If you dread a visit to the hairdressers like a visit to the dentist - I've found the perfect salon for you.Today's top treatment is a cut and colour at Electric Hairdressing Salon.
Read my review to see how I got on.
THE TREATMENT:

WHAT’S INVOLVED?
I dread visits to the hairdresser. I have dark blonde hair that I occasionally highlight and leave to grow out resulting in a slight two-tone effect. I have, in the past, had my head burnt by a very well-known salon and had my hair dyed a drastic shade of dark brown that left me in tears. But I am always too polite to complain (yes, even when my head is blistering underneath my hair). On arrival at Electric, I was whisked to a seat and given a thorough consultation about what I wanted. I gave my usual response of wanting to look like Sienna Miller in Alfie (obviously) and a slightly more low-maintenance plan was devised.

I took my usual stash of three magazines in case of unwanted small talk, but ended up chatting away throughout the long colouring process, without a mention of upcoming holidays or the weather. I usually 
detest having my hair washed, but was treated to the most amazing head massage. The cut and blow-dry was carefully done - with lots of checking I was happy (I genuinely was - not my usual polite yes).

THE VERDICT:
If you see a visit to the hairdressers as a real luxury then Electric is for you. You can expect attentive service, tailored style advice and as many cups of coffee (or glasses of wine) as you'd like. Meanwhile, if you usually dread a salon visit, be assured that Electric will take good care of you - they did me.
