RUSH Hair

This place is quite expensive but if you re-​book it’s 25% cheaper. I walked out of here satisfied as the girls listened to what I was after in terms of my colour. For my haircut I didn’t do anything drastic, just a trim so wasn’t disappointed. Overall it is quite expensive but a safe option if you’re after somewhere you can trust. Would recommend it if you can get a discount but for full price you can probably get the same level of service and similar result elsewhere for less.

This review is for the new Strand branch.
Clean and funky looking, this salon has an especially nice hair washing area with coloured mood lighting. I was offered the usual drink and magazines, but agree with Michelle T that the junior staff were pretty robotic.
I never pay much to have my hair cut, and I consider £50 far too much for a wash and trim, but if you quote ‘online 50% off’, it’s a good deal.
I was going to give an ‘a-​ok’ review, but reading Michelle’s reminded me that I too got a different haircut to the one I asked for, and that although it worked out well for me, that is not actually a fine way to run a hairdressing business. Because I left with half price snazzy hair I just smiled to myself at the stylist’s arrogance, but thinking about it, how dare he make it up as he went along, without consulting me!
Also, the receptionist was pretty pushy about trying to make me sign up to a loyalty card, and looked at me as if my refusal (which I had to give 3 times) was weird. I was not impressed that they used my mobile number, given to secure the booking, to subsequently bombard me with marketing texts.
So, as long as you are up for a surprise, go here for the 50% off deal. Otherwise, it’s just an expensive central London chain, which I suspect is only of any real interest/​use to people who work nearby.
