Went to Angel Hairdressers today behind Park House Hotel!

Cut, colour (semi perm+ highlights)... wait.... 65 euro!

And I am so happy, especially especially with the cut and I am never paying 60 euro again just to get my hair cut. It's madness!

The girls there were so so nice, and she even suggested getting my eyebrows tinted to match- guess it helps that there is a beauty salon there as well. They were doin a girl's nails there and they looked gorgeous.

This place is a real find.

Thanks to everyone for posting about it. I'm sticking with them from now on.

Glad to hear it went so well! For anyone else considering going, I would strongly advise booking ahead as there have been a few times when they are booked out...there are two girls who do the hairdresser (fondly called Big Basha cos she's tall and little Basha...but recently they call themselves Barbara, probably to help us Irish with the pronunciation or something!)
Personally I prefer the Big Basha altho she has very little English but gives a super cut.

I've gotten a manicure and tints etc done there too and it's fantastic. going for my first colour with them too next week so will update :0

Ah if you're getting a colour can I suggest you say which you need- permanent or semi permanent, as Big Basha had presumed I had wanted permanent, and I thought she was doing semi-perm. I completely forgot to ask for semi perm as I'm so used to being asked by the hairdresser first.

But that's not a criticism.. just an oversight really and the colour turned out brilliant.

Can't believe I'm posting so much about this, but they really deserve to get word around. she did say some days are really busy, other days quiet.
Then again they are only there a year so I guess it'll definitely pick up.

when i moved to galway i got my hair done in one place (no names mentioned) but she done a awful awful job so i know how nervous it can be!! after that time i decided to go with a reliable company that i used to always love in sligo.... so off to peter marks in terryland i went.

result: iv gone back 3 times, always get the same girl too shes fab, cant spell her name at all but she is from thailand and is fantastic. i asked for a certain length and she said straight away it wouldnt suit me and recomended a diff length and it was amazing, she knows exactly what she is doing and is very nice. think its around about 40 yo yos for wash cut and blow dry which isnt bad if u know your not going to be disapointed!:)

Yes i have done a search but can't find any recent recommendations :P I'm not happy with my current hairdresser and want to try somewhere new, mainly for a good cut, somewhere they'll pretty much do what you want but with helpful suggestions - any place that fits the bill?

Hi yes, know exactly what you mean, would also like to get a really good recommendation from someone who knows, wondering if anyone can recommend a salon in Sligo ? Much appreciate it !

Should prob be a new thread for this rather than hijacking the galway one but in Sligo I can recommend Rossana's on high street or Cephalo's on Quay Street.

Could someone recommend which of these hairdressers in Galway would be the best for a guy to get a cut?

Is Ronan the main guy in Toni & Guy? If so I went to him a couple of years ago and he made a complete hames of my hair

It is totally subjective but i figured if at least a few people went for the same place I might get a better idea So far it seems to be Momento and Velvet -although the negative one for Velvet probably cancels out the positive vote

I had the worst experience with that Ronan Patterson in Toni&Guy Galway. They turned my hair from blonde to green. I went back to get it sorted and there was a girl called Marcella there to and they so much as told me I was seeing things and they didn't do it!!! I got my coulour done on the Friday and I went back on the Tuesday. They told me they didn't do it someone else must have......Like hello!!! Ronan told me to **** off out of the place and back to my own hairdresser he wasnt going to sort it!!! I am very upset and horrified!!! Customer Service is nothing in this place and he should be shut down for what he said. Does anyone know what I could do to complain about this?? I spent 200 euro and they even tried to charge me when i went back to try and fix it and left me go out the door with my hair wet!!

Hello,

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced hairdresser in the portabello, rathmines, grafton st, camden st area? I usually go to ultimate in the GPO arcade but have had enough. I usually get a full head of highlights and a cut, iv got this same treatment done in various hairdressers and it usually takes 2hrs. In ultimate you could be there for 3 and a half! It compleatly takes over your day, the service is terrible, they can not multitask between customers, you also have to hand the hairdresser the mesh paper which I hate doing as i go to the hairdressers to relax and read magazines etc. The cut is only ok and they tell you about a special offer when you book the app but when you go to pay it always costs way more!

Enough ranting. Can anyone recommend somewhere?

Thanks

What a horrible experience for you! You deserved your money back or for them to fix it for you free of charge. Did they fix it for you? If they didn't I would demand a full refund or threaten them with solicitor action. If they did fix it, chalk it down to experience i.e. never go back!

Does anyone know if that Naturelle place in Dorset Street is still open ? Their website seems to have gone down.

I am looking to have the Kerstraight 12 week blow dry done there but if anyone knows of other places that do this treatment (reasonably cheap) I'd be glad to hear - thanks

happyeveryday

Hi Monkeyboots, not sure if any of the hairdressers / locations suit you but type blow dry into the quick finder on www.thatsagreatoffer.com, there are a few places with current offers, but i'll email a few more tomorrow and get them all up to date.

PS fiolee same for you for south city are!

Sparki

Any Northsiders on here, I got my hair done in Salon Viva in Balbriggan and I have to say, I was very impressed. It recently got done up- entirely new and modern inside and I think they are one of the only salons around to be using the new Loreal ammonia free dyes, (which if you have thin or easily damaged hair like me you need!!)
Thought I would let you know, because I rarely come home from a salon happy!!

Sandra, who is at David Martin's in Knocknacarra is a brilliant cutter. She's the first stylist in Galway who's actually listened carefully to what I wanted, and cuts accordingly, no mean feat with curly hair. Well worth a visit!

Just so you know...I was thinking of going to this hairdressers to get my blonde hair coloured...I am very grateful you put this up so that I now know def. not to go there ever.
I am sure you have helped many other people choose to go elsewhere to have their hair coloured. Just goes to show...it's worth treating people well, and learning to apologise when you have made a mistake!! Hope you can take solace in this!

Hi all,
Great thread. Just wondering if anyone knows what Angel are like at colouring, highlighting etc. as most people seem to be praising their cuts, and I'm just wondering if they would be good for colour.
I must admit I am very fussy about my hair colour ( but would get over a bad cut, for some reason), and would be very grateful if anyone could tell me if Angel are good at colouring/highlighting blonde or if they could recommend someone else in Galway or Mayo for same. Thanks a million!:D

I've been in to Toni & Guy several times, Ronan always cuts my hair. Lovely chap, excellent stylist, always delighted with the result ... think you missed out bigtime not going in there. Don't always believe what you read!
