Salon King Street, Huddersfield HD1 2QB

"I had a great experience there today. Paul was friendly and professional. My new hair style making me feel a lot younger. I feel like a new woman and it's making me feel like a million dollars! I can't stop smiling. I will go back there again for sure. Highly recommend:)"

"This was my first visit to Inspiration and I would go back. I hadn’t booked an appointment on the day but the staff were very accommodating and were able to fit me straight in for a full hair cut with wash and blow dry - which I was in desperate need of after not having a cut since long before the last lockdown! After talking to the junior stylist about what I wanted he recommended that I have my cut done with the senior stylist, Paul. Paul listened to what I wanted and checked with me throughout the appointment to make sure that the style matched my expectations. He took the time to make sure it was right and was more than happy to make adjustments. The full wash, cut and blow dry took an hour - just the right amount of time. The service was good throughout and the staff were very friendly. I was offered a coffee during my appointment. The salon was very clean and nicely laid out and had a calm atmosphere. Thanks very much Paul! I’ll be back soon X"

"Easily the worst experience that I've ever had when visiting a hairdressers. Beth, who did my cut and colour, was lovely and I've no complaints with regard to her skills and talent. However, the salon itself was dire and uninspiring, akin to some cheap backstreet barbers with awful lighting and no frills service. The prices, however, certainly did not reflect the quality of experience! I'd booked in for highlights and a cut, and was greeted upon arrival by a surly nail technician (with bad hair) who hadn't even mastered the art of a decent cup of tea. When I enquired how much extra it would be to have a full head of highlights, as opposed to the half head I'd booked- I was told that it would be an extra £65. If I expected toner after my treatment, it would be an additional £30. And because my hair was 3mm longer than what she discerned to be regulation shoulder length, that would be another £20 on top. If I didn't like it, they wouldn't proceed. Unfortunately for me, I'd already paid for the service- taking advantage of a so-called 'offer' on Groupon. So I was hardly in a position to leave at this point, having already shelled out around £60. I accepted that I'd pay the additional £20 (what else could I do?). I had a dry cut which took all of 5 minutes. There was no Olaplex available, and no straighteners were used after the blow dry. Given the ethos of this salon, I imagine they'd charge you another fifty quid for that little luxury. Long story short, I got to the till to pay the extra £20 (albeit begrudgingly), and was informed by said nail technician with bad hair that actually, it would be an extra £53. Because the £19.95 that I'd ALREADY paid for a "wash, cut and blow dry" wasn't accepted- they were charging me another £33 for a dry cut that took 5 minutes if that! Total cost of dry cut- £52.95. Total cost of half head highlights- £56.96. When I challenged this, feeling that they were essentially demanding money by extortion- snarky nail technician (let's call her Karen?) rang the police. So all in all, if you want to hand your hard-earned money over to people who don't do any of the actual hard work (like Beth), but instead charge over-inflated prices commensurate with a high-end salon, whilst attracting new customers with 'offers' that double in price once they've got you in the seat- then by all means, go ahead. My own personal experience, however, I hope serves as a warning to anyone considering booking an appointment. Luckily I was in a position to pay- how many others (many who are struggling at the moment) are duped by these unethical business practices? Vote with your feet and give this place a definite swerve."
