  • So happy! I really don't like going to the hairdresser. It's a chore, it's expensive, they keep trying to make my hair shorter, they try to sell me more shampoo and scold me for doing my own colour. Then to add insult to injury they ask if I'm going anywhere for my holidays and remind me that I'm not because I'm poor. Not this time though! I got a great TeamBuy deal for a wash, cut and style at Powder. I felt a bit nervous buying, to be honest, because the business is new and there weren't really any reviews to go on at the time. They had a Facebook page though and seemed friendly so I took a chance. The gamble paid off, as it turns out. First point in their favour? I was able to make my appointment by email. Responses were quick and there was no problem getting an appointment for 5pm on Saturday. I love that efficiency. The owner, Rafael, said he'd take me himself. I arrived just before 5pm and was greeted warmly. The salon is gorgeous: spotless, high ceilings and kind of a French retro style with black, white and red topped off with chandeliers. Everything was very tidy and the whole atmosphere was relaxed. We started with the consultation. Rafael really made an effort to understand what I wanted and how I style my hair (basically I don't) day to day. Then it was off for a wash from the lovely Peyton, complete with scalp massage and then back for the cut. I was not asked about vacations. Yes!! The conversation was interesting but not overwhelming. He cuts as if he has been doing it all his life and checked the length with me before he chopped. It feels short now...but what he took off needed to go, realistically. The blow dry was great. Lovely waves and very gentle. I think I nodded off at one stage. I loved the result and he actually sat me down to give me a quick tutorial on how to get the effect with my flat iron at home! Zero products pushed which was wonderful. I really cannot fault the experience. Sometimes salons make you feel like you're just not cool enough to be there. This was the opposite. I left feeling more like I'd been to some kind of spiritual retreat. There's a genuine friendliness and gentleness about the place that I don't think I've experienced before. Rafael is like you'd want your GP to be-he cares and listens. Peyton was an absolute pleasure. And my hair? Exactly how I wanted it.
