long hair. Overall excellent job on the haircut and exactly what I asked for!!! I also got my beard trimmed. This place is a little expensive compared to regular hair cutting spots that I'm used to in the city ($20) and I ended up paying $65 (cut, wash, and beard trim) and giving a 25% tip so it was $80. Well worth it! read more

God a giftcard and based on Yelp reviews got a haircut from Tash. She was very friendly and paid a lot of attention to details Overall a good experience read more

It's been a while since I started coming here. It has a lot of thumbs up! It has great atmosphere, the people are cool and kind and they do a great job. The waiting lounge is quite comfy, although I've never waited more than 15 minutes. With the haircut it includes a nice shampooing with hair and facial massage. They used to do also an amazing hand massage too, which included cold wax that left them feeling as fresh and new as a baby's one might feel... they don't do it anymore. My hair is done by my good friend Nia, who is great, cheerful and we always have an awesome conversation. I also do my pedi and manicure with Toni, who is great too. Besides the good job and exciting conversation she always has good anecdotes to tell me. The only down is the price is (waaaay) expensive. I would also advise on getting an appointment. read more

Finding a stylist that puts time and effort into your hair is rare these days. I have been to many grooming salons for men and I can say that Mankind is my place now. I travel 45mins from outside the GTA to get my hair cut just because they do it right. Ruth is awesome, she really pays attention to detail and she can tame my curly hair. I would highly recommend this place to all those that value their image. read more

This brings me no pleasure. I was a walk in, being in town and being long overdue for a shave and a haircut, I decided to treat myself. Everyone was very nice, and the shop looked fun. I noted the shave was a luxury service that was advertised at taking 45 minutes. I asked if we could cut some of the luxury time as I didn't want to spend and hour at the salon. They agreed. They assured me corners wouldn't be cut (pun intended), just that they wouldn't do every step of the spa like treatment. I would pay regular price, I assured them, of course. The gentlemen who cut my hair was well groomed, and smelled good and very nice. I'm sure no one wants to be that close to someone who smells bad or has bad breath. But here's the real issue. The services rendered were not only NOT worth the money they were charging, money I'd gladly pay for quality service. It was incompetent. The shave. The shave was the worst. My father is an old school barber, and a straight-razor shaves should take 15-20 minutes for a full beard, max. With all corners cut, this stylist still took 45 minutes, and the shave was not a shave. He wielded the blade and moved it like he didn't know what he was doing. He shaved in small, hesitant moves that were uncomfortable. And because I didn't have my glasses and didn't look into a close mirror after all was said and done, I didn't notice at the time that it was barely a shave. There was not a patch of skin that didnt have some growth on it and many patches of...ugh, look, suffice it to say I had to shave again. The haircut itself was much better being only sub par. Meaning that I had to walk him through a standard short back and sides, slightly longer on top, tighter in the back. A standard "Mad Men" style cut that should be easy for someone who knows what he's doing. I touched up some missed strands here and there myself, and will have to get another cut in a couple of weeks. So, avoid. read more

I do very much love going here. I love going to Mikee, The Scottish Guy. He always gives me the best haircuts. He takes his time and listen to what i am looking for. His Hot Towel Shaves are great too. I also love seeing Anka, the owner as she always puts a smile on my face. Thanks Mankind for keeping looking great... read more

This place is awesome. So i'm bald and don't have the need for a haircut. My problem is, I have bad bad feet, and after a trip to NY, or with wear and tear, my feet get bad and uncomfortable, and a pedicure fixes that. Except most places you go to, half ass it, and just do a cosmetic pedicure. It cost $30, but Emma who was taking care of me, spent an honest to god, hour and 20 minutes fixing my feet up. No extra charge, no complaints, no half ass job. The best pedicure I've had. Some girls I knew were jealous that they couldn't go there. The old school chair was cool too, and the service to make sure you're comfortable was top notch. This place is really different. +1 to the management and team there! read more

Super overpriced. I requested a super simple haircut and got a below average result. Not impressed.

My first impression of this place was holding the door open for a girl after she had just finished her smoke break. She didn't even acknowledge me (like it was my job or something). Turns out she was my hairstylist that day. Very good cut but no smiles or conversation what-so-ever and the "free beverage" included in the "Alpha Male" was a self-serve jug of tap water. Maybe it was just a bad day but it made for a very uncomfortable experience. I'm sure they're still wondering why I didn't tip. Thankfully, I've recently found the barber shop under the Royal York Hotel. It's more old school, twenty bucks cheaper and just better overall. No problems tipping there. The John Allan's Mens Club on the top level of the Bay is also a far better experience than Mankind if you want to pay an all-inclusive membership. Shoe shine, way better hand treatment in my opinion, multiple women fussing over you and what's this...? Beer! read more

Mankind is awesome. I see Kyle there who is unreal. If you're a guy and are looking for someone who knows how to cut a good and trendy man's cut, you gotta go see him! Check out his instagram account @london_fades. He's a great dude and gives a 10/10 hair cut. Really puts in the time to give a meticulous fade and quality cut. read more

Walked in, very friendly atmosphere. Tried something new and got more. Shout out to Michael for giving me an awesome chop.

