    Is a 'Designer' Salon better than a regular one?

    Hello chaps! I wonder if I could canvass some opinions on this, if I may. I'm hoping to get my hair coloured and I am considering trying out the Vidal Sassoon salon in Leeds. I've never been to a 'designer' salon before - in fact I've only ever had my hair done at local places before...
