Abbie is so lovely & really is talented at her job! Myself and my wife have been to the Collective with Abbie for a cut & balayage. I’ve been terrified of hairdressers for years after a bad experience but I genuinely look forward to my appointments now! The salon is also super clean, tidy & modern.

I used this salon for the first time after having it recommended to me from a family member. The service was fantastic, I had someone come up to me straight away and asked if I had been seen to and I hadn’t so she was immediately checking up my appointment time and then invited me to hang up my personal belongings and took me through to my seating area. I was offered water which I accepted. I had my hair washed and a head massage. Then had my hair cut and it felt so refreshing to have all that hair weighed off me after 3 months since I last had it done. 5/5 stars will definitely be coming back.

Abbie had been my stylist at another salon and it took me a while to track her down but I am glad I did! This was my first time in a salon since COVID-19 and I felt so safe and comfortable. Abbie made sure that my hair was perfect upon leaving and took her time with my colour and cut. The other staff were fantastic too!
