Extremely high hair salon prices in ED!!!

[Finerthingsinlife]

British Colourist of the year in central london charge ?41 for a semi permanent and??131 for a full head of highlights..

East dulwich salons are charging ?50 for a semi permanent with thier top colourist and ?135 for a full head of highlights...

Wow.. How do ed salons justify those prices... Can you really compare yourself to the likes of the British colourist of the year???? I mean really!!!!?

[Peckhamrye]

Which central London salon is this?

[Loz]

There is a "British Colourist of the Year"??? Really?

Hobsalons.com

They are currently British hairdresser of the year, british colourist of the year and british artistic team of the year.

Just wondered how ED salons can justify prices higher than there's when they are not in the same league?Hob salon

Have you tried Village Way on Lordship Lane?

[Jeremy]

I too would like to recommend Hob Salon, British Colourist of the year 2011. Unlike the salons in East Dulwich, they will not leave you feeling crushed and devalued.

[Huggers]

have you tried kuki in Bellenden Road. They will leave you elated and nurtured.

[Lishyloo]

Because ed as its head up it's own a#se

[Loz]

I tried The Clipper on North Cross Road. They left me cut and dried.

[StraferJack]

I think you went to the chipper by accident Loz

xxxxxxx

Shingo at Kuki is the best cut I've ever had round here.

?40 for a cut, don't know what they charge for colour.

Never found a hairdressers I liked in East Dulwich over the past few years since I've been living here, until Kuki's on Bellenden Road opened up. Great hairdressers - half head highlights and cut ?100 (by Shingo). They have standard prices so no variations.

[MissB6]

I can recommend Fringe in Herne Hill... Ladies wash, cut & blow dry for ?32. Plus, the girls who run it are absolutely lovely.

Indeed, Christel Lundsqvist at HOB Salons did win Colourist of the Year at the 2011 BHA awards. BUT, don't think for one second that if you went to her you'd be paying ?41 for semi permanent highlights. That price would only be offered to you if you went to a junior colourist, and there are no guarantees that you'd get a better end result than if you went to a salon in East Dulwich. I agree that overall the general standard of service provided in ED could do with improving massively (ditto the customer service which can sometimes be DIRE) but the prices you pay here are not over the top. In comparison with most West End salons, they're 30-40% cheaper. You can argue that perhaps West End salons charge too much, but, as with many things in life, youz gets what youz pay for. As for HOB, book in with a senior/director level colourist and ask the price. It won't be cheap. And why, BTW, is HOB trawling for business in East Dulwich?

No the prices I put are the prices that the top senior colourists at hob charge, and all of them are trained by the colourist of the year, I'm not saying you will get her for that price but someone that had been fully trained by her...and still a top colourist.

My point was ed should not be charging more that great west end salons when they do not compare on the scale of ability nor customer service and experience yet are charging more than....

[El Pibe]

I get my hair done at osborne stewart for that ultimate crushed and devalued look

[Finerthingsinlife]

The top stylist prices are still cheaper than the best in ed..

Why is this? No one is trawling for buisness I am using them as an example BECAUSE they are current British colourist of the year so therefore highest respected current hairdressers in that field so something to compare to..

Could also use Toni and guy or Vidal Sassoon but they are not currently at the top in the bha awards yet still will all be lower priced than the highest price in ED this is my point..

It makes no s?ance

[hair2daygone2mrw]

OK, Hobsalons PR. As you are so keen to rubbish local salons here, name names! If you have issues with any salon(s) in East Dulwich in particular, tell us which one(s) and why. Having looked at your price list, obliging posted online, actually you ARE more expensive than many places locally. Seeing as the closest Central London Hob Salon would be Baker Street, I thought I'd give you their price list here OOPS. Cheaper than ED? FAIL.

[Finerthingsinlife]

Ok so it says that baker street is ?160 so ?30 dearer in this instant but still that technician would have been train ed by top dog... Still well worth it..

Your really missing my point... My point being in genral ed prices of the ?top? salOns are way too high...

Central Londonds rates will be through the roof so can understand them being expensive and most have the technical training to warrant their prices...

ED does nOt

And no I am not a hob pr ... I could have used many a salon to use as an example intact later I shall put tOgether a tally of highest I'm ed and the standard in central..

I explained my reasons for using them as a comparison..

I'm not sure which is sadder - the unfunny things featured on that site or the person that must spend a awful lot of time collating it.

[Finerthingsinlife]

Funny I must work for hob because I discuss them in relation to local salons.. Lmfao

If I now give Toni and guy salons prices will I also be working for them too.. I think if I was Hob pr I wouldn't be giving one price if another was available to be found.. I simpler googled their price list...
