Alex has been my hairdresser for many years and I was delighted to hear she now works at Tom Stronach’s. The staff were very welcoming and I felt immediately at ease. My colour and finish was fantastic as always. Next appointment already booked!

First time I have visited this salon. I was just a walk in for a fringe trim. The staff were so friendly and I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. Alex trimmed my fringe and has a very warm personality. I will definitely be back. Thank you ????

I have long hair and as a general rule am a haircut-avoider. It was seven months since my last trim. I had seen Tom's new salon several times from the bus. I went online and read multiple glowing reviews. I made an appointment to see Tom. He and Courtney made me feel extremely welcome and relaxed. Tom is genuinely kind and a true perfectionist. He was deeply focused on me ONLY throughout the appointment. He asked my opinion multiple times. He actually listened, engaged and was interested in me. He did not push any procedures or products. The salon is beautiful. All the staff were polite, happy and relaxed. I recommend this lovely salon and Tom to anyone who is anxious about their hair. I will definitely be back. Thank you!

I had a great experience there and was very happy with my colour. The only thing I didnt realise was that blow dry and highlights were charged separately as I assumed blow-dry would have been Included in highlights. Nevertheless I was happy with my result and would go back again. Thank you to Chloe

Excellent service and felt really comfortable in the hands of Caroline. Love how she talks through the process of her work and goes into detail to ensure her clients are happy! I also felt really relaxed in the hands of the junior/ trainee and she makes you feel comfortable at all times. Nice to see Tom on hands aswell. He has obviously created a lovely working environment for his team! Thankyou very much!

Got my hair dyed yesterday and have this morning woke up to my hair falling out. And my hair all snapped at the back. I wasn’t shown the back of my hair before I left so had no idea until it was pointed out the state and condition of my hair. I would have rather been told my hair wasn’t in a condition to be bleached to have it now all falling out and snapping off I am very upset to have payed £90+ for my hair to be falling

After a very traumatic experience at a former hairdressers (leaving my silver toned bleached hair falling out!!) I came in to Tom Stronach salon for help. They exceed my expectations and completely transformed my hair. I love it and will not being going anywhere else! Melissa was incredible and even came in on her day off for me!
