Need a brilliant hairdresser in Herts

[Pennies]

I'm starting chemo next month and currently I've got longish hair. I've been told that because my hair is quite thick and there's a lot of it then the best chance of stopping it from falling out is to get it cut short.

I have been going to a local salon where the experience is nice but TBH the cuts are average.

Because this is a radical style change for me and because I want to look and feel as good about it as I can considering the circumstances then I really want a lovely cut.

Can anyone suggest a really brilliant salon. I"m in the middle of Herts (Welwyn Garden City) so anywhere goes really.

Wilde About Hair in St Albans - ask for Ray - have been going to him for 12 years (he used to own the salon but sold it and now just rents a chair) Absolutely brilliant cut every time.

Thanks - do you long or short hair? I just looked on their site and most pics are of ladies with lovely long hair.

Anyone tried Sanrizz in St Albans at all?

Sorry - do you have long or short hair?

Ignore the web site Ray isn't employed by the salon - just rents a chair these days. He used to own the salon as an independent called Sunshine, but sold it. I used to have long hair and had it cut into a bob for years - of varying lengths. I now have a softer style - shoulder length, with layers for the first time.

I have been to other salons, but always went back to Ray as nobody could provide me with such a good cut as him.

Sanrizz - have never been there. I get the impression they are not doing very well - lots of dirt cheap offers etc - but they are hidden away a bit.

I'd suggest Sue Watson at Greys either in Hitchin or St Albans. She's the owner and cuts Weds in Hitchin and other days in St Albans. She's very nice- I have been going there for years. She's been cutting hair for around 25 years +.

They have a website , i think it's www.greyshairdressing.com
