Hi Jojo,

Thanks for your review.

We’ve looked into this but unfortunately we can’t find any order under your name, and we don’t sell tanning products, so it appears this may have been intended for a different company.

We did reach out via Trustpilot to get a few more details so we could double-check this for you, but haven’t received a reply yet.

If you’re able to contact us at info@directsalonsupplies.co.uk
or on 01270 630 280 with any additional information, we’d be more than happy to help point you in the right direction and make sure you get this resolved with the correct retailer.

If this review has been posted in error, we’d really appreciate it if you could update or remove it.

Kind regards,
Direct Salon Supplies

I’m very disappointed with my…

I’m very disappointed with my experience. I ordered left-handed hairdressing scissors and was told I would need to wait up to three weeks, which I was happy to do. After almost a month of waiting, I received an email saying their supplier had just informed them that the scissors weren’t available after all. They offered me a different size or a different model, but I specifically needed left-handed scissors in the size I ordered. I asked for a refund, which they agreed to, but the whole process felt unprofessional and frustrating. I would not order from this company again.

I had a conversation with a pleasant gentleman and he was helpful. The item arrived the following day but I have not yet tried the product.
Update 20 March : I have now used the HairCare 16mm heated comb and it gets hot and works well. Satisfied and shall purchase from this firm again.

AVOID

AVOID
my order was forgotten, had to call to remind them I had paid, when it arrived it was partially broken, called immediately to advise them of the broken part, they promised to send replacement, and offered a small cash refund as apology , Over 2 weeks later still no part and no refund. I don’t know if I’m wasting my valuable time to call again as the reply will be as unreliable as before !!!!!

Total scam company

Total scam company. Ordered hairdressing scissors I have previously bought numerous times from them.

I'm left handed and made a mistake and ordered the right handed version, I sent them back at my own expense and was told they have been used and sent my pictures of scissors that had been used but not mine as I can't use them as I'm left handed.

they offered to fix the scissors for £20 .

TOTAL JOKE
you have been warned ⚠️

Hi Josh

Upon your return of the incorrect handed scissors, the Kyoto scissor engineer could clearly see hairs on the blade and under the screw assembly once taken apart along with damage to both blades which in their words had been "potentially dropped to cause the chipping to the blade".

We offered the service of these scissors or to return to you in their present condition as they were not returned in their original condition or fit for resale. Had they been returned in their original condition we would have gladly swapped them over to the left handed version you actually required.

We apologise you feel this is a scam but this return had not been done in alignment with our terms and conditions. We try to find the best solution for any issue presented but on this instance we could only offer to have these serviced and or returned to yourself

Thank you

Great service

I received a phone call within 5 minutes of emailing them with a query. They helped me to improve my order. Their attitude was friendly and helpful. Delivery was extremely prompt. I could have received it next day if I hadn't rearranged with Royal Mail for a more suitable time.

Two purchases, and excellent advice & support.

I have now bought from Direct Salon Supplies twice, and in each case, I have felt the advice provided and support was excellent.
I would highly recommend them (especially Carl, who has helped me both times - thank you Carl!).
