About Good Salon Guide

Good Salon Guide

The Good Salon Guide is the only independent guide to quality standards in hairdressing in the UK and Ireland. Every Good Salon Guide salon is inspected by a professionally trained assessor and issued with a rating. No salon can be part of the Good Salon Guide unless it has first undergone a full inspection. Salons are then regularly reassessed. This makes the Good Salon Guide unique. Salons are presented with one of four different awards from Registered (R) to 3, 4 or 5 Stars. In all Good Salon Guide recognised salons, however, you can be sure of quality service and standards. Launched over 16 years ago in response to consumer demand, the Good Salon Guide is now the leading hairdressing organisation in the UK and Ireland, with around 2000 professional salons listed. Check out www.goodsalonguide.com for full details on recognised salons, profiles, photos, a hair doctor and much more. Through this blog find the latest hairdressing news, salon profiles, hair advice, style predictions and more! Check back regularly to stay ahead with everything ‘hairdressing’...
