But in all seriousness, if the salon don't care about spelling mistakes on their website, what else are they not gonna worry about?

I saw one salon advertising this earlier.
Everything £9 each and if your hair is past your shoulders then an extra £3 😂
I said how on earth can they make a profit and that I'd hate to think how much they pay there staff.
The owner messaged me saying he'd won all these awards, he pays his staff £11 an hour blah blah. He said its a new concept that is happening more in London and apparently does very well.
I told him he should charge what he's worth if he's won awards and then he tried to offer me a table to rent!

Every 15 mins you make 9.95 what is there not to make profit on!
That's £40 an hour on styling. That's more than some people on here, you uses half a tube for a root tint- £9.95 1/4 tube for ends another £9.95.
On our special days our junior stylist is £24 for a cut and blowdry and £26 for a colour so it's not far off what most salons might charge on their lower end scale.
If you've got long hair and buy 2 box colours you might aswell go there.

We have one in Bexleyheath.....There are always 'bums on seats'.....
I have also noticed another salon a few hundred yards away offering the same type of deals.....£10.00.....Cut's, colours, whatever.....
The problem is, we now have a culture who LOVES to think they are getting a deal.
Any one who isn't offering 50% or more off, is a 'Robbing B******'!
Talk to your client's, and you will see what I mean.
Today my client was telling me,'they are charging £1.90 for a coffee at blah blah.......daylight robbery, we all know how much a spoon of coffee is'!
They can not see
1. Overheads
2. Staff, who are employed to make their coffee.....
3. It's a business, not a hobby/charity, it's there to MAKE MONEY!
I believe 'Martin Lewis' has a lot to answer for!.......:|

It's true,it's not that Cheap,if they do it quickly but the way they promote the Salon, and the look of the Salon is just horrible, so cheap and tacky.
I'd rather use good products,give clients and nice massage, time to relax,have a chat with them and create a clean professional finish and charge them a lot more hahaha x

First salon I used to work in used goldwell. After working with a few other brands I now actually think I like goldwell whereas before I wasn't so keen. I like how it's lettered and not numbered and the blonding cremes that you can add to colours too. I'm just not too keen on their reds to be honest.
I uses to live in Harpenden for a while then Luton, and now back home again... lol...hijacked sorry....
Anyway....if I spent £9 in a salon, I'd only expect a clipper cut how can they manage £11 ph when 1 treatment doesn't even cover that wage...

This thread has had to be edited heavily not because of salons being named with specific locations revealed, but also because many of the posts should be PM's if they are intended for one person.
Please can I ask you to keep the thread generalised, or I shall have to close it.
Thanks.

I just think it is like the supermarkets. Some will shop in lidl and some will shop in waitrose.
Some will do a bit in both and some will never cross the others threshold.
I work my socks off, so if I take time away from the salon to have my hair done, I want to be loved and cosseted. I want a cuppa and moderately intelligent conversation. I want to leave with hair that people say "lovely colour" about, or "is that your natural colour?" - yeah natural highlights lol.
There is a market for them all, but we don't have to go there.
My brother was appalled to shop with me telling me everything is cheaper in xyz shop. I said I'd rather eat less and buy it from the shops I like and enjoy the experience and I guess that's the same for my hair.

I'm confused at the taking it to pm If the reply is aimed at one person, when you hsve a thread with lots of people participating it's very hard not to direct a comment to an individual,.
I've seen lots of generalised replies and it just confused people to whom the certain reply was aimed at, with lots of "was that to me" who was that for"
Plus as it's a joint big conversation, if each person replied in pm to another there would be no posts
