Rush Salons – Win a Free Blowdry!

WARNING: Running around London in 30-odd-degree heat can cause heatstroke, fainting, death and most worryingly of all, a limp, dishevelled hairstyle.

So what’s a style-savvy, sweaty London girl to do? Why, enter The London Word’s fabulous competition, of course, and win yourself a treatment and blow dry at one of multi-award winning salon group Rush’s London salons.

Rush has 40 salons (11 of which are in London), and just to make sure that we aren’t offering you anything other than top-notch goods, I popped down to the brand-spanking-new Moorgate branch earlier this week to test drive the prize. And a thoroughly enjoyable experience it was too.

Aside from nice little treats like really good coffee and a wealth of magazines to choose from, Rush passed the two crucial hairdresser tests: Firstly, I was able to say what I liked, what I didn’t, and was actually listened to. And secondly, when I wanted chat about shoes and hair dye and Marie Claire, there was chat. When I wanted to relax and be quiet, there was quiet. And that in itself was worth the trip alone.

I had the pleasure of being looked after by Emma Sherman, who deserves a mention by name, as she genuinely has given me the best cut I’ve had in years, being, like all Rush employees, trained to the highest standards.

So, fancy a go yourself?
