Polly, Amazing Hairdresser!

Polly Jones coloured my hair so perfectly. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. She really listened to what I wanted and got the shade exactly right. My hair feels healthy, looks amazing, and I’ve already had so many compliments. Such a lovely experience from start to finish, I’ll definitely be coming back.

I always enjoy my appointment at this salon and am pleased with the result (cut and blow dry), and especially appreciate the advice given by Nadine regarding style decisions and how to maintain my hair between appointments. In addition, my hair wash is a lovely experience in itself, being in the massage chair and having my scalp massaged. Nice environment, great view, and everyone is very friendly.

I always come and see Emma as she always gives me an honest opinion on my hair. I had a full set of highlights and a restyle. I couldnt be happier. Great colour to go from blonde to gradually toning down to accept my grey/silver coming through. She explained thoroughly what she was doing and advised me on colours before proceeding. I had a totally different haircut after.
I highly recommend this hairdressers and I thank her for making me feel confident in me and with a hairdressers again. Wont be going anywhere else.

I've never known this to be done in any salon before . But I already told her and showed her my own bottle of conditioner.with that I'm not pleased she gave me 1/ 2 refund.

Response from Hunter & Walsh

Hi Elaine

Thankyou for your feedback.
We are glad to hear that you are happy with your hair colour but disappointed to see you were unhappy with your experience.

We as a salon when colouring hair will never compromise the condition of a Clients hair, this is why the lightening product eloise used to lift your hair contained a Plex treatment. The conditioner that you brought into the salon is an after product and does not replace our treatment that we add to our colours.
The plex treatment we add to our colours is to help with rebuilding the broken bonds within the hair shaft to make it stronger, healthier, and more resistant to damage when colouring.

All our prices include styling products, conditioners and shampoos, if a client decides that they want us to use their own styling products etc (as long as we are happy to use it) then that is down to the clients choice and we don't discount for this.
I hope this has cleared any misunderstanding up.
Kind regards
Nadine
