Trying out a new hair salon is always a bit of a risky game. Do you go somewhere a friend recommended, knowing that if you hate it you’ll harbour hair resentment towards them for the next eight weeks?

Or do you just stick with where you know, gritting your teeth through that ‘I love it’ smile at the end of every appointment?
