Customer Service
Pros:
"The staff here are very friendly and it makes us very comfortable throughout."
"Always accommodating for our needs and go above and beyond service every time."
"Customer service here is amazing. It's clean fast and quality service provided."
"From the second I walked in I was greeted by the lovely Sonia. A big smile and warm welcome."
"The staff members were kind enough to reschedule my appointment at a very short notice."
"Although the staff were busy they still took the time to both listen and advise on the type of haircut."
"Exceptional service from Ida. It was my second time coming here and Ida has perfected my hair."
Cons:
"Not the best customer service. I came in to ask about my hair and as I am a hijabi I asked if I could show the receptionist (who mentioned she was an hairdresser) my hair in a private space."
"Please don’t offer early appointments and then make your annoyance obvious to customers!"
"Customer service from one specific employee was beyond anything I've ever experienced.. rude, unprofessional."
"The atmosphere was ok, the manager Renu isn’t very welcoming."
"Made me feel so unwelcomed and really tried my patience with her constant attitude and remarks."
"Carly's tone was rude and abrupt and she struggled to listen to what I was trying to discuss with her."
"Very disappointed. Inexperienced lady especially Carly, very rude lady."
Salon Experience
Pros:
"It was an amazing experience and services are really good."
"Had a wonderful massage and facial. The ladies at the salon were most welcoming."
"I'm a regular customer at Styles Ahead for my haircut and blowdry but this time I tried a facial and a full body wax. Wow I felt BRAND NEW!!"
"Sonia did an amazing 30 minute back massage and 30 minute deep facial It was so worth it definitely recommended."
"Excellent customer service and beautiful haircut from Nayer."
"Lovely friendly and clean Carly was our hairdresser I would recommend x."
"Had a lovely experience today at Styles ahead Barkingside with their new stylist Alex."
Cons:
"Charging more than their experience."
"I'd also question the cleanliness of the salon."
"The fastest wash cut and blowdry ive ever had. Extremely rushed. Was literally in and out within 25 mins!!"
"A truly horrific experience during my recent visit to Style Ahead Barkingside, where I had intended to undergo a routine facial waxing."
"I would not recommend Styles Ahead in Barkingside to anyone! The salon is outdated and staff are completely unprofessional!"
"I wish there was an option for zero stars! Today I went for an eyebrow wax and I’m not joking when I say she waxed off half my front eyebrows!!!!"
"The beauty department seems very separate to hair so a bit loud when they’re all standing around chatting away."
Styling and Treatments
Pros:
"Carly was absolutely fantastic. I had a keratin treatment and I couldn't be happier with how she did my hair."
"Came from far away just to get a haircut from Eda and get eyebrows done from Sonia. I’m in love with results and definitely recommend."
"Booked on Treatwell a quick and easy booking, got seen straight away. Thank you Ida for doing my hair just how I like it, also to Sonia who did my eyebrows very nice."
"Excellent service by Julie. I’m always cautious with where I go to, but I chose to go styles ahead because of cleanliness, sticking to appointment times and professionalisms."
"Had the golden facial package 3 for 2 with Sonia and Kamwal. It’s a lovely experience for a high street salon."
"Always get my highlights done with Carly, always professional and always done to a high standard."
"Had a blow dry by Julie really friendly helpful and felt so good after my hair style."
Cons:
"I had been to this place for the first time for hair colouring and it was a nightmare."
"Not sure what hair dye they used but it left my scalp dry, itchy and feeling very tight."
"This was my only place to go to do my hair and eyebrows. Unfortunately my last visit to do my roots left me with face and hair line burns which took a bit longer to heal."
"I asked for a bob cut, longer in front, the hairdresser cut my hair very short in front."
"I wanted a blowdry for my pre wedding shoot, the lady insisted she uses straightners to curl my hair rather a blowdry because my hair is too long (although never been a problem in the past) she left the straightners on my hair for too long she has burnt my ends."
"Very unprofessional lady was very rude when ask for colour. And don’t know at all how to colour hair or highlight she ruin my hair."
"I asked for layers but the hairdresser simply chopped my hair with a blade and was done in 10 minutes."
