Marc James Hairdressing

My locks are akin to Rapunzel’s — I’ve been growing my hair for years. There’s nothing quite like a visit to a new hairdresser that can terrify the long-​haired client. There have been times when I have emerged from an establishment and wanted to cry and wear a paper bag. A gal’s hair is after all, her crowning glory.
I was certainly gun-​shy until I found Marc of Marc James Hairdressing. He listened, really listened. Together we agreed on a plan and Marc stuck to it without hacking away too many precious centimeters. For the first time in many years I left a salon feeling happy and glam — Marc is a hair guru.
The icing on the cake is that this salon is very reasonably priced — a six weekly visit is not going to see you penniless. Unlike most salons who slap on various surcharges for long hair, this team operate in the real world and charge very fair prices.
The ambiance and décor is Parisian chic with a classical feel — it is simply a beautiful space with an elegant vibe. The shampoo chairs are like über comfy lazyboys, ensuring you won’t lock into spasms by the time your wash is over. To top off your experience, they offer a decent range of beverages to enjoy while you are pampered (including a darned great coffee brewed as it should be).
I found this salon through word-​of-​mouth and in the tradition of ‘pay it forward’ I have sent many of my clients to Marc James. Every single one of them were as thrilled as I was.
Be sure to book in advance as Marc is understandably popular.
