Toni and Guy's student hairdressing

Advantages: free or cheap haircuts by academy students
Disadvantages: no choice- took ages to grow back to normal length wearing a headscarf most of the time

...I was an alien. A few people said "You had your hair cut- it looks so different- wow." He demanded I go back another time to be photographed for his final examination. He had not mentioned this at the preliminary cutting. His teacher did not pass him on the haircut- said one side was shorter than the other and insisted he shorten the other and even out the length all over. I decided that I would never never go to another hairdressing salon. It took many months (wearing a headscarf in as many variations of style as I could) for me to go out and feel confident about my hair. It has always taken ages to grow since I had it cut when I was 15 from waist length to shoulder length. Although my experience of this student was something I will never forget, it has not prevented either of my teenage daughters from going to the academy to be...

Review of The Vidal Sasoon School Of Hairdressing

Colchester Hairdressers

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

...I went to the hairdressers today....which now I regret AGAIN! I used to live in Leicester, the hairdressers I used there was brillant in doing what the customer wanted. I would go in with a couple of pictures and my hair was done almost exactly as the pictures were. I went every 6 weeks or so for years and never had a complaint with them. Then a couple of years ago I moved to Colchester, BAD HAIR MOVE! I must point out first, my hair is thin but naturally curly and at the time long. went to three different hairdressers over the first few years just for a tidy up with not much of a problem except they did not seem to know about scrunch drying, but it was ok as the cut was ok. My sister suggested going to a bigger named salon like I did in Lecester, so I went to Tony and Guy. I showed them pictures as I want the style...

Review of Regis Hairdressers

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Easy shopping trip
Disadvantages: none

...I have used Amazon.co.uk many times and have never been let down by them. When you click on www.amazon.co.uk you are greeted with a well presented home page, offering many different items, from books to television. **THE LOOK OF THE SITE** The site is well laid out and everything is split into categories depending on what you are looking for. Or you can narrow your search by typing in exactly what you're looking for. I found the site easy to navigate and simple to find a wide choice of items I was looking for. **BECOMING A MEMBER** This is a simple task and only takes a matter of minutes. You click on 'new customer? start here and are instantly taken to the 'sign in page. (If you are already a member you simply input your e-mail address and password) If not then you should click on the 'no, I am a new customer.' Then you...

Review of Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide Range, Cheap, Quick Delivery
Disadvantages: Cheap Looking Site

...I've only quite recently begun shopping with Amazon, the main reason being receiving vouchers from survey sites and from on here. It's now one of the first sites I look at when making a purchase. ~~~ Products ~~~ Amazon.co.uk stocks a massive variety of products. So far everything I have searched for has been available to buy on the site, although most of the things have been quite common like DVD's and games. I can't think of anywhere that stocks as much stuff as Amazon, maybe not even Ebay. ~~~ Prices ~~~ The prices on Amazon are very competitive and are usually the cheapest place to but DVD's and games, again being usually cheaper than Ebay, I have no doubt that this is the case for many other products. The main down side is that cash back sites don't offer cash back for Amazon, or am I on the wrong cash back site...

Review of Amazon.co.uk

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide choice and easy to use
Disadvantages: Wishlists disappear

...I am sure there is no one here who would not know what Amazon.co.uk is, but, on the off chance... Amazon.co.uk is a website that started originally as an online book store. Now over the years it has grown and developed to sell a whole range of items. Including, Electrics, DVD's, CD's, Appliances, Toys, Games and many more. Layout and Navigation ---------------------------- Amazon.co .uk has an orange/blue and white theme throughout; it's clear and well laid out. There is a search bar at the top of the page to type in what it is you're looking for. You can narrow this down by category. One feature I really like about Amazon is the suggestions that appear on screen, you can see what other people who brought the product you are viewing also looked at, so if you have similar tastes, might show you a great product to go with what...

Worlds best hair dressers!!!...honest!x

Advantages: personal, proffessional, great experience
Disadvantages: none

...I would have to say in order to fully appreciate this review; you really need to see my previous review of Tony & Guy and my disaster experience with them. How I discovered them >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After my experience of Tony & Guy wrecking my hair I tried Trevor Sorbie in Brighton (who has equally huge prices.) Eventually about a month after my hair was ruined a close friend of mine recommended that I try out EB: UK… and the rest is history. The Salon itself… >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> They are in the centre of Eastbourne, Close to the train station They are not a chain of salons, and therefore make all their own decisions and are able to provide a much more personal and taylor-made experience. The salon, although lovely before has recently (May bank holiday weekend ’06) been re-vamped. The style is now what I can...

Review of EB:UK Hairdresser

Horror at the hairdresser's!

Advantages: Fun to read, author doesn't take himself too seriously
Disadvantages: The suspense of disbelief goes a little too far this time...

...When Carole is forced to change her hairdresser to a more local one, she doesn't expect to become involved in another murder. Yet involved she does become when she witnesses the owner find her assistant, Kyra, dead in the back room. The obvious suspect is Kyra's boyfriend, Nathan, who just happens to have gone missing. Carole and her friend and sleuthing partner, Jude, become involved in the investigation, and get to know Nathan's family a bit better than they would have liked; certainly they suspect that they may know more about Nathan's disappearance than they are lettingon. They also make contact with Kyra's former boss, who she was planning to sue for sexual harrassment and her strict, elderly father who didn't approve of Kyra having a boyfriend. As the list of suspects grows, can Carole and Jude find out the truth without becoming...

Review of Death Under the Dryer - Simon Brett

Amazon.co.uk review

Advantages: Inviting, helpful, good site layout
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest for certain things

...The entire amazon company is probably one of the best know, most used and most visited websites on the internet. It was one of the first major companies to sell goods over the net and was one of the companies that survived the dot com bubble burst of the late 90's. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon.com, Inc. in 1994, and went online the following year. At first it was just selling books, but soon started to sell video tapes, CD's, video games and, eventually, DVD's. Now it has websites for the UK (which I'll be reviewing here), Japan, Germany, France and China. When you get to the front page, you'll notice that is very inviting. Lots of bright colours set on a white background makes the site look very clear. It doesn't feel cluttered though, even though there is a lot to look at, everything is well organized. From here you can choose from...

Review of Amazon.co.uk

Shopping for Books (AGAIN!) on amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Sells lots of books including out-of-print and limited editions; can't find it? Ask! Free SUPER SAVER DELIVERY now applies when purchase over £15 of "eligible products"
Disadvantages: I forget passwords and their re-verification proceedure is bewildering; items can be expensive; must CHOOSE Super Saver Delivery to receive it; SUPER SAVER DELIVERY you WAIT FOREVER

...March 2004. I took on board the comments particularly that, although there are MANY reviews of the site, a "prospective buyer" will not want to read HUNDREDS of reviews to get the information they require, so EACH review should be as informative as possible and include all essential information. Many people associate AMAZON with Entertainment Media (Books, CDs, Films. Games) and are surprised to realise that Amazon.co.uk is now MUCH MORE. As my TITLE clearly states that I am discussing the purchase of BOOKS on AMAZON, I will be discussing THIS in much more detail. However, it is worth noting that AMAZON have been expanding their range, so I will include brief details of what is available. The website has a brand new featured category link (featured in turn as you change pages) in the top corner of the page to entice you to explore...
