.Excellent service as always from Gabby. Salon is following all the recommendations re Covid19. Masks, face shields, extra cleaning, social distancing all in place but does not impact on the friendly, relaxed atmosphere and great service.

I was a little apprehensive about my first visit to the hairdressers since lockdown. But as ever Shapes did not disappoint.
The salon is well prepared and the staff are reassuring. Particularly Gabby who as ever cut my hair beautifully, so happy with my experience. Thanks so much.

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
