Acme Salon City
18 King Street, Manchester M2 9MXAcme Salon City is the busiest of our four Manchester salons — a light-filled first-floor loft on King Street with nine chairs, a colour bar and the odd celebrity sighting.
Cut and finish, balayage, occasion hair and express blow dries, seven stylists across every level, open late on Thursdays for after-work appointments.
Two minutes from St Ann's Square, and worth every extra pound of the city-centre premium.

★★★★★
City prices are a touch higher but the standard matches. The online booking with branch picker is genuinely slick.
★★★★★
Late Thursday opening is a lifesaver — booked online at lunch, in the chair by six, out looking brand new.
★★★★★
