A cheap hairdresser? My Customer Experience at Self'Coiff.

I tested Self'Coiff, low cost hair salons for you.

Here is the story of my customer experience at a cheap hairdresser.

I chose the formula: Shampoo + color + Self brush at 19 € in the Self'Coiff salon in Brest.

Like many of my friends, my hairdressers and I are a little angry.

I have stopped counting the number of times I have left a hairstyling salon badly or worse, completely missed and annoyed.

So, I tend to do everything myself. At least like that, if I have to take it out on someone, it's up to me.

So, with such a background, when I was offered to test the Self'Coiff Salons, I said to myself: Why not?

After all, doing your care under the watchful eye of the hairdresser is always better than doing it alone, in contortion mode in front of your mirror. Let me explain...

A concept of a new kind

Self'Coiff it is a new concept of hairdressing salon. To reduce the bill, these salons offer their customers to perform themselves certain operations formerly reserved for the hairdresser!

No appointment, we come when it takes us. (Must say that it suits me pretty well, I'm the type to have a sudden desire for a change of mind!)

The Self'Vest: We arrive, drop off our things ourselves in the cloakroom. No apprentice confined to the café, with the Self'Bar, we are the ones who prepare our drink. The Self'Book also, we are the bosses, we chose by leafing through the books ourselves, our new look! There is the option Self'kidwhere mothers shampoo their children themselves, to earn a few extra euros on the bill.

And especially Self Brush. We do our own brushing to reduce costs and only pay for the cut and / or color!

welcome home

When I arrived, I discovered a very seventies living room, with flashy and sparkling colors.

I am kindly greeted by explaining the concept, then the formulas: from the classic shampoo + haircut + Self'Brush, to shampoo + haircut + sweeping + Self'Brush. All the formulas, here.

Self'Vest: I put my bag, my coat in the locker room, put on my blouse.

Self'Book: I am provided with brochures with the cuts and trends of the moment. No cut for me, just a color. So I chose the € 19 formula: Shampoo + color + Self'brush.

Small disappointment, as I have long hair, I have to add 4 €. So it will come back to me at 23 €. I quibble, I know, especially when you know the price of a color at a traditional hairdresser.

Self'Bar: While waiting for a hairdresser to be released, I go to the Self'Bar where I prepare myself a tea while observing attentively the ball taking place around me.

Everyone's getting their hands dirty

To lower your bill, you don't hesitate to wet your shirt! There is the mother who washes her son's hair herself, the one who combs her hair following the advice of the hairdresser.

And above all, I observe the techniques, hairdressers. Listening, they seem to be comfortable and mastered modern techniques. Everything takes place in a rather friendly atmosphere.

My turn !

I pass under the hands of the apprentice, for the shampoo, then I choose the shade for my color. Bluish Black. The hairdresser applies the coloring to me while explaining to me how to do it, how to best achieve it at home.

Self'Brush: Then comes the moment of drying and styling. Under the attentive eye of the hairdresser and guided by her advice, I carry out my brushing myself. I am learning very simple techniques that I never even suspected. It gave me the impression of being a bit in training.

Balance sheet

I went out with superb hair, raven black, beautifully tamed by myself, and I am quite proud of it!

My head full of advice and tips to be able to reproduce the same hairstyle at home, I would have spent barely more than 2 hours.

Well, I admit that I have surely forgotten half of these tips ...

The bill is therefore € 23 for a shampoo + color + Self'Brush. I am leaving for the first time in a long time from a hairdresser, satisfied with the result. The old adage: "you are never better served than by yourself" is therefore checked and approved!

If a Self'Coiff salon opens near where I live, I would definitely stay there again. For the moment, there are not everywhere in France.

What do you think of this low cost hairdressing formula? Perhaps you have already had the opportunity to test the Self'Coiff 'salons? Do not hesitate to give us your opinion in comments.

Savings made

I go to the hairdresser about once a quarter. For a Shampoo + Color + hairstyle formula at a traditional hairdresser, I easily have it for 40 €.

So for the year, the bill amounts to 160 €.

By going to a Self'Coiff Franchisee, I get by for 23 € (19 € on short hair) That makes me a total of 92 € over one year.

So I realize savings of € 68 per year !
