Easy and cheap cut at home

Advantages: even easy cut, good value for money
Disadvantages: none to report yet

...I got this for my partner because, quite frankly, I was sick of him stealing the scissors and my razors at home! This clipper is a good product and I would always reccomend something from the babyliss range - call me a sucker for brands but I have never had a problem with the make when buying products before. The overall appearance isn't the typical appearance to clippers, at least not ones I've seen before but just like it says on the tin my partner found them easy to use and hold. Straight from the box the clippers use "Unique circular blade technology for multi directional cutting" which seem to make a massive differents than a pair of scissors giving the cut a nice and even appearance. The product is rechargable and comes with the mains equipment for corded use or uncorded, whichever you prefer! The results look very...

Cutting Edge Hair Studio

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: Not a good place for hair..

...I have to say, the manager of Cutting Edge should really think before posting his comment on what was an honest review by someone who attended his salon. Even if it was 2 years ago. But things obviously haven't changed much at this salon, because I've just had a similar experience, and therefore concur. Earlier this month I "enjoyed" sitting through at the same Cutting Edge Hair Studio after looking at their site http://www.cehairstudio.co.uk/ which on the face of it seemed reasonable, and found myself suffering a very bad haircut, badly styled - in a dirty salon (rickety stairs, 80's hair equipment - the place needs an uplift, guys.). My hair was presumably cut by the big boss there (at least I was told). To denigrate someone for giving her opinion on the treatment she had received to the point where you are making personal comments...

Review of Cutting Edge Hair Studio, Kensington High Street, London

A Very Very Good Hair Day!

Advantages: Heat very quickly, Thin irons are perfect for men and women
Disadvantages: None

...After having very short and spiky hair for most of my teens and early 20's, I decided earlier this year that I need a change and decided to grow my hair. When it got to a certain length, I purchased a pair of £20 straighteners from a supermarket. Being the 'typical' man, I decided that straighteners were straighteners, and I was not going to pay over the odds for a product that would no doubt do the job just as well. After getting sick and tired of waiting about 5 minutes for my straighteners to heat up, and about 45 minutes trying to get my hair straight, I decided on the recomendation of my friend to purchase a pair of the GHD mini thin straighteners. They come in a neatly presented box, with quite stylish packaging. The box had instructions on how to use and safety advice, which I would recomend reading due to the heat factor...

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

Great for short thin hair

Advantages: Heat very quickly
Disadvantages: Unable to cope with my thick hair

...I bought these recently as I cannot live without my older larger plated GHD's and thought that these would be a handy alternative. They do heat in under 3 seconds and have the same excellent ceramic plates as the larger version, however I found them very time consuming. I have very thick hair about shoulder length and unlike their larger cousins they were unable to straighten as effectively . On saying that they were brilliant on my fringe. I would recommend these to anyone with shorter or thin hair. A fashion conscientious male friend of mine used these and loved them and were perfect for his short hair. I would recommend using the straightening oil with these as they are very hot and I did find a few burnt strands of hair ....

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

GHD - A 'Good Hair Day'

Advantages: Heats up quick
Disadvantages: Expensive

...GHD are the best straightners on the market, GHD actually stands for 'Good hair day' which is exactly what they give you.....every time. Near enough every hair salon uses them and they can be bought from most of them and also the GHD website. There are a range of different types of GHD straightners for different styles, both for girls and boys. They Take only a short 20 seconds to heat up to a maximum temperature of 210 degrees, they also have a little red led which lets you know exactly when there done once its stopped flashing. Meaning you only have to go over one section of your hair once unlike many other straightners on the market. Straightening can be annoying when the cord keeps getting caught or tangled, but it?s not going too happen with the 360 degree swivel cord GHDs have. This makes it easier to move around your head...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Good Hair Day? Definitely!

