About Sheilas The Hair Stylist (Specialises in Perm’s Unisex)
Sheilas The Hair Stylist is a Birmingham hairdresser on Walford Rd that specialises in perms for all, for men and women alike. The owner does the perms herself. She sets the hair in curlers and applies the solution, then uses a head warmer before a rinse and neutraliser. A perm appointment takes about an hour, and a cup of coffee is offered while clients wait. Haircuts are also available, and ear piercing is advertised. The hairdresser is open Tuesday to Saturday and closed on Mondays and Sundays. Same-day appointments can be arranged by contacting the owner directly.

Customer Review Summary
Perms are the draw, and reviewers split sharply on them. Satisfied customers describe a stylist who listens, fits in a nervous 14 year old for a perm the same day, and offers a coffee while parents wait. Others call the perms good over years of visits and say the price is fair. Praise also covers a welcoming, friendly manner and compliments on the finished hair.

“Have a look at the reviews before you book in here… Sent my partner in for a perm and he came out with half his head permed. Even the half that is permed looks like noodles. It’s ridiculous. Got charged full price for a half done job Go to Head to Toe Salon for your perms- a lot better service and quality”

“I've been going to Sheila for my perms for years now, her perms have been good. Never ever had a bad perm from her and she's also a very nice lady to speak to.”

“Don’t know where to begin. Terrible, absolutely terrible. Perms do not even last a week. My hair ended up straight and back to normal after a week. I did question the whole process, the curlers are put in and small amounts of solution are dabbed on the curlers, surely the hair needs to be soaked in the solution but no, Sheila likes to use microscopical amounts. Once’s a tea spoon of solution is added to the whole head, she sticks you under a head warmer, now I say head warmer but it’s ice cold as Sheila doesn’t like spending money, hence cold air hot air. 20 minutes go by and your done, quick rinse of the hair and a table spoon amount of neutraliser is added on and washed off almost immediately. Very strange as it’s suppose to stay in for at least an hour. And that is the whole process, you’ll be in and out in an hour (the same amount of time the perm lasts) I questioned very thing but Sheila just rambles on and gossips for the whole hour. Terrible service. Oh and not to mention the vile smell of cigarettes and fag ash. Even the towel that she suffocates you with smells of smoke. Unhygienic and a rip off! Proper guji place”

“Had a perm done from this woman absolutely shocking. Damaged my hair when to another perm place they told me her solution she uses is cheap . After I washed my hair after I had it done there was a lot of straight bits. Not to mention there was an old women in there smoking a cigarette reminded me of East is east when they were in the chip shop smoking talking talking smoking .Her towels she uses smell a never cleaned properly. Wouldn’t recommend getting a perm from this person. Avoid at all costs”
