Choeur

Hi Gals,

I'm working at Shenton Way area, and I been to Choeur Hair Salon a few times for their hair services. At first I was attracted to the salon ambience as I walked passed one day. I think Sleeksilhouette is refering to Tony, he is also my hairstylist. Tony is the best hairstylist I'm with so far, or else I wouldn't have gone back to him....until he left the salon around June/July 2009. I was shocked and upset about it. I tried asking the staffs at the salon for his contact, but they refuse to tell me and persuaded me to stay on with the salon and they will give me a special discount. The salon soon changed its name to Hairclub 52. I decided to try my luck with the director, but I didn't like the way he do my hair, so after 1 try, I give up. I don't mind paying high charges for hairdo, but I always make sure what I paid for is worthwhile. Sans Serif, I think you should clarify this as this will affect someone's business if you only mentioned the salon's name and not the hairstylist. I remember they only changed the salon name around August/September 2009 which was my first visit. Sleeksilhouette, do you know where is Tony working now? Did he set up a new salon somewhere? If possible please give me his contact no. Thank you!!

I must say I was impressed when I first stepped into this salon for a regular wash, blow-dry and haircut. The stylists looked polished and I felt as though I'd found a new salon that I could frequent. I did have a good conversation with the lead stylist, but sadly it could not make up for the lack of skill - I wasn't too pleased with having my hair being painfully tangled up in a brush while it was being blow-dried. It took a good 3 minutes to get my hair untangled. This was appalling as I had gone in with very smooth silky hair and emerged from the salon with dry, stiff hair. It was a disappointment that I paid $70 for.

On another occasion, I went in to see if I could purchase a couple bottles of Schwarzkopf shampoo and conditioner and to my utter disgust, I was turned away by one of the stylists tending the counter. He advised me to purchase a cheaper range from a "cheaper neighbourhood place". My attire for that day was casual, as it was a friday. But I didn't see that as being a valid reason for snubbing a customer.

I think some neighbourhood salons do a better job of welcoming customers with courtesy and good manners, and they are just as skilled, if not better. I'll not be stepping into Choeur again anytime soon...
