I have visited this hairdresser salon twice during my visits to the city of Granada, and have been most satisfied with the friendliness of the staff, punctuality of the service, and quality of their work regarding colouring and management of my hair. Last time I visited I was suffering from a dreadful misscolouring due to a bad work in an Australian salon, and left Ganivet with my hair as new.
If you leave in Australia, given the ridiculous prices demanded by Australian hairdressers, this salon will be cheap to you, but the pricing is very high for the city standards and for most average wages, as the salon is located in an upmarket street in the city centre. Of course, you get top notch quality colour hairdresser. However, I found the highlights specially expensive compared to other colouring services in the same salon, although way less expensive than in other areas of the world.
The colouring products are from the brand Wella, which isn't my fav brand of colouring products, but I get good results nevertheless. Their treatments and masks are from the brands Sebastian and L'Oreal.
The hair salon is open all day without the traditional stop for lunch typical of Spain. So the early hours of the morning and Spanish meal hours are the best ones to be squeezed in if you are in a hurry. The salon is very small, with reduced capacity, so booking in advance is needed.
The main downside of the salon is the pricing. No wonder you find a bit of nose in the air ladies, part of the Granada bourgeoisie.
Although the hairdressers are very good, the salon is far from comfortable or convenient and, when full, they move clients around so that they can use some of the chairs to finish jobs. There is no specific place for pedicure or manicure and both services are very basic. If you are used to the nail salons in Australia, this will fall short. They use O.P.I. nail polish.
The staff are affable and very friendly, but have a tendency to push you into treatments, masks and other stuff for which you will be charged extra. Be firm at the beginning and tell them exactly what you DON'T want to avoid an inflated bill. If they push, softly tell them "No estoy interesada". Ask in advance for pricing and if the price includes washing and dry off or not.
I'm not sure whether the staff speak English or not. If you speak little Spanish ask people in your hotel to write for you exactly what you want and what not. They are very good hairdressers, and will do their best .
