I have to be totally honest here. I am not a fan of Toni& Guy and never have been…read more When I first moved to Manchester I had no hairdresser based here and desperately needed a haircut. I saw Toni&Guy and thought heck it can't be as bad as it was last time...how wrong was I ?!!! Again I walked out of the salon feeling like the stylists had teased my hair with the scissors. I had just spent close to £50 again for someone to rearrange my hair. I am not one of those people who says to the stylist ' I only want a trim' , in fact I give them as much freedom to do what they want as possible. When I say I want layers and a side fringe or something a bit more funky I do not want a 3/4 inch trim and some hairspray/gel etc. I'm sorry Toni & Guy but I find your salons a rip off. I gave you a second chance and you blew it so I can over give you 2 stars at best.

I'm not a huge fan of Toni and Guy…read more I've been three times now and had different stylists each time but received the exact same treatment! I've deliberately asked them for a specific cut and been ignored and I've also asked them not to use a razor on my hair and yet again been ignored. Grrrr. I know they are the professionals and they know better than me but it's my hair and I'm the one that has to look like an idiot when I get up the next day and can't make it all go the same way like they did the day before. And it's dead expensive. Tons of other places in town, shop around and find someone that suits you.

The hairdressers at this salon are a very mixed bag. I've…read morenow had 3 pretty awful and expensive haircuts on my curly hair and had to go to another hairdresser to get them sorted. I've also had issues with their online booking service and deposits As well as them losing my vouchers on their system. At £65 a haircut I expect much better and I won't be returning. Don't believe the hype, my local hairdresser is far superior in techniques on curly hair and much cheaper!

I went for the first time here after seeing that they had won some awards and also checking out…read moretheir instagram, which had really nice hair colour works, and I must say I was very impressed. The stylist I had was Lauren and she took the time to do a proper consultation and give recommendations on style and colour. She also did a fantastic job with my highlights and colour, and got rid off all the black roots and brassy yellow on the lengths of my hair. I liked the way she packed the highlights tight and to the very root, so my pink colour came out beautifully. The staff are all very friendly, and the salon is very clean. MT is probably the best salon I have ever been too, as many salons I have been to before just never get my colour right like here. They are very popular though, so it's best book a few weeks in advance.

Had an absolutely horrendous experience at FUNK on Burton Road…read more My husband booked an appointment this morning for 2.30. He clearly said on the phone wash, cut and restyle, I was sat next to him. We arrive at 2.25 and are told to take a seat. A lady is still having her haircut and is finished around 2.45. The owner, I belive her name is Nicola didn't speak to us once. After the lady had left she then proceeded to show who I imagine was the apprentice how to sort out a tray of items ready for another client. At 2.50 a lady walks in, a client Nicola obviously knows and she greets her and is chatting away, she then asks the apprentice to move my daughter so this woman can sit down! Still doesn't ask my daughter her name or speak to her directly. She then puts the Cape on her and I'm wondering why she isn't taking her to the sink to get her hair washed... She asks what she's having done and I show her the photo. The conversation went as follows: Her (looking at the photo) That's a full restyle Me: Yes that's what I booked in. Her: A man rang and booked and didn't say it was a restyle. Me: That was my husband I was sat next to him and he said wash, cut and finish. Her : This is shaved at the bottom? Me:... Yes? She then turns to my daughter and in the most patronising voice asks do you want it shaved at the back? My daughter replies yes (for the record my daughter has wanted a pixie cut since she was about 8. She is 10 now and I decided to get it done at the beginning of the summer holidays so it was a bit longer for school come September.) Nicola than asks my daughter again : Are you SURE you want it shaved? She then turns to me and says in a SUPER rude and patronising voice 'this is a lot of styling, she won't be able to do it herself, will you be able to do this for her everyday?' I told her I would and that I was quite capable of choosing which haircut is suitable for my daughter and that it was HER who chose the style. Nicola then proceeds in telling me at 2.55pm that the lady say next to me is booked in at 3PM. And that she doesn't think we will be able to do this. No apology. No offer to rearrange. She also admitted that it was booked in wrongly as she expected a dry cut that takes 15 mins. She basically told me she wouldn't be cutting my daughter's hair because had gotten off on the wrong foot No, she didn't cut my daughter's hair because she overbooked, prioritised the client she had booked in at 3pm because she knew her and because she spoke to me and my daughter like we were stupid and incapable of styling a simple pixie cut. I spent money on a taxi to get there, revived no apologies for the inconvenience and received completely awful service and manners from the second we walked in. I cannot recommend this place at all and actively suggest you avoid it as they obviously don't listen on the phone when making appointments, they have a poor appointment system, they over book, they are not friendly at all, no offer or a drink or magazine etc... They totally ignore you, don't ask your name and to stop it off she talked to me like something on her shoe when she realised we wanted a restyle (I imagine she was trying to put us off she she could just do a dry trim and get her next client in). My daughter has been looking forward to this all week as an end of school treat and she ended up crying her eyes out, she's a sensitive girl and the way Nicola spoke to her was horrible. Definitely won't be going back.

I went to Funk on Burton Road which has longer opening times on that selected day and they were happy to help. I am so glad Hairlounge were not available to style my hair as Funk was absolutely fantastic .. From service to finish! I had a cut and blow dry, the stylist really knew what she was doing and knew how to achieve the look I wanted. As well as this it was around 12£ cheaper !! I will definitely be going back and would recommend it to anyone

While people say that the difference between a good haircut and a bad one is only 2 weeks, having…read morebeen the recipient of many a disastrous chop over the years, I'm sure you'll agree that finding a good hairdresser is a welcome relief. And thus to AJM, which was a personal recommendation from my friend Ruth. I've always had mine done by Greg, who is now in charge, and I've always come out extremely happy. No messing about, a nice brew etc, the only slight downside is you might have to put up with some crowing about how Man U won the Champions League. But I won't knock a star off for that The other exciting fact about AJM is that my friend Lucy actually married Greg after he did her hair. Is there any better endorsement?

This was my first visit to a Nicky Clarke salon and I was more than impressed. The salon itself is…read morespacious and well decorated, very clean looking with lots of mirrors. I had both highlights and a cut so my first appointment was with the colourist who gave me her opinion on what she thought I should go for. She was completely right in what she recommended and my colour looks fantastic and my hair so much healthier. The stylist who cut my hair did what I asked him to and then dried my hair in a way that created volum and movement rather than just having it poker straight as most stylists seem to like to do. Yes it is quite pricey but I don't mind paying for my hair as if it looks good it makes me feel good too.

The woman who did my colour was very friendly and polite, she recommended the best colours to go for and really knew what she was talking about. The only negative is that you only get a quick blow dry included with the price, you have to pay extra to have your hair straightened or styled. Overall it was a good experience, Im not sure if I would have gone their if I hadnt had a discount though as the prices are high

The staff were lovely too, very knowledgeable and their was a cool and fun atmosphere in there. Not like those stuffy 'professional' hairdressers. They do in fact specialise in Afro-Caribbean hair (of which I am not the owner, although you'd be forgiven into thinking so when I've backcombed it into oblivion). They have a dedicated stylist for this kind of hair and whilst this is clearly a focus of sorts, they have a wide range of clientele so if you don't have Afro-Caribbean hair don't be put off. They are just as welcoming.

The staff are always friendly and listen to any concerns and ideas you have, having a stylist that you can really communicate with is essential.

Whether you have European hair or Afro they offer everything and are a great family hairdresser. I'll certainly be going back.
