Bad experience at John Alan's in first year (letting an untrained girl do my colour when I was paying for senior stylist).
Gave them another chance a few months ago when I needed an urgent trim and couldn't get in at S.B's - more expensive than a stylist at Sophie's and she had all the conversation skills of a dog turd. Plus, the cut wasn't actually very good - wonky fringe etc.
