thanks for the feedback Suyangi, you did see a senior stylist for the cut which makes it slightly higher priced than a 'basic stylist' charge bracket, this was just to accommodate the last minute booking we made, perhaps next time request a lower level (or even graduate or stylist) for the colour application to keep costs own for you, the blow dry is free of charge with colour either way. We are delighted to see you felt the service and value were 5 stars however; thank you!

Lovely lady and good customer care - checking I was ok throughout and nice and chatty. A little disappointed with the result - expected to come out with silky smooth legs, but actually a lot of what were referred to as "stubborn" hairs remained on my legs, resulting in me coming home and tweezering them out myself! A little disappointing as I could have got rid of more hairs myself at home!!

My First and not last visit to Arcana

Saturday 8th July 2017

I had a nightmare from hell growing out a "bad" hair cut and Invisible highlights for 11 weeks. Obviously I was doing all the research possible to prevent another disaster.

I researched Arcana and looked at Jane's profile quite a few times. Called into the Saloon and was lucky enough to get an appointment for the above date.

After listening to all my vows over the last 11 weeks. Jane quickly put me at my ease and started my cut and highlights. I am absolutely over the moon the high lights are perfect the cut is out of this world. Gone is the enforced bob and dull and fully ends. I am me again. I have booked all my appointments up until December. All women's hair is important to them. I am a PA so therefore my hair is an important part of my job.

Thank you Jane, do not miss out on this truly Professional Hairdresser.

I would also like to mention Katie, currently an Apprentice with really effective customer service skills and her head wash is amazing, she will go far with the guidance of Arcana.

Had 2 hours worth of pampering which was absolutely brilliant! My therapist (I think her name was Sian) was friendly and very good at listening what I wanted from my time with her. Firm deep tissue and relaxing Indian head massage meant I left feeling like i was floating. Thank you ...will definitely be back

I was a bit disappointed with the salon even though it was recommended as being very good. The whole process on my hair was done by 3 different persons who seemed a bit in a hurry and did not really know what I was booked for. On top of that I was charged more than I was told but did not receive any explanation.
