I've got really thick, unruly hair and am generally rubbish at managing it and found it hard to to find someone who cut it well. It always looked blocky or too fussy and was time consuming. He found me a style that I can manage well but looks really good natural too.

For instance I know a few people who rave about Picassos yet my most recent experience(about 2 years ago) there was awful. Friends booked me in for a treat the day of my hen and I left looking like a 1980s bridesmaid! A couple of other places I've tried in town on and off but not regularly were Solo(not bad and cheaper than The Edge), Darcys(good but always seemed to waiting for ages despite having an appointment). I keep going back to The Edge. There probably are cheaper places but I've yet to find somewhere I've been consistently as happy with the results. A friend of mine with wavy hair recommended John Geaneys lately too. A girl in work swears by Origin.

I got a wash cut and blow dry - got a wavy blow dry so I did not know what the cut was like until i straightened my hair myself - very "cut" looking - not soft enough for my liking,.. and my blow dry was very poor - was done way too fast - my hair was fuzzy afterwards - maybe just a little but it was defo fuzzy but the time i got home and i was going out that night… not sure if i will be back.. and the hair dresser was very distracted - colleagues kept talking to him about work issues while he was doing my hair… not enough attention on the job or time.. but of a conveyor belt.. but regardless of all of that - the cut if not the best.. maybe it would have been better had he spent more time and with more attention, on me… thanks for the recommendation though.. think I wil try Rukhi next - on tuckey street - anyone ever tried them?
Roesy wrote: » That's annoying, feel bad for the recommendation now! Have honestly had only good experiences. Was in there Friday myself and again am happy out. Heard good things about Rukhi a couple of years ago And Guapa on the same street but haven't heard anything too recently. Saying that, I haven't been on the lookout for a new hairdresser.

She cuts it just right, knows exactly what to do with difficult hair and isn't afraid to tell you where you are going wrong. Not cheap but worth every single cent. She transformed my hair.
sporina wrote: » hi thanks - no not tried him - i see that they have 3 salons in cork? so how does one get an appointment with Wayne himself? Which salon is he based in? and how much for a wash cut and blowdry - long hair?
