Blondie - The blonde specialist

The absolute best hairdresser for blondes that I know. I came from Germany a few months ago and she was the first hairdresser that was actually able to give me exactly what I wanted and was able to give me the colour from the photos that I showed to her. I feel like a lot of hairdresser don’t really listen to your wishes and do what they think is best, she is an exception. I came back to Capetown a few months later and went to her again and got the same amazing results as the first time.

I would like to start out by saying this is my first time ever writing a review for any company but after the experience I have had today it was certainly something I felt I needed to share. Firstly, Gabby is amazing, some people just deserve to be successful and she is one of these people. My only regret is that I only discovered Blondie last night while googling for a salon. I contacted her this morning just before 5am which wasn't the most politest thing I have done but she responded within minutes, I made a request to go from virgin brown hair to full bleach blonde. I explained that I don't get much notice when I am off from work which she completely understood. She was fully booked out today, especially for what I required but she made a plan to start very early this morning, which is not something that anyone should just expect of a company to do for them at any point so for this I am so grateful to be accommodated by someone I hadn't even met. My experience with her has been very warm and kind which is very important to me because I can feel very easily uncomfortable around people. It seems like everyone at the salon feels the same way, even people who aren't her clients will pop during the day in to see her and say hello, they are warmly welcomed with a cup of coffee. I have been on off blonde for 11 years now and my experiences have been up and down. In saying that, I have had good experiences but there is a very clear difference between someone who is good at blonde and someone who specializes in it. It is rare to find someone with this level of talent. I wouldn't say I know everything but there are things that really indicate how good Gabby is, for one, no one touched my bleached hair with a brush while it was wet and this would have been the first time that I wouldn't have even minded it because somehow I walked out of this salon today with not only the best results I have ever had but also my hair felt like it was in a better condition than when I walked in. She also did not start with my roots and only did them later on. Considering how many clients had foils and with only one person keeping a watch over all of them- not one person came close to being over processed an everyone walked out with healthy hair and extremely happy with the results. To deal with something that requires a closer watch, it just shows the level of skill Gabby has with blonde hair and it looked effortless for her. All in all the results were completely unexpected, my hair is bleach blonde but it still looks natural, I have never been happier and I will probably never go anywhere else again. What a relief to have found a place that I do not have to feel in anyway nervous about the condition of my hair or if I will walk out with brassy/ yellow tones. All I can say is thank you so much for today, Gabby. You're a unicorn in this industry and I am grateful to have now found you and I would give you 1000 stars if I could. xx Photos of before and after, both taken today.

Gabby is a magician! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to be blonde. Only the best products are used resulting in healthy hair. Absolutely love the hair washing station, the most comfortable ever! Highly recommended!

In all my life... This was the BEST hair salon I have ever visited. Gabby is a miracle worker. My hair went from a total brassy mess to stunning. AND all without Toner. I did not eve know this was possible. Gabby managed to turn my yellow hair into ashy beautiful locked which don't fade, because it is all natural and bleached just right to a natural light ashy tone which hardly even needs blue shampoo, and no toner was userd. My mind is blown! Go here if you want mermaid locks : Service: Hair coloring

Gabby is absolutely amazing! She really listened to what I wanted and took the time to discuss it with me... I really appreciated it as I've had some awful experiences where hairdressers completely dismissed what I had to say. I am so impressed with her work and the way she treats her clients is just incredible. I can't wait for my next appointment. Thanks you so much Gabby x
