Cut and colour with Hannah

Well today was absolutely amazing .
Hannah and I had a consultation earlier this week where we discussed what I wanted and we had agreed colours and look.
Today it was perfectly executed with the most fantastic experience from Hannah. Colouring was brilliantly done with foils and a base colour that has given me a glow followed by a long luxurious shampoo, conditioning and a head massage, massage chair whilst awaiting toner to set in and then blow dry to die for with thinning out my hugely thick mop of hair .
I am now according to my partner fabulous and gorgeous (rather delighted with that at 57!) wedding and Rome holiday ready.
Hannah you are such a joy to have working on my hair and your skill and patience with my incessant chatting made the appointment go by rather more quickly than it actually was.
Thank you for the “new me” and for making me feel fabulous xxxx

Mandy is so talented and has a wonderful ability to restore your hair to be your crowning glory. So happy with my new hairstyle when I left today.

I have been to Arcana twice now and both times I have been thoroughly disappointed with the service. The staff did not make me feel welcomed at all and the hairdresser was extremely rough while trimming my hair. Also while washing my hair, she was so aggressive and it was the most uncomfortable experience I've had. When drying my hair, she was very careless and kept hitting the wire of the hair dryer into my face.
My mum and sister have been once before and found the same issues.
We will not be going here again.

I’ve been going to this salon for a while now. It’s a lovely friendly place to unwind & be pampered. Staff are super friendly & very courteous. The anxiety that people have faced during COVID I’m sure has had an impact in customers visiting salons but actually I find they’ve set it up perfectly & it really doesn’t feel any different to how it was pre Covid. The girls all do a good job at making you feel welcome. I have hair & beauty done here.
