Booked 5 haircuts for the day and was worried it would take up a huge chunk of my day, but it didn’t. First appointment was at 2:50pm and we were all done before 4pm. It was great. The cuts were good too.

Been going to Mack at Shapes for almost 2 years now. The salon itself is big, a really friendly atmosphere. Went today to have my dyed red (usually blonde) mohawk dyed back to blonde and a slightly different style and she wasn’t even upset! Never any judgement, a huge mix of clientele, can’t see myself going anywhere else.

Will add that I went somewhere else once before there, it took twice as long and was way more expensive with a bad result.

After Lockdown I desperately needed a hair cut and Clive did a fantastic job can't say thanks enough because I actually got the date wrong but Clive squeezed me in but took his time and I loved my new style.

Everyone had PPE on but there was no difference in the atmosphere still a welcoming visit
