Marcello Hair Design

Like the reviewer above I went to Marcello’s because of a 10% off voucher and also because my regular hairdresser was ill and I needed to find a new salon fast. I had booked in person and made it clear that i needed a stylist that could work with fine hair and was assured that this would not be a problem. Huh! In spite of the chap taking nearly a hour to blowdry my fine har, the style collapsed within minutes of leaving the salon and in spite of the hairpsray which I had asked for. Oh and they’re not particularly friendly either so I really wouldn’t bother!

A cheap but not very cheerful salon right by Red Lion Square in Holborn. They are open from about 8.30 am which is handy and do the full range of hairdressing services for men and women, it’s a bit hit and miss though as the staff change quite rapidly, there used to be a woman working there who did very good cuts but she’s gone and has been replaced by a very rude woman who was so unpleasant I refused to let her cut my hair and insisted the owner do it instead. He’s a nice chap, really listens to you and goes out of his way to make sure you get exactly the cut you want, I had my hair cut from bob length to very short and was very happy with the result. I went back and had my hair bleached which wasn’t such a great experience, it was really yellowy despite discussing at some length the day before and having a sample of hair bleached in advance that I wanted white blonde hair. I had to go somewhere else to have it fixed which was costly to say the least!
So, good for quick cuts (you can be in and out of there in 30 mins if you’re in a hurry) but perhaps not for colouring.