Advantages: Quick to heat up, Excellent results, Easy to use, Time-saving
Disadvantages: Cost, Extremely hot, Only one setting

...I've had these hair straighteners for roughly six months now and have used them probably every day since I was given them, so I feel fairly qualified to give my opinion: that I really can't recommend them highly enough!! The quality of GHDs is unbeatable - I've used a lot of hair straighteners in my time, and I've got to say that they really do give consistently good results. They heat up in roughly fifteen seconds, and you can straighten hair very quickly in a rush with a fairly good finish - which as you can imagine saves huge amounts of time in the mornings! Generally, unless your hair is remarkably stubborn, the hair will also stay straight for the duration of the day. It's also worth noting that they're pretty versatile, and as my hairdresser demonstrated a few days ago, it's quite easy to get nice curls using these hair...

£34 For A Hair Cut ? Conversation Extra!

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

...taken me to my seat had said ?Karen? would be along shortly. So using my best deductive skills and a winning conversational opening, I said ?So you?re Karen too then?? ?Yes,? she said. Oh well. So much for that idea. Still, she proved she could talk ? by chatting to a colleague about the party he went to the night before and his fake tan! Apart from the distinct lack of verbal interaction, her hairdressing skills were good enough. She shampooed and conditioned my hair well and only sprayed water into my ears twice. An elaborate ritual of towel-wrapping followed and I was led over to another chair and had my hair dried and combed. She regained the use of her vocal chords briefly here, as she explained how she was cutting my hair, checked how I had my parting and how much I wanted off my fringe. She showed some enthusiasm in how she was...

Review of Regis Hairdressers

A hair cut with care instructions

Advantages: A salon that listens to you
Disadvantages: At the top end of the cost market

...As you ladies will know - it is difficult to find a hairdresser that listens to what you say. I was a regular at a well known salon and while my hairdresser did cut my hair nicely I found I was getting quite bored with the same old haircut. Anytime I asked for something different I would be handed a bunch of books and told to pick something that I fancy. Now, I don't want that - paying in excess of £40 for a cut/wash/blow-dry - I want the professional to advise me of different options / colours / styles that would suit my hair, face etc. So, it was time for a change. Looking round at the other salons in town I didn't see anything that inspired me (just the usual ladies walking out with neatly coiffed hair but nothing 'special'). Then, just as I was thinking I was stuck I noticed a salon by the church called Johnston Brady. Well to...

Review of Johnston Brady Hairdressers

GHD, makes a bad hair day a good hair day

Advantages: Temperature, quick warm up
Disadvantages: None

...These straighteners are the best hair straighteners I have ever used, they heat up in about 10 seconds, beep when they're ready to use and then if you forget to turn them off they switch themselves off which is great if you're like me and have often come home to find my bed covers completely singed. They're very hot which although on the one hand is good because they work really well for every type of hairstyle you can ever want to do, straighten, curl, volumise etc. However, if you don't use a comb when straightening your hair you can quite often burn your fingers on your hair. GHD really do offer quality products as a general rule and I would never use any other straighteners. This is my 3rd pair of GHD's so really I have no complaints, however, my hot pink straighteners have had to be sent back to GHD on 2 different occasions...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Sexy Shiny Hair With A Pink And Girly Twist!

Advantages: They Are Pink, Heat Detector, Heat Indicator, Easy To Use, Curls Too, Value For Money
Disadvantages: Frequent Use Damages Hair

...My mum bought me my first pair of GHDs roughly five years ago. Looking back I can honestly say that I have no idea how I managed without them! I had a pair of pretty rubbish things in my first year at secondary school but it wasn't until I had GHDs that my hair was properly managed. When we visited our salon they used GHDs to finish the look of both me and my mum's hairstyles. Now I know that the hairdresser can always make your hair look ten times better than you can but I have to say my hair looked straighter and sleeker than it ever had before. My mum forked out about £100 for the straightners, and judging by her usually tightness when it comes to money this shows just how impressed she really was. These were the original GHDs that were first on the market. They were innovative because they only took 7 seconds to heat up (my...
