Retro Hair

This is now my official hairdressers; I love it!
Retro is not far from my home or old school, and it’s been open for a good few years now, it has always come very highly recommended and yet, until yesterday, I was a Retro virgin. I needed my barnett sorting in preparation for a party and thought I’d try somewhere new; I went along to Retro, having booked an appointment earlier that day, and as I sat waiting for my stylist I began to worry that the outcome would be disastrous and my terrible new do would ruin the photographs of the evening’s celebrations. However the professional manner of my hairdresser, Rebbecca, as she discussed my desired style and how she would create it, settled my nerves a little.
In under an hour I had had a consultation, had my hair washed, (with the most divine products; the shampoo smells gorgeous0 layered and styled with a new full fringe, and blow dried beautifully with big bouncy curls.
My hair is very long and thick and in my experience, hairdressers tire or simply bore when styling it, but Rebbecca was patient and did a great job; I was thrilled with the final result.
The services are very reasonably priced as well; £22.50 for mine.
My only complaint is the somewhat hazardous salon chairs! The protruding foot rests caused a couple of trips and a near concussion as another client took a tumble into the metal stair rail!

The bizarre claim to fame in this salon is that they weer once featured on a tv programme with Ann Widdacombe, in which she attempted to resolve a dispute about the staff smkoing area! This may suggest its an old lady salon catering for perms and sets, but this is far from the truth. Its a bright, modern salon, with young stylists, but friendly and welcoming nontheless, you wont feel initimidated or out of date. Ive used a couple of stylists here and they have all been good — my favourite is Annmarie, who is a great colourist, and takes her time to make sure you are happy with her suggestions before she starts. I just wish she worked Saturdays! Expect to pay about £30 for a cut and blow, and approx £50 for half head foils and cut.
