My son is five and autistic, we have been going to Katie Weeds for about a year and the two stylists who we normally see have been brilliant with him, very friendly and do their best to put him at ease and make him laugh. On our last visit, we had a new stylist who he wasn't familiar with and who didn't speak to him at all. My son became distressed and very nearly had a meltdown, however my partner calmed him and he stayed for the full appointment. After that, we tried to book appointments through their booking system, each one was rejected and then our account blocked. After I contacted them to see if there was an issue, the owner emailed me. Quite frankly her accusatory tone and lack of diplomacy was shocking. Not as I'd expect from a business like this. Looking through some of the responses to the reviews on here, I can see that we are not the only ones to receive this treatment. Rather than seek to understand the situation in depth, she accused my five year old son of being "abusive" and my partner of not supporting the stylist (his priority was ensuring my son was supported and to make him feel better, not the stylist). She made an appointment with the old stylist in some sort of effort to rectify the situation but I just can't continue to use a business that would rather vilify it's customers than understand them. I explained in an email about his condition and how he became distressed, this wasn't malicious attack on anyone as implied but the term "abusive"; this is a little boy trying to communicate how uncomfortable he was, but didn't receive any acknowledgement. It's a real shame after all of the hard work and the dedication of some of the salon staff. We have thankfully found a new Barber that appreciates their customers.

Great service for my unruly thick curly hair, Iona knew how to handle it which is so rare! Definitely found my new regular hairdressers.

Been going to Katie Weeds for a couple of years now. On Tuesday 29th August I had my hair cut and blow dried for the first time by Alice. Always wary of having a different stylist but my goodness what a brilliant job Alice did, so a big thank you. Also today I was walking through Ashbourne and a lady walked past me and then came running back to me and said " where do you get your hair cut? It is beautiful .I told her she had made my day so I hope Alice sees this compliment and it makes her day .

1st time I went yesterday on a friend's recommendation. Iona and I discussed what I wanted, my hair was washed, head massaged then cut exactly how I wanted. The styling was perfect

DO NOT USE THIS SALON UNLESS YOU WANT ONE SYLIST DOING ONE SIDE AND A DIFFERENT STLIST HIGHLIGHTING THE OTHER SIDE ALL WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION!Having used this salon for many years, I am very disappointed with my recent experience, following the lovely Laura being on maternity leave.I cancelled an appointment approximately three weeks prior to it and re-booked a new date. I then received two calls asking me if I could arrive half an hour earlier, to which I offered to rearrange a new date as I was not able to arrive any earlier. When I arrived, TWO stylists began highlighting my hair, one each side of my head. Just imagine the results had I let them continue! I had specifically requested a senior stylist for my appointment yet they wanted to make up for lost time!The stylist then did not leave my highlight colour in for as long as Laura always did. I mentioned this at the time to the stylist who assured me the colour had taken.It?s now 3 weeks following my appointment and my roots are so dark and now much more obvious that I rang and spoke to the owner who informed me that I would need to pay for it to be corrected and informed me that as ?I had not showed up for an appointment, ?it was swings a roundabouts?!!?I have never not showed up for any appointments during the 6 years I have been using this salon. I also very rarely write reviews, however, this experience has compelled me to do so.My reply to the below response is-I was happy when leaving the salon as my roots were lifted during blow drying. It wasn?t until three weeks later that the dark roots looked really bad (as they had lightened slightly but not as much as my hair below) Katie herself informed me during our call that it wasn?t yet four weeks, so this is therefore three weeks!I certainly did not arrive late for my appointment in fact I arrived two minutes early. I had been contacted by the salon a week or so prior if I could come half an hour early. I said no and offered to change my appointment to another time if necessary. I was assured to still arrive at the time arranged. I then received a book du appointment stating the earlier time. I rang the salon and again was assured that my original time was fine.I was at nO POINT informed that one stylist would be weaving one side of my head and another weaving the other side. That?s ludicrous and I don?t know anyone that would agree to this as one side could have thick stripes a the other side look more blended.I did not cancel any other appointments. However, I did receive several phone calls from the salon, a couple asking me again and again if I could come in earlier and another from a staff member apologising for their colleagues incompetence.You certainly did not squeeze me in. I?d booked the appointment a couple of weeks prior.I would have expected at least an honest reply to my review.This is the first review I have ever written as their incompetence is beyond bel!Service: Hair highlighting

I always get my hair cut by Danielle. My hair has a natural curl that is not easy to cut well. Danielle has taken the time to learn what works well with my hair and always makes sure I am happy. I was so pleased with her that I persuaded my partner to come to Danielle too and now she is 'his' hairdresser ?

I came for a patch 48hrs before. They also recommended a strand test. On the day Jo introduced herself. My hair had been neglected for a while due to illness. It had remnants of a red dye along with my brown /grey roots so she worked really hard and 1st lightened my hair. Then rinsed off and applied the colour adding Olaplex 0 and 3 my hair wasn't what I had in mind but it exceeded my expectations. Thank you. It looks and feels so much better.

I had my hair coloured today at the Allestree salon, staff were very friendly and welcoming . I went in the day as I was really unhappy with my hair from a previous salon. Amy sat me down made me feel comfortable and we discussed what she was going to do, she did a patch test and booked me in for the next day. After having my hair done by Amy I am thoroughly happy and will definitely be going back . Highly recommended this salon xxService: Hair coloring
