Geiko – Leamington Spa

This modern, oriental inspired salon is in the town centre and I managed to get a last minute appointment with an intermediate stylist. geiko The salon has an opulent feel, and I was welcomed by the salon Director, Paula.

The friendly stylist I was allotted checked the feel as well as the look of my hair. She asked me what I would like, which is not something I am used to, but makes a lot of sense.

I was treated to a fabulous shampoo and long relaxing scalp massage, using Shu Uemura products containing bamboo. This left my hair feeling like silk and smelling of, well, what I imagine a summer meadow in the orient would smell like. Gorgeous!

My haircut was perfect. I rarely like the finish but this was glossy, faultless. Paula came over to check that I was happy and to give her approval. I felt that I was treated like a special guest, somehow, and walked out feeling head turningly stunning. Click Geiko to go to their website.

This is a fun, welcoming salon a little way outside town – on the Brampton mile for the pub crawlers – but with easy parking and a handy cash machine across the road. I had my hair styled by Chris who has since retired in June (a bit young to retire, Chris!). It is still family run by the next gen, and the salon has now recruited an excellent colourist.

The salon is unisex, uni-age and an overall pleasurable experience.
