Of all of the hairdressers I have visited in my lifetime, I can safely say they have all fallen into the 'watery tea or instant coffee' category when it comes to beverages to sip on in the chair. Invariably so hot that by the time it's drinkable, it's almost time to leave.
So when I was offered a glass of champagne upon settling into my seat at The DryBar, as well as the usual soft drinks, I could tell the experience was going to be a little bit more glamorous. The salon has just opened as part of H Beauty at Cribbs Causeway, a Harrods brand, and is one of only five in the country.
I shamefully confess that I've never stayed loyal to one particular hairdresser - I tend decide on a whim when I'm in need of a cut, and either pick one based on availability that day or whichever one is offering a good deal on Groupon or Treatwell. Honestly, if I'm just after a quick trim, sometimes I'll just pick up a pair of scissors myself and hope for the best.
