  • GW Privateroom is the first hairdresser I've been to that offers wine as well as tea or coffee. They also do breakfast. It is a neat little place in Festival towers with free parking for customers and one of the coolest two level layouts I have seen. Hannah recommended the place, and it was a great choice.0November 24, 2010
