Salons are a tricky business.

While a salon visit is MEANT to be relaxing, there’s nothing worse than shelling over extortionate cash for a service not done right, a bad hair cut, nails that chip quickly, an uncomfortable wax job.. and don’t even start on bad brows!

Having a good salon in your books is key…  And this list rounds up a whole host of salons, whether you need a mani-pedi that won’t cost an arm and a leg, the updo of all updo’s, lashes for days or the all-rounder salon experience, bookmark this list for pay day.
