I think I spent around 4 or 5 years looking for a brilliant stylist who would actually listen to me and didn't cost an arm and a leg. Then I found Bliss in my own backyard. Its owner, Julieann, is the only person I will EVER let near my hair now. And at £7 for a funky style, just the way I like it, it's become absolute favourite hairdressers. The staff are lovely and you're always guaranteed to have a laugh when you visit as they talk about what they did last weekend!

You can have one option, two or all three and the prices are great too!! Costing £15 for a blow dry, £20 for a cut and blow dry and £25 for a colour cut and blow dry, also offering highlights from £20-£40. Its a bargain!

They don't take bookings so you may have a wait but it's never long and is always comfortable. The salon itself is really funky as has a really great vibe!

It was a favourite of my…read moresister's back in the day and in town one day I decided to see how 'male friendly' it was and get a straightforward number 2 haircut. The salon offers a simple walk in policy and apparently a 15 minute wait is pretty much the maximum that it ever takes. The selection is simple...there are 3 options competitively priced...cut, cut and blow-dry, cut colour and blow-dry. So no confusion there. After a minute of explaining what I wanted, I was asked to take a seat and then brought over to the main cutting area. It's a long, bright room done out with gilt wallpaper which was a bit disconcerting at first. The hairdresser was attentive and cut the hair as requested, even going a bit shorter at the back when I asked. They didn't have a price for this particular cut as it's a mostly female clientele but as it only took a few minutes they only charged me £6. As reasonable as any barber I've been to. Pros: No booking necessary. Friendly staff. Cons: Mainly for female customers.

As you enter the salon there is a huge ornate mirror so you can see the dreadful shape of your barnet before you go in for your transformation. For a salon right in the centre of student land, the prices are a bit steep - expect to pay anything from £75 to £150 depending on what you want done and whether your appointment is with the style director or the regular stylist. The staff are very friendly, they listen carefully to your requests and they will give a good consultation before they begin. I enjoyed my time there but it was a bit too expensive for me - walking out I certainly saw what I paid for in the mirror - I would recommend a visit if you want a drastic transformation, you have time on your hands and money in your pocket.

This made me automatically think that the hairdressers inside what represent those same values and so I decided to wander in and take the plunge. I usually stick to what I know when it comes to hairdressers but I was willing to give Urban Hair ago basically on the outside appearance. I was not disappointed. The staff are lovely, really helpful with great ideas for alternative cuts and styles. It is a bit pricey but that's what you expect for a cut in the city and a unique cut at that. However, a word of warning if you like your long locks be sure you don't let the hair stylists get scissor happy as you may be pining by the end of you visit.

Based in Botanic beside French…read moreVillage Hedonist houses a really cute nail bar on the ground floor, a hair salon on the middle floor and up top is Blind Willie's barber. The staff are all super friendly and make you feel very welcome and relaxed. The decor is a rustic mish mash of random ornaments, paintings, photographs and plants. It's really quirky and very cosy. The stylists are attentive and provide great advice on what style they feel might be best for your hair. I love the fact that they listen and aren't scissor happy like so many other places. They take time and patience and talk you through the steps they are taking. Tea, coffee and magazines are always on offer and there's always a nice atmosphere with an electic mix of music playing in the background. Hedonist really is a great spot to relax, unwind and get pampered for a few hours. It can be pricey but with such great service and talented stylists I feel it's well worth it. They provide 25% off for students and also have their own loyalty cards which you can use to get a free cut and blowdry. I'd definitely recommend booking an appointment with Hugo, he's very talented, full of knowledge and a genuinely friendly guy.

Having sat patiently in the waiting area while he was beautified, I can honestly say it's a really nice salon.

So, at his suggestion, I called these guys and booked in to get myself a new head of hair. Can we leave all controversial debates about whether hair extensions are morally correct aside for the moment and concentrate on the service? They were excellent. They looked after me from start to finish, gave me advice on how to look after the extensions, and kept me occupied with copious cups of tea and magazines while they worked tirelessly on my tresses. The result was a fabulous mane of hair, double the thickness of my previous sad mop - and it lasted for 6 months. It wasn't cheap at all, actually very expensive indeed, but when you consider the man-hours and the cost of ordering and dying the hair to match mine, it wasn't a surprise. I went into it with my eyes wide open, knowing it would hurt my wallet. I would more than recommend this place if anyone is thinking of having extensions put in and are prepared to pay for good quality service and product. If they can make me look good, they can do it for anyone!
