It's time for another local business appreciation blog post! This time for Georgies, my hardworking hairdressers.
A friend of my sisters, who always had luxurious hair, told me to go to Georgies. It is located in the centre of Grimsby Town, near the bus station (which was a bonus because I'm rubbish with directions!)
This was the only photo I could find of my hair before I went to Georgies. Pretty fuzzy and frazzled.
I was terrified they would say they couldn't help me, and that I had done so much damage that I would have to just take the lot off and look like one of the Barbies I had given a "makeover" to in my younger years...
Thankfully they didn't. But a lot needed to come off. I had a good cut and used a strong conditioner for 8 weeks. Eventually my hair was healthy enough to withstand some professional salon hair dye. I had no idea how different home hair dye kits and salons actually were, but trust me they are.
I went from a patchy peachy orange to a deep brown, which was something new for me.
A year on (bottom 2 photos) and I'm still a brunette, still using the salon every 6-8 weeks and my hair has grown from a Bob to half way down my back, stopping just between my shoulder blades. My hair is not a fuzzy mess and actually grows SO fast now.
It took me a lot to trust a hairdressers again, after years floating around others salons asking for something specific and just getting whatever they could be bothered to do. I hated the small talk about where I was going on holiday and the weak coffees that cost more than the whole jar of instant kenco.
But I'm glad I trusted Georgies. They make me feel welcome every single time. Even if I have a mad panic and trim my own fringe! They remember me, they have better coffee and they always go a good job on my hair.
They even passed the test of the toddler. My three year old daughter loved having her hair cut and now goes as regularly as I do.
I honestly wouldn't use another salon now, a professional and friendly business which always makes me feel like I'm getting exactly what I ask for. I would like to take this oppertunity to thank Sarah for always doing a spectacular job, on mine and my daughters hair. The girls here are so wonderful and the atmosphere in the salon is so relaxed and informal. I love coming here and I get so many complements on my hair when ive had it cut and blow dried. There is no end to the talents of the ladies at Georgies, I urge you to go and take care of your hair with the best salon in Grimsby!
