From making the initial appointment to my welcome, the time and careful consideration given to my needs put me at ease as a new customer. Priceless reassurance, smiles everywhere plus the massaging chair whilst being shampooed no less, for me, places this salon ad a natural choice. Thr wonderful team here exude professionalism carefully balanced with genuine care. I cannot recommend Hunter & Walsh highly enough with thanks to you all. SJ x

He listened and I left with a fab hair cut and new shorter hair. Love it so much I couldn’t stop taking selfies. Josh puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable and I’ve found a hairdresser I trust and with anxiety that’s not an easy task. Thank you thank you thank you.

I always look forwards to a trip to Hunter and Walsh as I know it is going to be a lovely relaxing experience. This morning was no exception!
As always, Eloise spent plenty of time making sure that she understood exactly what it was that I was hoping for with my hair. I then had a lovely morning of hair treatments, at one point I was so chilled I nearly fell asleep. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone and I was offered delicious coffee and pastries too.
Like many people, I have a super busy life and this is like a little oasis of self care.
My hair looks fab, too!
