My Review

10 out of 10 stars
I don't normally write reviews (and I categorically have no connections to the owners or staff of this place) but I was really delighted at what I found to be a brilliant service.
Before I even went I found the staff to be genuinely pleasant and really very helpful on the phone, making recommendations & even changing an appointment at the last minute without any fuss at all. When j got there I found my stylist (Georgia, I think she was called) to be pleasant and helpful. Informative without being pushy or coercive with the products they had on offer in particular. Most importantly it was the best cut I've had in a very long time! A real tidy up. I liked the fact that suggestions were made (I usually have vague, rather than strong ideas when it comes to my hair) and I could see the effort going in to make sure the cut was precise and clean looking.
I don't understand the other reviews - some of them sound a bit princessy (who demands to blow dry their own hair at a salon?! Jese - but I'm glad I didn't read them beforehand. I went with a Groupon offer but will happily return and pay full price.
If you want to be over charged for stainless steel, soulless design features and pretentious drinks, go to some swanky place in central (or better still, a bar). If you can live with a salon that doesn't have tropical fishtanks and massage chairs, but more of a "homey" feel and a good old fashioned decent hair cut, then I highly recommend Ocean.
