I’d like to think of myself as quite an outgoing and friendly kind of girl, but when it comes to the hairdressers I really hate making idle chit chat. It’s so banal and dull that I sometimes make things up to keep the conversation alive. «I’m moving to New York next week… I’m in training for the marathon at the moment… I’m getting married next month». This is why I cannot go back to the same hairdressers more than once. So why I needed my locks tamed, Reflections on Queen’s Road was next on my hit list. Friendly hairdresser? Tick. Head massage? Tick. Boring conversation? Tick. The hairdresser seemed like she understood exactly what I wanted and started snipping away. It looked fantastic until she insisted on making in poker straight and flat against my head. Two washes later and a whole lot of hairspray and I was very happy with my new do.

I went for a haircut and that’s exactly what I got! The staff were pleasant enough and were chatty, asking questions about your life and holiday plans. I know a lot of people get annoyed by this but I have several friends who are hairdressers and after them explaining to me how dull their day is, I can understand why they want some sort of conversation to distract them. They did a decent cut, although I was only asking for a trim so I probably didn’t stretch their hairdressing talents. Its also in a convenient location in the centre of Bristol. Not much parking mind you.

A teensy bit on the chavvy side and you may well come out of there with the same hairstyle as all the stylists that work there — super, super straight, choppy layers, side swept fringe and a streak of blonde. If that’s not what you’re after, it may take some explaining that you want to keep your curls/length/natural colour. They use GHDs and GHD products which is a bonus, plus they’re open until 8pm on a Thursday — perfect if you work late or at the weekends. Inside, this one looks just like all there other salons in the city. Inoffensive, but not the place to go if you want a complete restyle.
