Salon Experience

Pros:

  • "The Salon is such a fun place to be too!"
  • "From start to finish the service is exceptional, personalised and an incredible amount of fun."
  • "Every single staff member is so warm and welcoming instantly making you feel right at home, and fabulous!"
  • "The whole crew and amazingly friendly and lovely. Always made sure I'm comfortable with tea and biscuits or something chilled like cloudy lemonade."
  • "The vibe of the salon and the staff is so open and welcoming, I literally feel like I'm catching up with my friends when I go."
  • "The salon has a community feel and everyone looks after you which is a bonus when bleaching is a lengthy process."
  • "The whole vibe of this salon is just perfect!"

Cons:

  • "I found myself being 5-10 minutes late for my appointment... the lady on the phone simply told me I will not be seen as they’re too busy."
  • "Despite ringing NAS, keeping them updated throughout the journey and eventually literally sprinting to the appointment, the slightly unhelpful receptionist told me that they were unable to see me."
  • "Also it goes on about how its a place for misfits etc but tbh I didn't find it all that welcoming."
  • "It felt that unless you were some kind of hair blogger you didn't really get the best treatment."

Stylist Expertise

Pros:

  • "Norman is one of the best humans on the planet."
  • "He always goes above and beyond to make my hair dreams come true."
  • "Norman is an absolute hair god."
  • "Norman is a GENIUS when it comes to hair colour and care."

Cons:

  • "After my first appointment my hair had broken and was badly damaged, something that I did inform them of."
  • "I’m now left with a streaky hairstyle and over £500 out of pocket."
  • "Asked for a balayage and instead got something that looks like dodgy highlights."
  • "To leave in tears with wrecked hair was so upsetting."
  • "Hairstylist seemed super inexperienced with cutting and straightening curly hair."
  • "I genuinely hate my hair, I went in wanting rose gold colour and i got red instead."
  • "I was persuaded to go copper and my hair was bleached to within an inch of its life and ruined."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Sophia, she reached out personally to rectify my hair and I couldn't be happier."
  • "They care about your hair in the long run and not just on the day of your appointment with them."

  • "Thank you to Norman, Jeremy and the whole Not Another Salon team for taking such good care of me and my hair when I came in on Friday."

Cons:

  • "The end price was over £100 more than what I was quoted in my consultation appointment!"
  • "After 1 wash (with organic, minimal chemical shampoo) the colour pretty much came out."
  • "Money not very well spent :-("
  • "Really expensive (but all salons in London are) and ultimately didn't get the colour I wanted / asked for."
  • "£260 for a disastrous colour and still have wrecked hair now months on."
  • "I was so excited to originally come in and try somewhere new but now feel completely mugged off and let down."
  • "I was also under the impression that the deposit works like a regular deposit and goes towards your appointment but nope- it’s actually on top of what you pay and wasn’t made clear to me at all."

Inclusivity

Pros:

  • "You can really tell they mean it when they say their ethos is about being inclusive to everyone."
  • "I am autistic so this process (involving a new place, people, sensory inputs etc) could have been a challenging one, but everybody has been kind, straightforward and understanding- Connor especially."
  • "Now for a more personal note, if you're lgbtq+ person, you'll never find a better alternative; I've felt exceptionally safe and well-received."
  • "The salon is also super warm, welcoming and inclusive, and the team are so friendly."
  • "Upon entering you can see what a fun, free and safe space it is."
  • "The environment you will find in this salon is inclusive and happy, which is difficult to find!"
  • "Everyone is so lovely there, so helpful and caring and they’ll do what they possibly can to make you feel welcomed and pretty in your new hair."

Cons:

  • "Your just a money making machine not a proper hair salon."
  • "I shall not be visiting this salon again as I have been left with disappointment and damaged hair."
