    If you want the official answer to your question it would be Hype Hair and Urban Hype (Depending on your age and style preference). They do more training than a soccer team and have won more awards than Michael Jackson.

    I go to the sculpting studio at superquinn. Always do a lovely job and often have offers on (% off highlights etc.) I wouldn't go anywhere else :)

    I'm going to back out of this post before I blow a fuse, what is it with hype and age ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    Well I dont work there next but I presume urban hype is for the slightly younger generation. Seeing as though they have consoles and Internet etc in their very youthful looking salon.

    Do you work in foxychopper which would explain why such a trivial thing would make you want to blow a fuse?

    We should be proud that Waterford has such advanced hair salons that easily upstages the likes of Peter Mark. You just sound like someone with an axe to grind tbh.

    Got my hair cut in urban hype for the 2nd time on New years eve, found them great, the girl was lovely and I'm delighted with my hair! She was a total perfectionist (i would be nervous about leaving people at my hair!)

    My boyfriends mam got her hair done there before Xmas and she found them great too, so age doesn't matter. They gave both of us €10 vouchers that can be used in January.

    It probably doesn't. I was only guessing really. As mentioned above...Urban Hype obviously caters for all ages.

    Have to agree, Hype is pretty much just a lot of hype. There are one or two decent hairdressers in there but you have to know who you're looking for and ask specifically, like everywhere else. It's a salon and like every other salon not all hairdressers there are as good as the next one. Some are better stylists some are better at colour and the list goes on.
    With Hype you have the option of choosing between a junior or qualified hairdresser, the difference is reflected in the price you pay but more often than not you're just offered whichever one of them is available and as higher paid staff aren't always available you get whoever is.

    As for the age thing, that's a load of bs. It's not a reflection of a good hair salon if all that's available is what's currently trending because that's all the juniors have learned to cut yet.

    Foxy chopper have won many awards over the years too and I know the guy personally and he's a great guy but it's still pretty much a trending salon and that's not what I'm looking for.

    I used to use Lloyds in Patrick St because I knew who could do the best job on my hair but she's opened her own salon outside town and it's not as accessible anymore.

    There's an asian salon opened up recently on broadstreet an I've been there twice. The guy is great, I have fairly short hair so it needs to be cut regularly and he does it perfectly. Despite my age (36) he manages to keep it fresh. The other places want me to leave looking a bit more mumsy..because that's all they can imagine.
    (the asian guy spikes it and I leave with a mohawk ;))
