Hairdresser at Virgin Clubhouse

[gilld]

We have booked the Virgin Clubhouse at LGW next Wednesday prior to our flight. We are not Gold FF members and only flying PE, so have paid for our entry. What is the likelihood of there being appointments on the day for me to get my hair cut? I really need to get it cut, but I simply don't have the time between now and then.

If there is an availability, how expensive is it...so I can prepare DH!!!!

I've never had a haircut before, but always have a pre-flight massage. I pre-book by e-mailing them on vtouch.lgw@fly.virgin.com

It always seems quite relaxed and quiet when I have been there. I have seen many people arrange their appointments there and then, so I don't think that there will be a problem with availability.

Thanks, Frances. Only Gold FF( we haven't reached that level yet...if ever!!!) and Upper Class can book in advance, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for the day. Are they expensive?

Sorry,
Only Upper Class passengers and Gold Card members can have use of the Hairdressers/Massage/Cuticle facilities.
a bought ticket gets you into the Clubhouse, but not the extra facilities.
They do not have a way in the Clubhouse for you to even buy the services.
the haircut and sensational shave are..well, sensational!

Oh well..another one bites the dust! Although that's not what they told me when I rang Vtouch, they said you CAN go on the day if there's a space.

Maybe it has changed since January, as I note on the VH web site this ambiguous statement:-

London Gatwick
Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse
