From: Really? Category: Reviews of worldwidereview Date: 11 June 2008 Time: 09:49 AM Review: I wasn't very pleased with the whole experience. Yes, the place looks really cool and a great effort has been made to fit within the Spitafield's arty-farty vibe. The lighting is dime (thanks, seriously) and a beer is included in the price. It has to be said also that that staff are incredibly approachable and unpretentious (do u heard that Tony&guy's?) which is a rare virtue for the industry. But it has great flaws, unfortunately.. Firstly, accept that beer, you'll need; the place either lacks air con or the constant use of hairdryers makes it really really hot and nearly unbearable. I was sweating, my hairdresser was sweating and my beer was warm within minutes. Secondly, and my main issue, they seem unable to style/conceive any hair style beyond the 50s and 60s which I find singular given the market's trend for senseless asymetric haircuts. Whereas I find this appealing to some extent, I specifically indicated that I iron my hair 'poker flat' and the hairdresser noted that my hair type was prone to gain incredible amounts of volume when blow dried only.. I left the place sweating, itching and looking like a comedy 60's housewife.
