I have had my hair done at Shapes for many years and have been very happy with the standard of service and skill of their operatives. The quality of their technical knowledge and up to date approach is excellent and on a par with the most fashionable salons in the city.

In today at Shapes for yet another fantastic experience. Been going to Shapes for years. Tracy is brilliant on colour ... totally trust her for her experience. My colour is always in line with my age and skin shade. I get precicely what I want. Not cheap but worth every penny. You can wear a lovely outfit but if your hair is not right well ... need I say more. Please try ... you won't regret it. M Todd

Shapes staff are friendly and helpful. I am visually impaired and the staff guide me to and from the basins. Also they never ask me to go to the downstairs salon which is thoughtful. I have a couple of different stylists, in whom I have every confidence .
The prices are middle of the road but I get a prnsioner's discount which is great!
I also like their loyalty scheme- a card which is stamped per visit. Free products and a free treatment is on offer.

Was a little anxious as one is when it's a first visit. Happily the experience was effortless, made all the more enjoyable by Jade who did exactly as I requested. Have pencilled in my next appointment!!

I have used this salon for many years and always found the staff professional and friendly. I presently have my hair cut by Gaby but in the past I have had this done by three other hairdressers and have always been totally satisfied with the end product. My husband and daughter also use this salon.

My first visit to Shapes and was recommended by a current customer.
Lovely welcome and coffee during visit.
Gabby listened to what I wanted done to my hair, asked questions and made suggestions based on what I was looking for.
End result my hair looks healthy and great either straight or curly.
Will be making a future appointment soon for a cut and colour.

Staff always very pleasant, pleased with treatments , hair much improved. The staff were also very kind with my neighbour and Jade was kind enough to bring her out to the car once I had gone to get it. Thanks for good service and by the way I always get a nice cup of coffee!
