Do you ever go to hairdressers who, no matter what you say, never do what you ask them to? As in…read morethey decide what style looks good on you even though you didn't actually want a bob but just a trim to your foot long hair? 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!

I booked an appointment here to get my hair done especially for a family wedding I was attending…read morelater that day. The stylist was polite and helpful, enquiring what I wanted done and then offering her own thoughts about the style. This was as good as the experience got. It all went down hill from here. For some obscure reason there was no mirror in front of me. I asked for small plaits at various sections. Check? negative, missing. I also asked that it would be elegant and not over the top. Check? Negative. Well, what I finally saw in the mirror can only be described as a monstrosity. My hair was everywhere in all directions. I looked like I had been dragged through a bush backwards. There was a sort of Mohawk on the top of my head and masses of volume everywhere else. I could have died. I had to walk home like this! The only reason I paid was because I wanted to get out of that shop as soon as humanely possible. Well I'll tell you I went home and my friend (who's a guy!) fixed it to a standard I don't think those girls had ever even heard of. One spot I'll not be visiting again!

Unfortunately the hairstyle I had when I walked out was very far removed from the premise. One big regret I had, that I am constantly kicking myself for, is that I actually paid for it. I wish I had just walked out and not looked back, but I hate confrontation and didn't like to say. I had a very similar experience to the other lady who reviewed, I happened to go here on a one off, after a recommendation from someone else. To cut a long story short, I wanted a side fringe, with some blonde highlights through my hair and a trim. What I got was a full fringe with orange highlights and ended up getting about four inches taken off my hair when all I asked for was a trim. Also, the lady barely spoke a word to me throughout my sitting, which made things very uncomfortable. I'm really self conscious about my hair and was very upset about this, at the time. I appreciate that I might have just had a one off, but I'm sorry, I won't be recommending.

Even just taking a few minutes to sit in your car before going in and breathing in 'the sounds of silence' is just wonderful! At the end of the small lane, and just right on the edge of the golf course, are 2 beautiful charming and rustic white buildings. You could easily imagine them belonging to some country gentry many, many years ago. One houses Ollar Beauty and the other is the Hair Salon. The salon itself is full of atmosphere; there is lots of hustle and bustle and the staff are an absolute delight. When you walk in you are greeted by friendly and caring staff; their head massages are to die for and nothing is too much trouble for any of them. It is easy to see the friendship and warmth amongst the team there; most of them have worked there for several years and that in itself is the sign of a 'great place to work'. No-one is 'in your face' though and if you want a bit of 'rest and relaxation' whilst getting your 'do' done, then this will happen. You would expect for the setting and the quality of the staff for this to be up there with the 'high end price' salons but this is not the case. Prices are moderate in comparison and for the head massages alone, I would pay double............... Gillian, the owner runs a tight ship and the salon is clean, well stocked and staff are always 'doing something!' All in all, a great hair experience and one I would highly recommend if anyone wants first class styling done by a highly professional and welcoming team.

After an absolute nightmare trying (unsuccessfully) for somewhere to fit me in for a cut and colour, Andrea's was suggested to me by one of my friends. They were able to fit me in, that was 7 years ago and I have never gone anywhere else since. Turns out they do a better job than any hairdresser I had ever been to before. They always seem to do my hair exactly the way I like it, and the colours are always exactly what I'm looking for. The prices are very reasonable and most importantly, the staff are really friendly and actually take the time to listen to exactly what their customers want.

It's nice having people you can depend on. This has to be said for good old Ross. He's been a…read morestylist here for over 30 years. His brightly decorated shop front and signs outside have been a landmark in Rathcoole Drive since time began. Ross offers an excellent service including free tea/coffee and complimentary craic and banter. Anyone and everyone can and do frequent this shop. Ladies call in to say hello and drop off a wee bun for him. It's lovely. I'm sure he mustn't make a fortune, but it keeps him happy and it's good work. Having built up a regular clientele who'd be lost without him Rathcoole would suffer greatly should he leave. A great, very funky person with manys a story to tell while him trims your luscious locks.
