Christmas & Seasonal Opening Times: Christmas Eve: 9.30-2.00pm 28.12.2016: 9.30am - 8.00pm 29.12.2016: 9.30am - 8.00pm 30:12.2016: 9.30am - 8.00pm 31.12.2016: 9.30am - 4.00pm We reopen in 2017 on Wednesday 4th of January at 9.30am Normal service will resume thereafter.

That was quick. The landline number is now back in service. Bonus: we never have to deal with Chess again. *quietly whooping for joy*

We, at The Galleon, wanted to share our most recent experience with Chess Telecom, our "friendly" business telephone provider. Aside from the numerous times where we have had service interruption after service interruption, no apology, a computer glitch which has suspended our number from service, no apology, on one occasion it took them 5 weeks to persuade BT Openreach to repair a fault on our line, no apology, and the countless times we have had to have our incoming number diverted to a mobile phone for the duration, and no apology, aside from that, and our supposed Broadband Fibre which is almost slower than dial-up, everything's been just dandy, Daddy. Until today. We announced that, contract finally at an end, we had gone elsewhere and could they please send a final bill. Their response was to initially threaten to enforce an early termination fee. We pointed out that, well, we didn't actually have a contract anymore. In a further attempt to prevent us from switching over, they have now refused to transfer our existing number to our new provider and have refused to provide us service until the new provider comes online on 19th of October. The goodwill here is just overwhelming. We've all had to take to lying down in darkened rooms, with gin to soothe the nerves (Little Bird Gin of course!) Having spoken to our new provider, on our company mobile after Chess unceremoniously cut us off, we are pleased to discover that in fact we will be getting our usual number back in 2 weeks' time. Apparently BT has to request it and then reassign it to the new SP. In the interim, please visit our Facebook page or website for our temporary contact details. Customer Satisfaction Survey: Q: Would you recommend Chess Telecom to either friends or family? A: Hahahaha..... Hahahahaha....... no.

Update: the phone line is now perfectly OK again but our voicemail isn't working. The joys of technology. The Galleon Team.

To all The Galleon's clients who've been trying to get through to our landline for the past 24 hours, we have a fault on the line. Again. The number is still in service but we have no incoming calls, yet the internet is fine. Please email us for appointments [email protected] or contact us on Facebook. We have been assured by BT Openreach that our phone line will be back to normal on Friday, by lunchtime. Our most sincere apologies for this inconvenience. The Galleon Team.

Apologies for the inconvenience. *update* As of 2.30pm today the phone lines are now back on, along with a fully functioning card machine.

We are thrilled to welcome back the lovely Gunel Osman. She's originally a Vidal Sassoon girl, from back in the day. She was with us after we just opened in 2013 and left to join the Kooki team in Peckham. However, she has decided to come back to The Galleon, which makes us really happy. We love her dearly and she's a hot little hairdresser! She's a great technical stylist delivering really sharp cuts, the VS training on show with every snip of the scissors. She's with us every Thursday (until late) and every second Tuesday. We will be opening on Sundays from July 5th and Gunel will be happily holding the fort in the salon every other Sunday. Her prices are: ?50 for a Ladies' Cut and Finish ?35 for a Gents' Cut and Finish ?15 for children under 10. For Teenagers, please see the website. www.galleonhair.co.uk We hope to see you soon. The Galleon Team (and Gunel).

Dear Latinoqueen, thank you for your kind words. Have a great day in this gorgeous sunshine and we hope to see you back when you can! The Galleon

The Galleon, at 20 Forest Hill Road SE22 0RR, is currently looking for models for our trainee stylists. Modelling sessions are supervised by our most senior stylists and colourists so there is no danger of you going home with green stripes and an asymetrical buzz cut - unless that's what you've asked for. We are currently looking for women for one length bob cuts. Please either message via the forum or call reception and speak to James: 020 8613 1593
