It's all about Cissi!

May 08, 2008

My hairdresser, Cissi, recently moved from Hawkeye Hair to Salon 28 so naturally I followed her. So this review is more about Cissi than the actual salon but I will say the salon is simple with about 6 chairs, all leased from various stylists who do your wash as well as cut/colour; 2 wash sinks; a small counter with some hair products for sale; and a nail table in the basement. Nothing fancy; they’re all about hair.

Back to Cissi. As long as we both live in London, I will NEVER go to anyone else. I’m always cautious about saying never (“never say never.” Whatever!) but I’m serious here. When you find someone good you hold onto them. Haircuts and colour can (egotistically) make or break a person. I had my hair turned pink one time and was devastated for weeks, not to mention how damaged my hair was trying to fix it. So it’s safe to say Cissi is the one for me, or at least my hair. She’s awesome. She is honest and won’t compromise her integrity or your looks on a cut/colour that she feels won’t look good. She empathizes with you, seemingly to know what you want. And she cuts my fringe in between cuts for free! On top of that, she’s adorable, friendly and someone you look forward to catching up with. We’ve become friends which is a great thing. A lot of my friends go to her now.
