I've been going to Shapes for quite a while now. I have to travel some distance to get to it but it's worth the trip. The staff, led by the owner and manager Clive, are all really friendly, helpful and very professional. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Mac for a fab put-up. Folks did not recognise me at Ladies Day. Busy morning in the salon, but time was taken to assure hair was as described and I was happy with it. Better than I imagined.

This salon deserves top marks in every aspect. The staff are caring, competent and creative. The experience is very keenly priced. I like the way that ALL sectors of the community are catered for. The clientele is very much mixed age, mixed gender and diverse. Nobody feels uncomfortable here. I like too that there is no stinting with the use of hair products. In addition, the front of house receptionist is endlessly helpful fitting people in and reception is welcoming to all with comfortable seating and fresh flowers.
