Teejay H This was my first time at Halston, and I was very much looking forward to it as it had great reviews. The woman at the front, I believe it was Chelsea, was very lovely and kind. However when my hairdresser came over she did not introduce herself or ask my name, she just went straight into the conversation about my cut and seemed a bit hostile. The seats where the sinks are are not made for tall people so it was a smidge uncomfortable. I attempted to make conversation with my hairdresser during the appointment as I had had a somber day and had been looking forward to some pointless girlie chit chat, but my hairdresser was quite unresponsive when I asked her general questions (about her job, if she’d been doing it long etc.) and she didn’t reciprocate - I guess she was probably concentrating on my haircut so I didn’t press too much but it meant I had to kind of melt back into my own shitty day. Overall I was happy with my haircut however I had asked the girl to start by making my face-framing pieces longer and then I can confirm if I wanted them shorter. She did not do this and made them super short straight from the start, I walked out with practically a long fringe which is not what I desired or had shown her. There was no application of hair oil or anything after she had finished styling and my hair felt really dry, but she did pop in some hairspray when I asked but it didn’t do much. It all felt a bit rushed, though I appreciate it looked quite busy in there. As much as there were a few housekeeping things I didn’t enjoy, I still had a nice enough time and the price was really great so I shall be returning, but maybe to a different hairdresser next time (the cookies are really good too!) - I note I didn’t mention the hairdressers name as she seemed to have great reviews from other people so I assume she was maybe just having an off day.
