First time at H&W and already booked my second appointment. It was the first time I have been to a salon where the stylist actually looked at my hair and treated it with what it need not just what I wanted. Thank you so much Brydie!

Fantastic colour , the new colours are so gentle and my hair is so soft after washing , and no scrubbing of my hairline needed to remove that stubborn hair dye . The colour is lovely and is very natural , it does take a lot longer to wash out at the sink as has more oils , but small price to pay as feels great.
Freya is so so knowledgable and takes time to listen to what you want to achieve giving great advice , Freya knows her stuff and is very focused and professional.
The service at Hunter&Walsh is second to none and it is always a relaxing experience when visiting .

Response from Hunter & Walsh

Hi Pearla,
Thank you for your feedback, we really do appreciate everyone's reviews, even when they are less than 5 stars.
I have spoken with your stylist, Eloise about your review. Eloise explained to me that as you are growing your layers out and have naturally curly hair, you both agreed to take the minimal off the ends to get you to your desired length, which did not use the full amount of time of your appointment.
Eloise spent time talking to you about products and advised you to book a Curl Session with me in the future as you are wearing your hair in it's natural texture.
It is a shame that you feel the service you were given was not worth £38, we charge per appointment, with a dry cut being the shortest appointment we offer. We do not discount for appointments that do not use the full amount of time but we try to offer you the best of our advice and care in the time we have left. I am confident that Eloise used her time with you as best as she could.
We are sorry to lose you as a guest but do hope to see you again in the future.
Many Thanks,
Vivienne Johns

Hi Tina,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, you said in your feedback that you thought your colour was a bit pricey, as you know Eloise is a very senior and experienced member of the team, her price list is slightly higher than others in the salon but is on a par with senior team members of like for like salons in our area.
We pride ourselves on delivering to you the highest standard of hairdressing and the best colouring products available, not only so the condition of your hair is not compromised in anyway but to ensure your colour lasts a long time.
If you would like to discuss this further, myself and Nadine are always on hand to take a phone call.
We have options such as training appointments that you might prefer as they are offered at a lower rate.
