Clive is the only hairdresser I've ever had who does exactly what I ask for. He used to cut my hair when I was young, and years later he's still just as skilled and professional. His experience really shows. He listens, pays attention to detail and I am so happy with my new haircut and with the lovely Jade colouring my hair exactly how I wanted! Highly recommended both Clive and Jade

My daughter had her third haircut with Jade today and it was as enjoyable as ever. Her hair looks great now and Jade managed my daughter's fidgeting with good humour and elan! We even managed some Hearts/Hibs banter.

First time here. Went in with crazy, brittle/tangled, home-chopped OAP mane. Delighted to come out feeling much nicer!. No fuss, Its still long (as I wanted) but miraculously sleek with a nice shape.
