I had never been to Toni and Guy before. They are a franchise chain of hairdressing salons in the UK like Vidal Sassoon who I have tried once. Vidal Sassoon salons use a strange blow dry technique and no round brushes so that didn’t work so well for me. This time I decided to give Toni and Guy in Market Harborough a go.

The prices, range from £60 for a cut and blow dry up to £120 for director level. I opted for somewhere in the middle.

The salon I went to was small, narrow and very busy so it was noisy and people were bumpy into each other when they tried to go to the toilet which wasn’t ideal.

I asked to use my own products which wasn’t allowed. Lots of bigger salons I have found won’t let you use your own products.

I have a caw flick which needs extra attention, and the stylist wasn’t the best listener so I ended up with an OK cut but my problem area was still a problem area unfortunately when I left.

I’d say OK service for an OK price if you don’t have any specific requirements and don’t expect a lot of care and attention.

It’s an in and out place. Get them in and get them out. Not the sort of place to build a relationship with your stylist.

Toni and Guy is a franchise based business. Which basically means every one is independently owned but operating under the “Toni and Guy” brand. So you have no idea whether the person running the shop is a good hairdresser or a bad one. A friend of mine goes to Toni and Guy in Cheltenham and she couldn’t be happier with her stylist.

I’d say at Toni and Guy unless someone has recommended it’s a bit hit and miss.
