I had my first appointment at the salon today with Sarah. I am so so happy with both my experience within the salon and the outcome of my hair, I had an idea in my head of what I wanted and through her amazing consultation and experience, she grasped the exact picture I had and achieved what I wanted but even better! I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone and everyone and I will definitely be returning. Thank you Sarah!

My mistake was not asking for details of whereabouts of salon. As this was my first visit and I “thought” I knew directions but did not check beforehand.
Also had no idea if which Stylist but struck lucky with Sarah who listened to me then explained what would and more importantly would not work. Found the salon expensive - mainly because I bought product used on my hair without asking price ir but thought the result was worth it.

I went in for a prom hair style (+ it was my first time in the salon) and everyone I spoke to was super sweet and accommodating. I left with reassurance my hair would survive til the evening of my prom and felt absolutely amazing when I left. They were willing to try lots of ideas and suggested things all along the way when I wasn’t sure but still let me have the final decision on what I felt most comfortable with. They were even chill with me waiting inside to be picked up. Overall 10/10 experience, willing to be conversational and leave me to my thoughts on occasion. Couldn’t recommend them more!

She is so lovely and open and makes you feel completely comfortable from day one couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Nikki was super thorough and informative throughout, saying what she thought we should do and taking into account what I want as well. She explained everything factually which I really love as it helped me understand what was best for my curly hair and what might not be good. We went with a pinky-bronze on the back and a light beige at the front, and some layers throughout to help lift my curls. I’m pretty sure she knew my curls better than I did because they turned out super bouncy !! I’ve never been anywhere that’s made me feel so comfortable before, as I’m super particular about how I like my hair done, but i felt like I could trust Nikki 100% as soon as I spoke with her! The whole team are super lovely and helped with deciding what I wanted too, so thank you everyone!

I’ll definitely be coming back :)
