I arrived looking like I had been dragged through a hedge, and left with hair that is SO chic I am happily unrecognisable. The attention to detail at every cut, the time spent making it just perfectly right, and the genuine passion and care of everyone at Sesh never ceases to amaze me. I feel so lucky to be on the books, and it’s not a place I take for granted. Thank you for giving me fab hair and an added confidence boost! You guys could Vogue an old boot. You’re literally magic.

I have been visiting SESH since Simon first opened the salon in 2004. Service is always impeccable and the team incredibly attentive. Extended family members also now use the salon given the level of professionalism on display. An absolute gem of a salon.

There’s a reason why so many of the hairdressing team have been with the salon since the start - there’s a family feel to the place and once you’re a regular you’ll feel like part of it also.

As a person with fine and very straight hair, Charlie has been understanding and sympathetic to my challenges with styling and cut with my sad hair… after detailed consultations, we decided to try extensions and I’m so glad we did!! What a difference! Not only do I have more length but I have volume!! It has been quite life changing for me, I’ve so much more confidence and my own hair has grown like crazy.
Please if you’re considering extensions, go for it! Make that appointment with Charlie, you will not be disappointed.

Only been to Laureen at Sesh twice so far but she is brilliant. She spent so much time checking what type of hair I have, how it falls, etc. The cut makes the most of my fine wavy hair. I went to Sesh on recommendation from a neighbour and will be recommending to others myself.

First visit to a new salon can be a daunting experience and Katie quickly put me at my ease: she listened, did exactly what I asked for and was full of friendly chat. Definitely going back!

Shout out to Skye who gave a great head massage and made me a much needed cup of tea, thank you.
