El Hair & Beauty Studio Trafalgar Road, County Wicklow A63 NC04

"Eileen & her crew at El hair never dissapoint - beautiful aveda products used throughout all treatments, I would highly recommend."

"Our hotel shower wasn't working, so the studio fitted me in for a hair wash & blow immediately. Such a friendly service and a fantastic job. Even offered to lend my husband their burn cream as his skin condition flared up with the scalding shower (he says thanks so much, and hope you found it when we returned it!) Excellent service and would highly recommend."

"Great service and hair felt so healthy after was so happy with my hair cut"

"Lovely place! I dyed my hair here and Im happy with the result. Will definitely come again!"

"Really bad experience in El Hair & Beauty Studio. Disappointed that I was overcharged for a haircut that I didn't request at the time of booking . When I phoned E Hair I was quoted €110 for a full head of highlight so I thought it seemed reasonable so why now..During the initial consultation with a junior stylist (who works 2 days a week) I was asked if I would like my hair cut as my hair was long and in need of a trim so and I though why not. No price was quoted and no price list available in store but unfortunately I made the mistake of not asking the price simply because I have only ever been charged (sometimes not as it's a 2 minute job to trim the ends) between €20-40 when it's in addition to another service (highlight). The salon itself seemed was very quiet and I was only client there for approximately 3 hours on what should have been a busy Thursday afternoon. I was also left alone for on several occasions in the salon approximately 30 minutes whilst the colour set and the hairdresser and the manager went upstairs for their coffee break..Had a few customer looking for them so I had to tell them that they were upstairs etc etc.. I requested a trim and we agreed on cutting 1-2 inches from the ends but unfortunately she got carried away as some hairdresser do and took at least 4 inches off my hair!!!! Even my 12 year old son was shocked when he saw me later that day. The colour was OK..nothing special. At the end I went to pay and the manager quoted me approximately €225 for highlights (€110), Trim (€65) which only took less than 5 minutes and also a conditioner. I ended up having to pay €175 for a haircut and colour!!! Never ever had to pay so much before for a trim that took no more than 5 minutes to complete..I No online presence and no prices displayed. Very disappointed and will not be returning again. Have just seen the comments from the manager below and want to point out the following: I rarely ever review services online not unless I have had a negative experience and want to advise others as it may be of benefit to another potential client. Please see this as an opportunity for you to improve the service you provide to the public and ensure you client are advised in advance of the costs involved (No hidden charges please- nobody wants surprises when it comes to payment!!!). My suggestion would be to have the price list displayed in an area that is visible to the clients. Have an online presence and accept that not everyone is going to give you glowing reviews but that it's an opportunity to improve your service. Have been to El hair studio before (last time was probably 3 years) and unfortunately I was never very happy with the end results (remember having to return and trust me I avoid this if I can as lead a busy life ) but sometimes you have to give them a 2nd chance..my case several but not again."
