First time at Medusa Hanover St. and what a great experience from start to finish. Consultation 2 days before to plan colouring and style then on the day further discussions of the plan of action with Paul; so I felt really comfortable and confident I was with the right stylist for me. Really nice guy, easy to communicate with. Colouring was a big change for me; from very dark with chunks for whities coming in to multi tone highlights to lighten, give movement and direction. Once colouring complete time for my cut which I’m VERY pleased with; precision cutting with minimal loss of length which sits well and will grow out nicely. So refreshing to leave a salon and not look like I’m off to a wedding!! I can’t bear that. Paul read my personality, got my drift and delivered a top rung cut and colour. Bailey who assisted Paul was also super sharp, knew exactly what she was doing and was really nice person. I traveled 200+ miles for this appointment and I’ll do it again in a few months time because it was worth it!

There is something special that happens after an appointment with Marco- it feels like one of those Hollywood movie slow mo bits, where you just feel confident and your hair is just fantastic. I have had two appointments with Marco and honestly I have never loved my hair more. He listens, gives considered advice that never leaves you feeling pressured or like your opinion or thoughts don’t matter.

The whole salon feels warm and inviting. Everyone seems to get on and encourage each other, complimenting colour or cuts etc. It is just an incredibly nice environment that you want to go back to.

Was in today for colour with Marco and a haircut with Michael, great experience as always. Marco is doing an amazing job at taking my dark hair lighter and Michael cut just enough to make my hair look healthier, without taking too much length off. Highly recommend this salon, everyone is really lovely and very talented.
