Advantages: Cheap.

Disadvantages: Everything else. Takes forever. And unreliable quality.

DO NOT GET A HAIRCUT FROM THESE PEOPLE! I can't urge you enough to stay away from the Toni and Guy academy for hair cuts. Unless you really don't care what your hair looks like. They totally messed up my hair and I would pay over 100 pounds to have it back to normal. Seriously. I didn't have the money to pay for a real hair cut at the time so thought I'd be thrifty, but now I have to live with this shit hair cut which will take well over a year to grow out.

The girl who cut my hair didn't seem to have any idea what the instructor was talking about, or to have every actually cut someone's hair before. The class was overbooked and so the instructor rarely came by to watch or make corrections. The girl kepts messing up and tried to fix it by cutting shorter and shorter layers. I distinctly told her that I prefered to grow out my layers, but I left with parts of my hair not even reaching my ears! All I wanted was a trim on the bottom and my one layer to be cleaned up so it could grow out more. Instead I walked away with about 50 varieties of uneven layers, and tears in my eyes.

Not only was the cut horrendous, looking like a blind person went at it with a knife, but the whole experience took 3.5 hours out of my life. They should be paying ME for my time, but I paid them 5 pounds.

I'm sure you can get a decent hair cut here if you are lucky and given to the right student, but there's no way of telling who you'll get, and you are taking a big chance on getting someone totally clueless. If you care at all about how your hair looks, do not go here. Save up the extra 20-30 pounds and get someone with actual tallent to make you look great.

Summary: I would pay 100 pounds to have not gone here.

well i must say I am sorry you had a bad hair cut but i have to agree with xtayx. I am also looking to get a haircut and have heard of hair models to be practiced on by trainees but I won't go to them even though they are much much cheaper because I want to have a good haircut. sometimes you get what you pauy for. Sorry :s

I have been with a Tony & Guy hairdresser for years - how a haircut turns out has got nothing to do with the salon, it's down to the individual hairdresser / stylist/colourist and mine happens to be perfect.

Hi. I am a trainee at toni & guy. i find it extremely strange "MalindaBalinda" ; why you expect to get a decent haircut from a TRAINEE for just FIVE POUNDS. what on earth were you thinking going there expecting to get style director quality when your being, frankly, PRACTICED on?!?!? if you want a nice haircut next time go to someone who is fully trained so you know what you are going to end up with. also did you not sign a model release form?? did something not make you think 'hang on, why should i be signing?' obviously not. if you sign its obviously showing that there is a possibility something may go wrong. i just hope you are extremely good at your job and you never mess up because GOD FORBID if you make a mistake one day, like everyone does. my full respect goes to this poor trainee who was probably panicking that something could go wrong probably a week before you even went in to her. what hope do i have now. i will be worrying that all people who come in for me are going to be just as horrible and nasty as you.

YOU DESERVE A BAD HAIR CUT!!
