Regis Hairdressers

Advantages: Felt ever so chilled out and relaxed afterwards!!
Disadvantages: Still too shilled out and relaxed to think of any!!

...a pampering session at Fenwick's Regis Salon in the centre of Newcastle. Being the terribly dis-organised woman that I am it took me till the end of July this year to get around to booking myself in, but I have to tell you it was well worth the wait! Firstly, let me tell you what the voucher was for: Express Pedicure Express Manicure Hair Washed and Styled Estimated time: 1hr 45 mins Tea/coffee/juice included. Fenwick is a very famous Newcastle ...
...of the city centre. It's very easy to get to, with great transport links, and it's famous green logo can be spotted a mile away! There are lifts or escalators to all floors, and the salon is on the 3rd floor, next to a lovely terrace café/restaurant and the children's toy section. When I arrived I was greeted by very polite staff, who were dressed smartly in black. Despite me being 5 minutes late I was still accommodated and after a couple of minutes ... Read review

Advantages: Talented staff
Disadvantages: Price and lack of service

Regis hairdressers always seemed a little to pricey and posh for my liking (yes, things can be too posh, even for me) but one Christmas I was given a bit of money, and with nothing much that I wanted to buy for once, I thought I’d spend some of it on a morning at the hairdressers. I went the day before a job interview and wanted to look respectable for it. I booked 3 or 4 weeks before the appointment and was given a free range of times to suit ...
...better to do. Regis is a nationwide chain of salons (to find your nearest one ring 02476 840 300). They have stand alone places and concessionary status within certain larger department stores too. My local branch is on the Mezzanine level of one such store, and offers interesting views of the tops of shopping customer’s heads. Climbing the spiral staircase I found myself in their tiny reception area. The stylist checked me off and since I ... Read review

Advantages: Nice hair cut, good stylist, pleasant surroundings
Disadvantages: Very expensive, no conversation

...and booked an appointment with Regis – the hair salon in House of Fraser in Bristol. I have been there twice before and although it is expensive, I have always been very happy with the service and felt it was a nice treat and a good pick-me-up. As I have been ill for 3 weeks now with a bad throat and chest infection, it sounded a good idea all round. It started off well. I was greeted with a nice smile, had my coat taken to be hung up and I was ...
...is spacious and clean. The Regis products are good ones and ones I am happy to use and yes, I was pleased with my cut – although my family said they couldn’t tell much difference! But a salon looking nice is not much good without it having the service to deliver. My experience at Regis today was like buying an expensive book with a beautiful cover, only to discover the story was rather weak. ADVANTAGES I was pleased with my hair cut. The stylist ...

Advantages: They know what THEY want
Disadvantages: Do not listen to the customer.

...complaints. i went to Regis today in Colchester, I have decided to have my hair shorter ( to my neck) but still curly. Took some pictures. The lady said instead of this what about a straight bob and use straightners. no i want it like the pictures and how I discribe it. she says I will get some magazines and have a look at pictures, all of which were dead straight, blunt cuts. no I do not want that sort of style and picked a picture similar to the ...
...book and said lets wash your hair. I thought....she has finally got the message. Hair washed Time to start cutting, she suggests putting some whispy layers in to make it thicker....ok. She finishes cutting and starts drying, I think this is not turning out like I asked. Waht I did not know was her version of whispy layers is not the ones I have experianced in the past. she has layered it all the way up. then she swiches on the straightners! ... Read review

Advantages: Good quality cut, listened, polite
Disadvantages: Salon bit cramped

...review only relates to the Regis salon in Leicester that is based within the main Shires shopping centre in the city centre. The review is also sort of unique in being written by a male as it seems most the reviewers of hairdressers seem to be female. SALON: The salon is quite minimalist in style - plenty of chrome and white décor, although some might find it a bit cramped as they seem to have tried to fit as many chairs in as they can. The section ...
...salon is also quite cramped and some might find the very open-plan design a bit off-putting. However, the salon has always been clean and tidy on the occasions that I have been there, and any hair is regularly swept up. As in most salons, black is the colour that dominates staff clothing and some may find it intimidating that all the staff are young, trendy looking and clearly take time with their appearance. But, I have always found the staff to ... Read review

Advantages: Works well, smells nice, easily available
Disadvantages: Doesn't last long for the money

...My hair is currently in quite a bad state. After dyeing it a variety of colours over the last five months or so, I had a bit of a lecture from my hairdresser when I went in January. She said some of my hair at the back was brittle and I needed to strengthen it, while resting it from the chemicals for a while. Being terrified at the prospect of a bald spot (!), I bought some bottle of Regis’ own product that the hairdresser recommended. Well, she would, wouldn’t she? I paid over £5 for it, but I must admit, it was great stuff and really seemed to do the trick. The bottle ran out a couple of weeks ago and as the salon is in town, I had to make do with something more local. I went to the pharmacy, explained about the condition of my hair and asked for the best product they had. I was advised to try the Aussie 3-Minute... Read review

Advantages: lush, silky, shiny hair
Disadvantages: fairly expensive, not stocked by major outlets

...I've recently changed my hairdresser and also started to straighten my very thick curly hair more often now, also I am gradually going back blonde so I was very happy to discover this new product. My hairddresser used i the first time she did my hair and I thought my hair felt lush, really silky and incredibly soft. It also smells divine and shines beautifully. Now when you think that I am not only starightening my hair but also using bleach on it then this product is a miracle worker. I did wonder whether it was easily available as my hairdresser got mine from a salon 50 miles away from me but it would seem that if you go onto the Regis website then you can find out who stocks their products. Cashmere kera-forte i s absolutely a must for any woman who wants great hair, you are supposed to spray the hair bfore using heated appliances... Read review
