Katie is amazing and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair! No matter what style, colour, or cut I ask for, she always gets it absolutely perfect and somehow makes it look even better than I imagined. Our appointments fly by because the chats are always great, and she makes every visit feel relaxed and enjoyable. Katie really listens to what you want and takes so much care to make sure you’re happy with the result. Everyone in the salon is so lovely and makes you feel so comfortable from the moment you walk in. I always leave feeling more confident and absolutely loving my hair. If you’re looking for a hairdresser who is skilled, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do, I can’t recommend Sesh & Katie enough!

Simon is not only a fantastic professional stylist. He is always interested to know how the haircut has been since last cut. He is always considerate about what your goals are and never just assumes. I find conversation, very easy and interesting, relaxing. What he can achieve in an hour is amazing. My hair is poker straight, fine, and needs a very special stylist to cope with it. Simon rises to that challenge with ease. I would have no hesitation in recommending him for his skills, but you will enjoy your time with him.

The girl who wash my hair gave me a brilliant head massage and I left the salon feeling good about myself it was a good boost I needed. I also brought products for my hair which I find are better than shop brought ones. All in all it it an amazing place to go to get your hair cut worth the money.

What do I look for when I choose a place to get my hair cut. Well, like most services, overall I’m after a feeling of contentment, which means a good customer experience.
For hair, for me, that means; | someone who actively listens to what I think I want | advises me with confidence | executes with ease and engagement | builds their knowledge of you as a head of hair and as a character and then weaves that into how they engage going forward |
For me Sesh and Simon (top man) tick all boxes and a few extra ones… Strongly recommend.
