Swoon Hair Salon, Manchester

Lynda BeforeWhat is it?
A new hair salon on Bridge Street, in a former deli unit opposite The Bridge pub.

Ok. What’s it like?
Small, but perfectly formed. Light and bright with plenty of big mirrors and high ceilings. It’s a hairdressers that will make you feel at home.

Who goes there?
Mostly women, but they do gents’ cuts too.

What are their products of choice?

Swoon is a Bumble and Bumble exclusive salon.  Here at Body Confidential we’re big fans of this range as it doesn’t alienate any particular hair type, working well on everything from the coarsest afro to the fine and flyaway.

From frizzy to smoothHow much does it cost?
A cut and style starts at £56, blow-dry from £35 and the most expensive thing on the menu is a full head of highlights for £130. If you’re trying to grow out your colour, the vegetable rinse at £30 is very reasonably priced and kind on your tresses. Body Confidential editor Lynda Moyo had this particular treatment (see pics) to tone down her over-processed, brassy colour and condition her hair.

Who’s the gaffer?
Mark Jones, who trained and worked at Vidal Sassoon for 14 years before setting up shop. In fact four staff in the salon are ex-Vidal Sassoon, so they all certainly know what they’re doing.

Lynda AfterDo you get a cup of tea?
Yep. And coffee. Champers anyone? Be careful not to get hair in it though.
