Unpleasant experience at Box

Woollard
28th Apr 2023
2.0

Had a really unpleasant experience yesterday at Box. I have always loved having my hair cut and colour at Box. Harriett had cut my hair in March and it was perfect. Yesterday, I had the appointment with someone else for a tint to cover my grey. Admittedly, I had left it a few months as I had not had the time to get to the hairdressers, my grey roots were quite long. However, from the moment I had sat down, He started to make rude and sarcastic remarks about my grey hair making me feel disgusted at myself.
I did try to laugh it off as I couldn’t exactly walk out at the time, but inside I was feeling like rubbish. It was not just one comment, but he had made many comments throughout the appointment. I just couldn’t believe it. You should expect to feel great after the appointment and not made to feel like I did.
In my previous appointment when he had cut my hair, he had made a mistake on my fringe, when he did not listen to what I had asked for, yet I was still happy with him and had always left a tip. I have no idea why he was so nasty yesterday. Even when I was at the till, when I said goodbye, I could hear him sarcastically mumble see you in six months.
I know I was not a regular ‘every 6 weeks customer’ but I was still a customer and it should be my choice to go to the salon when I chose. I had paid for a service, and should not have been insulted like that. I wanted to make an appointment for a half head foil next, but I’m too scared to go back.
Thank Goodness there are many other good hairdressers in Basingstoke. I had previously recommended my daughter and a good friend to Box but I guess they won’t go there either now.
I did call the salon this morning to let them know how I felt, I was told that I was not the first one. Apparently, quite a few have made complaints about him. I wished I had known this before wasting my money and time!

Grace had me as her model for a cut, blow dry, straighten in March before a trip abroad. Hair cut was spot on, exactly what I asked for, and whatever she did to my hair to straighten it worked a treat, it stayed poker straight for a whole week!!!! Incredible, for a newbie, I was really REALLY impressed!!!! Thank you Grace!!!

Box Hairdressers is a very comfortable welcoming salon that makes you feel good from the moment you enter. All the staff are very professional, friendly and polite. They give you the time to explain what you want, don’t keep you waiting and make sure you feel comfortable at all times. The equipment is of the highest standard, you are offered a drink when you sit down and Mark, my stylist is always ensuring he understands and delivers what you want. I have spent 20yrs looking for a hairdresser who could give me the cut I’ve wanted and have finally found one. I expect my relationship with Box Hairdressers is going to be a long one!
