    It's trial and error with hairdressers. Just because it's expensive doesn't always mean it will suit you.

    Give them a go anyway, sit and have a chat with your stylist before hair wash and explain what you would like. You really won't know until you get there whether they will be on your wavelength or not. Many people take a photo in and end up disappointed cos the hairdresser isn't experienced enough to bother telling them that the style won't suit them or won't work on their hair. A good one will tell you that it won't work.

    My advice, if you try there and aren't happy is ask around your mates whose hair you like where they go and give them a try.

    When you find the one you like, stick to them like glue and follow them from salon to salon - many small salons have great stylists and colourists who set up on their own after getting some great training with the big names.

    I've tried many salons over the years, i have the worst thick and frizzy hair in the world :mad: i had really long hair and wanted a bob i thought i'd try toni and guy so i did and i can honestly say they are the best they did me a great bob style that was very fashionable even tho the stylist said he had never seen hair like mine he found it very difficult to style but in the end it turned out great after he went through it with ghd's.

    I would defo recommend them to anyone as they seem to really know what they are doing and the quality of the cut is worth every penny like someone said earlier they are expensive but i think they are worth the extra money.

    I'm curious to know, how much a cut and blow dry is at T&G?
    And is it worth it? LOL
    I normally pay £35 at my normal hairdressers and gather it would be a lot more expensive than this.

    OMG! IS that all? I was expecting about £60 :o


    I had my hair cut Monday into a bob from being fairly long (middle of my back/bra strap length) and it seems a bit 'choppy' at the back (qoute my mother in law), i have phoned the salon today to speak to the lady that cut it but it's her day off, the manageress said to pop in tomorrow for her to look at it.
    I've never had any problems with her doing my hair before and she's been doing it for about 18 months.

    MMMMMMM......... Feel tempted to try T&G next time

    I had really long hair to middle of my back and got it cut short to my ears toni and guy charged me £80 but that included half head of blond highlights so not bad i suppose.

    Ive been going to a hairdresser for a while, but i find he's not really in touch with young mens hair, he seems to style my hair into a bit of a bouffant, regardless of what i ask for.

    So ive booked an appointment today at a Toni and Guy. Basically i dont want the length affected other than around half an inch off all round, and the back taken up slightly. But overall i just want more a choppy cut, a bit more current looking than when the other guy does it. Whats everyones opinion on the place, will i be pleased with the results?

    Also do they have style books there so i can show them what i want?

    Fiftypents - how did you get on?
