TONI&GUY Arvostelua 2 081

I began my training at Toni & Guy Stockholm in 2022 with high hopes, but my experience was incredibly disappointing. I was promised the opportunity to grow and develop as a hairstylist, but instead, I was mostly used as an assistant without receiving the proper training or support I had been told I would get. The work environment was discouraging, and I rarely received feedback — making it nearly impossible to improve or stay motivated.

After two and a half years of dedication, I made the difficult decision to leave because it was clear I wasn’t progressing. Just two months later, the salon shut down due to financial issues — confirming what I had already sensed: they had no real intention of investing in my future. Looking back, I believe they knew the salon was closing long before it happened, but they kept that information from me to continue using my labor. They didn’t give me a chance to plan ahead or seek other opportunities. That silence was not only unfair — it was deeply disrespectful.

Even after I left, I contacted the Toni & Guy head office in the UK to share what happened and express my concerns. They completely ignored my message. No response. No acknowledgment. That silence spoke volumes — it showed me once again how little the company values its trainees and staff. It made me feel like I was completely disposable.

Now, after giving years of my time and energy, I’m left in a difficult position: I didn’t receive the education I was promised and still lack the qualifications I need to fully pursue a hairstyling career. I’m deeply disappointed, but I’m also determined to speak up so that others don’t go through the same thing.

To anyone considering starting their education at Toni & Guy: please think twice. Be cautious. Ask detailed questions during your interview — about training structure, feedback, support, and long-term opportunities. Don’t be fooled by their polished image or charming marketing promises. What sounds appealing at first can turn out to be something very different behind the scenes.

I hope future trainees are treated with the honesty, guidance, and respect that I never received — and that Toni & Guy takes real responsibility for how it treats the people who invest their time and dreams into this brand.

Everyone was so lovely and welcoming. Ash, who cut my hair, was fantastic! It was my second haircut in 3 years and first since coming out as a trans woman so I was nervous, especially as I had my graduation that day. But I couldn’t have been happier with all of it. I live in London now but plan on going back to Leeds to have Ash cut my hair again.
Thank you so much x

Went to Toni & Guy Colchester recently, I have been a customer for years & years.. expensive keratin treatments, balayage, hair colour, haircuts - you name it.
Unfortunately the salon's standards have dropped... . The toner treatment was rushed (for the price point of £20 seemed like a total waste of money)... head massage max 5 sec (half arsed), two members of staff pulling my head to opposite directions while drying my hair (what was the rush they never said or asked my permission for this..). One of them kept scratching my neck unapologetically, same employee finished off the blow dry (half arsed, but I was charged £10 for it)...
Came out the salon with frizzy/wet hair, wondering what in God's name was that all about...
I don't want to be contacted with apologies, I would like you to have a responsible manager on site because the place seems like a playground run by either kids or high on their horse senior stylists and the overall experience does not justify the high price point anymore..

An excellent hairdresser who knows my hair and what I want. Having the same colourist every time I go makes a huge difference.

The hairdresser hacked away at my hair completely ignoring my instructions. When I pointed this out she was very rude. In a review elsewhere the salon suggested they made every effort to remedy the situation. This is simply not true. It wasn’t made clear or me how a more senior stylist should make my hair longer after the hacking. No effort was made to rectify.

Always happy with the result! Can’t recommend enough Darja!
Very polite service as well x

This was one of the most distressing salon experiences I’ve ever had. Not only was I treated dismissively during the appointment, but I was also accidentally sent an internal email afterwards in which staff appeared to be laughing or mocking me. This was incredibly hurtful and unprofessional — and made it very clear that client wellbeing was never a priority.

When I raised this and the overall experience with Toni & Guy’s client care and global teams, I received either cold, dismissive replies or no meaningful response at all. There was no proper apology, no accountability, and no acknowledgment of the emotional impact this caused. The entire approach felt performative and insincere — focused more on protecting the brand than addressing serious concerns.

Toni & Guy’s marketing suggests a premium, client-focused experience — but my reality was the opposite. I left feeling shaken, humiliated, and deeply let down. The behaviour I experienced was not just unprofessional, it was personally damaging.

I would not return and would strongly caution others, to look elsewhere. A brand that allows this kind of behaviour to go unchallenged needs to seriously review its culture, staff training, and complaint handling.

Having Thannasis give me a lovely,cool hair cut.
Thank you!

Ashlie was professional from start to finish.

EXCELLENT!..Worth 10 stars at least..such a lovely salon..Nathan is truly outstanding, such a lovely, talented guy,nothing is too much trouble..such a true personality,All the staff are friendly and welcoming..Well worth visiting, you won't be disappointed

These are two absolute gems at Westfield! Not only personable, so attentive, feels like your best friend is doing your hair, (they are just as invested in your hair as you are) but they are so talented, my cut and colour was exactly what I wanted! Won’t be going anywhere else! Thankyou Ladies!

Truly a wonderful experience. Highly recommend marta. Made the experience absolutely delightful.

Really nice helpful

Being a regular Toni & Guy customer in Dublin city centre, I decided to go to their Dundrum Salon for a hair cut. Especially as I could do other shopping things also...in the same space which has never been as easy! Park, hair cut, lunch and shopping.. the Salon is super lush and the staff were lovely . I got a summer cut with the head creative hair dresser who gave me the cut I wanted from a photograph. I was delighted. I never think of going to Toni & Guy Dundrum but I will definitely be going back next time too. Its a pity that it is quite hidden in Dundrum shopping centre, being on the 4th floor. But the effort is worth it when you've walked through the door.

stylist seemed mentally ill. Was longer one side than the other. Razored bottom. Said I won t dry it you go outside and dry naturally. Then when outside you ll see whether you like it or not.Had to go to get cut again to even out. One side different to other. Meant to be bob. Was hacked . Looks like cut it myself Contacted toni guy,siad would ring, no reply. Paid £66. Shop closed soon after. No wonder!

I went to Toni & Guy in Leighton Buzzard and so glad I did. I have very curly hair and had recently had a just under the chin bob cut somewhere else, but it didn't suit me.
Kirsty was my hairdresser as she had good knowledge of curly hair. She was at first reluctant to just chop off all my curls and spent half an hour of her time discussing my options. I was adamant that I wanted it all chopped off.
She cut my hair superbly, best cut I have ever had, no word of a lie. Perfectly structured short cut that suits my face perfectly.
If you are looking for a new hairdresser you can't go wrong with Toni & Guy in Leighton Buzzard give them a go. The whole team are super friendly and make you feel totally welcome
Thanks Kirsty, you're the best and will see you soon.

I normally get a bouncy blow dry once a month, went and booked a bouncy blow dry with Toni & Guy and came out with half straight half curly hair used by curlers. My hair was blowdried straight and when I asked the hair stylist if I was having a bouncy blow dry still I was advised she can’t do them on long hair. I complained to Toni and guy Horsham as I had to go somewhere else the next day for a blow dry again, and they wouldn’t help me. Paid £48 for curls that fell out an hour later and could have done this myself at home.

I went into the bluewater salon wanting a complete change. Daisy absolutely delivered that and I am so happy with my new hair, feel like a new woman. Thank you Daisy

Friendly staff. As usual a great haircut by Sofia at Blueeater branch.
Always like the head massage when I have my hair washed

Toni & Guy Covent Garden is a jewel for stunning hair care can't recommend it enough. A great team it's a perfect all round service.
