The Red Angel Hair Company is a hair and beauty salon known for its affordable and excellent hair services. It earns a spot here for two main reasons.

First, the stylists here receive good commendations. Most clients we’ve talked to are regulars returning for their hair upkeep. 

Second, if you need help deciding what style to get, their website offers a style gallery with a wide range of cuts and styles you can choose. 

For those with curly (4A and above) hair texture, you’ll be pleased to know they also offer braids for protective hairstyles.

We also like that their location is near the central retail district, which has access to bus stops and other shopping establishments.

Furthermore, we appreciate that their services are affordable enough to schedule regular upkeep. Their starting price is £14 going up to £24 depending on other requests.

However, a downside to them is the lack of available staff. Though they have many skilled stylists, you might only get the desired results if you get the hairstylist you want. 

Furthermore, some client reports claimed their appointment was moved to a different date or time without prior notice because the salon was understaffed.

From what we’ve seen, this can be an issue for those with tight schedules, as it can disrupt your plans.

Still, we think Red Angel Hair Company is a good choice for what they offer if you’re looking for a budget-friendly salon with excellent service.

Nicky Oliver is one of the longest-established hair salons in Manchester. They offer a wide range of hairstyles and avant-garde looks that suit a fashion lover’s taste.

Moreover, they also have a Hairdressing academy in Manchester, where they give tips and techniques to their clients on how to maintain their locks properly.

We’re impressed at how transparent they are with their prices. One customer we talked to was happy that her stylist discussed all products and prices before starting the session.

If you prefer fashion-forward looks, you’ll be pleased to know they offer a range of avant-garde styles you can browse on their website. They also offer wig and extension installations for both men and women.

A downside, however, is they charge higher than other hair salons. For example, blow dry and finish start at £87, while overall treatment can cost up to £400.

We understand these charges mainly come from paying for the stylist’s experience and expertise. Still, it can be a deal breaker for those looking for affordable options.

Furthermore, there are records from clients where the whole experience feels rushed. One, in particular, claimed that the hairstylists didn’t talk to them during the entire session.

But, even with these issues, we still recommend them if you’re working with a more flexible budget and want unique looks.

House of Vanity, Manchester, is an express hair and beauty salon with an array of available beauty treatments.

We like that they offer haircuts, make-up, and even brow and lash services. They even have patch tests and consultations for those looking to try a new service.

Whether you’re looking for a quick blowout during your lunch hour or a full makeover for a night out, we’re impressed that their service list has something for everyone.

Their team comprises stylists with years of experience in their arsenal, trained to give you excellently executed treatments and customer service.

We’re also impressed by their interiors. It has the vibe of a luxury venue which is quite relaxing if you’re planning to get multiple treatments done.

As for their prices, their Wash, Haircut & Curly Blow Dry package starts at £50 – pretty cheaper compared to other beauty salons in Manchester.

As reported by some customers, one major drawback to them is their lack of cleanliness around the facility. In addition, there are claims that the makeup brushes still had some leftover products and dirty countertops.

From what we’ve seen, House of Vanity’s services is still up to par with most of their client’s standards. Therefore we still recommend them if you’re looking for a one-stop-shop for your beauty needs.

Salvation hair is a bespoke salon that’s popular for providing advanced hair techniques for both men and women. 

They’re highly rated for having friendly and accommodating stylists with years of experience. We love that it makes it easier to request the look you want to achieve.

Their expertise, combined with their use of Aveda brand products, is definitely noteworthy. In addition, they use vegan and sulfate-free products, so you can be sure your hair is in good hands.

Although they have limited services available, based on our surveys, they are well-known for their base colour and colour correction services.

One client we spoke to is a regular customer for over two years. She claimed that their colouring services are affordable and always well done without suffering any damage.

However, we’re a bit iffy about some client reports about their lack of price transparency. Some clients we’ve talked to experienced additional charges after getting their service.

For us, this can be an issue for those on a limited budget.

We recommend bringing photos of the looks you want and then asking beforehand how much the entire process costs to avoid any sudden charges.

Overall, we still think Salvation hair provides quality service, especially for getting and maintaining hairstyles that require more attention and upkeep.

Antony’s Hair Salon & Academy is one of the salons in Manchester known for its inclusivity in hair services. They take pride in their knowledgeable and hospitable stylists trained for a wide range of hair services.

That’s one of the things we like about them – that they offer specialised services. In addition, their stylists are well-versed in haircuts and colouring techniques, including ombre and balayage.  

Furthermore, they have a team of curly hair specialists to accommodate 3A and above hair types. We’re impressed by this because finding a salon catering to curly hair can be challenging.

As for their pricing, their services are more affordable compared to other salons within the area. Also, we like that their price list is available on their website, which makes estimating the cost of your appointments easier.

We’re just a bit iffy about how often they change their prices. It can be an issue for those with multiple sessions because the costs for the same service can change without prior notice.

In our opinion, this can be an issue for those on a strict budget who need regular hair upkeep. 

However, with their highly-rated stylists, they are still an excellent choice for those struggling to look for curly hair specialists around Manchester.
