This place should be closed down.it is dirty and the staff are rough and rude. Whilst having my eyebrows threaded, which were completely hacked, the staff were talking about the manager messing up someone's eyebrows. Very unprofessional. Then I had my waxing, the lady was clearly in a bad mood and was rough with me ordering me to keep my legs still. She left wax on me and said she couldn't take it off because the manager had not stocked the right equipment. I then saw the manager and told her that people are treated like animals. Completely unacceptable. It is a health and personal/ social hazard and should not be allowed to stay open. They can do serious damage Read Less

Untrained staff ruined my brows, one brow was shorter than the other and both uneven. The person doing my brows was so worried that her nails would get ruined that she didn’t bother threading my brows properly. Im so disappointed with the results. I’ve been coming here for almost a year and have never experienced this, won’t be coming here again! Read Less

Although the people here are friendly, it is important to be very clear about what you want. I was not understood when I asked for a bob with the outer hair longer at the back than the underneath layers so that it would hang neatly. Instead of this I was given a wedge cut at the back which is so short that it is going to take 2 months to grow before I can do anything about it. I am devastated. Read Less

This the first hairdresser I tried in Oxford as it was most reasonable on prices, since then (year) I regularly come back to get my hair cut here. They do an amazing job no matter who cuts your hair! They are very critical and offered consultation on the styling of my hair without any added costs. They’re also very accommodating on walk in as I haven’t really booked at all for my haircuts. Most recently, I have had my hair bleached and dyed grey here and they blew my mind!! They managed to achieve the most ideal colour with blends of blonde and grey intertwined. Both me and them were wowed together, I had to come back the next day to touch up a few things but other than that it’s been fantastic! Again, this was a walk in. I also paid half the price I was expecting to pay! Saleem did the hair colouring and most of my cuts. It’s a very friendly atmosphere with lovely staff! Definitely recommend this place! Read Less

Great Saloon - very happy! I go here all the time to have my nails done and hair. Staff are great, happy and accommodating. I have the Brazilian blow-dry treatment every 3 months and it is SO good!

I found my appointment to Strand Salons very disappointing. To start with they had double-booked the appointment and turned up late, so two people were squeezed into half an appointment slot. My hair usually takes over an hour to wash, cut and dry, and this was rushed through in 30 mins (and still cost £35 with a discount). My hair wasn't washed properly, and I got water flicked all over me and my hair was pulled. During the cutting, my head was tugged in different directions and my head became a bit sore from the careless pulling. It was not cut to the right length, nor was it cut straight. During the appointment the hairdresser was very distracted and focussing more on conversations with others than on my hair. Hairspray was used on my hair and the end, but no spray to protect it from the heat of the straighteners. To top it off, the salon was quite messy and not a soothing environment. While the end haircut wasn't a complete disaster, the whole experience was rushed and stressful and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Read Less

Time and time again I am thrilled with my experience at Strand. I regularly come here to get my nails done and eyebrows threaded. I've enjoyed nothing but quality service and outcomes that last at a great price. I also adore the staff. They are incredibly hospitable (I should mention that they offered me Prosecco more than once) and treated me like a good friend since my first visit. Read Less

I went to Strand to do my nails, it was perfect. My nails were done really well and the staff were very friendly, I am not sure why some people are negative about this place. I have come here several times for nails, threading, waxing, facial and hair colour and cut, it has always been perfect and a great experience. For sure I will keep coming back, also the location is great! Read Less

Decent hair styling at a high price. The salonists could have been more polite and accomodating. Overall it is convenient because of its location and the quality of their service is acceptable.
