Cut and Blow Dry at Francesco Group, Birmingham

I recently visited the Francesco Group Hairdressing Salon which is located in the House of Fraser store in Birmingham for a cut and blow-dry. 

The staff were really friendly to both me and my friend, who came along to keep me company. I waited for just a short while to be seen, and was offered a drink which is always nice. The salon looks very modern and well equipped, definitely somewhere I would visit again.

I have dull, dry and damaged hair which looks lifeless a lot of the time, so I was looking forward to seeing what they could do with my hair.

My stylist was James, who asked me what hairstyle I was hoping for. I told him about my hair looking limp and lifeless and he suggested to take a few inches off, and to add a slight fringe and adding layers. This is exactly what I wanted, I didn't want to take much length from my hair. He then asked another hairdresser (who for the life of me I can't remember her name, but she was really lovely!) to wash my hair. After I had my hair washed, James then cut a few inches from my hair, and started to cut in layers. James was really friendly and chatty and gave great advice of how to achieve a more natural but voluminous look at home. After he had cut and blow-dried my hair, he used serum and hairspray to set more of a natural look, which is just what I wanted. 

I received great customer service from the team at Francesco Group, Birmingham. I was really happy with my hair cut - they cut my hair exactly how I wanted it and gave helpful advice on how to style my hair in the future. If you are local to Birmingham, I really would recommend visiting the hairdressing salon. I will definitely be returning there again as I am really happy with the results and am even thinking about going back to possibly change the colour of my hair!

Just in time for Mothers Day, Francesco Group are offering a £45 gift card, perfect for gifting that special Mum or Gran of yours with a little pampering - complete with a yummy box of chocs!

A Visit to The Hair Surgery, Wollaston, West Midlands

Last weekend I headed to The Hair Surgery; Tim Scott - Wright's hair salon, which is located in Wollaston, Stourbridge, in the West Midlands, for a cut and blow-dry.

On arrival, I met Andreas; the Salon Manager, who greeted me with a huge smile. Andreas, Tim and the team were all friendly and lovely to talk to, as well as being very attentive and thoughtful. The staff really are a credit to The Hair Surgery, because they give excellent customer service. 

The hair surgery has beautiful interior decor; being very modern and monochrome, it really is stunning. What stands out for me is the beautiful 'waiting lounge' as I would describe it, which is an area in the Hair Surgery with a comfy seating area, a table covered in magazines, a beauty corner where you can paint your nails while you wait, and also a self serve unit where you can help yourself to drink and nibbles - how thoughtful is that?!
It really is stunning - I would definitely recommend visiting if you live in the Midlands, as, as well as the fantastic customer service, the attention to detail throughout the entire salon's decor and layout is so on - key, it looks luxurious and is definitely perfect for a pamper.

The stylist who styled and cut my hair, Abbie, was really lovely. I explained to her the kind of cut I wanted and how I felt my hair was quite limp and lifeless at the length it was at the time. She gave me plenty of tips and tricks on how to get more volume in my hair with blow-drying, and also explained to me as she styled my hair how the products she was using helped to give the hair a lift and create a lot more volume. Since visiting The Hair Surgery for my cut and blow-dry, I have been putting into practice the tips I was given at the Salon and I am really impressed - I can finally create a look at home which gives my hair much more volume - something I have struggled to achieve in the past.

I loved the cut that I had at The Hair Surgery. I love the volume and curls that the stylist created on my hair. I must also point out that the day I had my hair cut was a day that the weather took a turn for the worst with torrential rain - and my new hair do survived it!




Thank you to Andreas and Tim for the opportunity to visit the Salon for an experience day!