Michael "The Scottish Guy" is the best!!! He has been cutting my hair since November 2016 and I leave extremely happy every time.

The place is overrated at best, and pretentious at worst. It's for people who feel the need to spend way more money than they need to simply because it supposedly caters exclusively to men. But here's the rub: You'll get better (and less expensive) service at ANY salon. No, you won't have copies of "GQ" lying around or some phoney "Man" vibe that has been concocted for no reason other than a marketing gimmick. But you'll get better service. I got two Team Buy certificates and decided to try the place out. Got a haircut one day. A facial another day. Fine service. Nothing bad, nothing great. Same thing I'd get anywhere else, but for a bit more money. Still, it was local and I liked that they were trying to do something different, so I kept going. Then, last week, a friend gave me some Groupons he bought me as a gift, because he knew I go there. Well, when I tried to use them, they told me that I'm an existing customer, so they expect me to pay full price. And told me to take my certificates and give them to people I know who have never been there. They essentially old me the whole point was to get "new customers", not let "existing customers' use them. I guess if that's how you want to run a business, fine. But I think it's pretty snotty and not the way to treat someone who lives in the area and was a regular customer. Now, not only will I not be giving my certificates away, but I won't be back. So, they haven't gained new customers and lost one who was a regular patron. Way to go, Mankind. Look, it's overpriced anyway. It's not that great a service for the buck, and they're snotty anyway. It's a hair salon, not a five-star hotel. The attitude isn't necessary. And if they were so great, they wouldn't have needed a Team Buy deal in the first place. read more

I had been looking for somewhere to get a haircut and straight razor shave since moving to town a year ago. I tried a few others but they don't come close to Mankind. I get the Alpha Male package and straight razor shave with Loraine. The haircut is great - I even got comments at work - and the shave is baby smooth. Combined with the hand and scalp massages I always come out feeling great. Highly recommended. read more

Simply worth every penny. It's a great space, the people were great, and it just seemed very organized and professional. $45 is steep for a simple cut, but it's not a simple cut. It's nice to be pampered a little bit, and the paraffin wax treatment, hand and arm massage and mini facial were quite relaxing. My stylist (Caleb), though not much of a conversationalist, was on another level skill-wise - he really knows how to shape men's hair. Highest praise. read more

Great cut. Great service. I will definitely be a regular here. Justin was my barber - a great guy with haircutting talent to boot.

Sevice is great, Caleb is a good man no lie this was just a misunderstanding between two parties invovled. -Shawn read more

Just got a haircut. The barber was completely new and very slow. Didn't even ask me If I liked and took over 75 minutes to do it. I took another chance with the place despite having a horrible experience with the customer service 2 years ago. But I was desperate for a haircut. The person took my money and didnt ask about my experience. Two horrible experiences in a row, will not come back. I suggest those who value good customer service should not go here either. Also way too expensive. Do not come here!!!! read more

Easily my best experience with a salon to date. I have long curly hair, and quite commonly I find that stylists don't cut it accordingly. At Mankind, I enjoyed a fantastic cut tailored specifically to my hair type from Anisa, a stylist who specializes in curly hair. It's definitely my favourite cut I've ever had. On top of this, the experience was excellent. The additional services that come with the cut make it an actual experience, and the friendly and very intelligent staff made me feel comfortable even though it was my first time at their establishment. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a change, and a great hair experience! read more

Been going to ManKind for quite a while now. Service is excellent and Katie does a great bald fade. Highly recommend.

So I decided to check Mankind out after reading the reviews. Unless u guys were paid to give good reviews this place was nothing what i was expecting I have never been here before made an appointment before going in. I was told i would be seeing Mikka. Mikka was horrible, she had the worst attitude. It felt as though I was doing something wrong getting my hair cut through her. I thought I would ask her for suggestions, since she is a stylist maybe would not recommend this place to anyone. In spite of her attitude and meh haircut I still left her tip. Unless there is someone else in the place that one recommend I doubt it i will want to spend $60.00 ever again. WORD OF ADVISE TO MIKA YOU ARE IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE INDUSTRY LOOK PRESENTABLE. read more

I went there a couple of months ago and had one of the best haircuts I've ever had. Seriously, it lasted about three months and looked great throughout. I went again two weeks ago and booked the same hairdresser (Ashley?) and the experience couldn't have been more different. The previously friendly, attentive hairdresser seemed half asleep. It was a Monday night so I guess she'd had a heavy weekend and was struggling (I overheard her say to another staff member she was "zoning"), because she barely listened to what I said then proceeded to do the most half-assed job on my hair. The place is expensive, but if the haircuts good I don't mind paying more and I really thought I'd found somewhere great. If you'd have told me after my first visit that the second would be such a contrast I'd never have believed you. I'm half tempted to go back again, but just book a day later in the week when she's had time to recover from getting smashed, but then why should I give them my business again? read more
