Best answers:

• Saks in Cardiff city centre, Working St, near the Castle and Burger King.
  Very good in there, trust them completly with my hair. Reasonable prices too.
• I'd recommend Neo, 39 Whitchurch Road Cardiff 029 20619636

  I have to admit that I've known Nia for years because we worked together before she went back to hairdressing as a stylist at another salon. She and Owen opened Neo over 2 years ago, and even my hairdresser-phobic husband loves to go there because the atmosphere is so friendly and relaxed.
  You can feel confident in going there and just asking for a change, or for "anything that will suit me" or for something more specific.
• Kelly at Zigi's, Newport Road, Rumney. Costs Ј20-Ј30. She's really good. Or, a bit more extravagant go to Ken Picton in Cardiff Bay, very good but I've not had my hair cut there so couldn't recommend a stylist, although I've heard many good reports, I just get my hair coloured at the training school (very cheaply).
• I must admit I was very disappointed with Ken Picton and wouldn't go back there.......in my view very overpriced simply because of location.
• i go to new dimension on whitchurch road, no. 94 i think. cheap and cheerful. I always end up leaving hating my hair, but it grows on me after a few days
• Experiences of salons can vary by stylist, taste and luck but my experiences of 'posh' salons haven't always been good.
  I found Saks over-rated - after charging me Ј50 for a quick and average cut where he acted like he was doing me a favour the stylist stood waiting for a tip (which he didn't get ).
  Years ago I tried Vidal Sasoon and paid a lot to be talked down to while being given a cut I said I didn't want. And they cut what they called 'split ends' out of my friend's relaxed hair, leaving her with an Afro back when they weren't fashionable.
  I got a good cut and decent service from Essensuals opposite Saks. Coray and Co in City Road also did a really good job.
  I now go to the Hair and Beauty Studio in City Road, where they're friendly, quick and good value.
  I don't think the cuts were a huge amount better in the pricey places I've been, just nicer surroundings. The worst cuts I've had were at Constantinou's.
  There are several salons in Cardiff with Good Salon Guide ratings, including Sands in Penylan, which I used to really like - https://www.goodsalonguide.co.uk/main.asp
  Hope that helps you choose, Chez - what do other people think?
• The Ken Picton Training School is in Cardiff Bay, near the multi storey car park. They only do hair on Monday's for the public. Tel: 029 20 662080, you have to ask for a Training School appointment. The charges vary, I pay between Ј15 and Ј20 for colour and highlights (I think it depends on how experienced the stylist is). I think a cut is Ј5. Beware though, they are very very very slow. You need to set aside about 4 hours for colour and cut. But they are very well supervised throughout and they keep good records of each visit. I recommend it for colouring especially. They are also very up to date.
  I hope that's helpful.
• Thanks for the info Always Poor, it will be really helpful!
• ive booked my appt for next monday thanks a lot always poor
• Head Candy in canton are good
• Hi, I go to Chocolate Pink on Whitchurch Rd Cardiff. They have a special promotion on at the moment, where you get a free Tigi hairapray if you spend more than Ј35, (ends 31st Aug). They're also starting a loyalty card scheme. I had a great new hairstyle and the staff are really enthusiastic and friendly.
• I used to always have my hair cut at a training school. Because they were cheap. And yes they are slow, but that is because the cutters ONLY cut once they've got approval from the trainer.
  Thanks for the lead that there's one in Cardiff.
  I desperately need a trim soonest, then streaking ... so this thread is invaluable. Quite a lot in my part of town too.
• La Zarou are a bit of a rip. Junior stylist for 11 quid. fair you get a wash and dry, and a bit of a shave, but the cuts crap!
• Hi
  There is also Coleg Glan Hafren's hair and beauty training college in Castle Arcade, across from the castle. I am going there tomorrow instead of Ken Picton who was getting very expensive for me. I shall let you know how it went.
• The Design Academy in Castle Arcade was very good. I had a 3rd year trainee and she was excellent. I had the colour done by the trainee and my hair cut by the manager as they were running a bit late. It is excellent and everyone was really friendly and all for a fraction of the price at Ken Picton. Result
• Jaspers in Pantbach Road, excellent cut about Ј20 ish caters for young and old.
• You should try Guy Christian on City Road, loads of free parking spaces and reasonably prices cuts. If you want a really good all over colour, either perm or semi-perm, if you phone and ask for Tim to do it, you'll only get charged between Ј10 - Ј15!!! (That's my fiance who is currently training as a colourist) and he does an awesome head massage and blow dry! guychristian.com 02920473073
