Emma always makes me very welcome. She always listens when you are explaining what you want and asks questions for clarification. She is very professional but also friendly & I have every confidence in her haircuts which she takes great care with as she does in everything she does. I have also had regular highlights with Emma. I can always rely on Emma to guide me with colour choice & I completely trust her judgement.
I have often had complements from complete strangers about my hair as well as friends which is a reflection of Emma’s skills. Thank you Emma!

Emma has cut my hair for nearly 10yrs now and always does a brilliant gents cut and is really easy to chat to. Millie is a treasure and provides friendly, hardworking support. Eunice is efficient and professional and always gives a warm welcome. All the staff are friendly and create a nice relaxed atmosphere in the salon. Great facilities and all very well managed and maintained. Convenient location for car parking. Top marks all round. I really recommend. I will escape with the massage chair under my arm at some point.
