My hair is short and very straight, and Eloise restored some texture with clever cutting, and gave it a lovely shape.

I've been going to Hunter Walsh for years and Nadine has always cut my hair. She knows my hair well ( it has a tendency to frizz) and she cuts it beautifully. She's always so friendly and cheerful. The salon on the seafront is airy, light and spacious and has lovely views of the harbour. The decor is excellent and I would recommend this to anyone. It may seem a bit more pricey than some but to me it's definitely worth it!

What a great cut and colour from Laura. She works miracles with my hair - when she first took on the challenge of my hair it was damaged and badly broken. Now it is shiny and healthy. Nothing is too much trouble - even when I ask for curls !!! I feel so much better after my appointment - when your hair is great you can rule the day !!!

I had my first haircut since lockdown and Eloise did a fantastic job. She cut 4 inches off the length and add some layers, it looked fantastic. She introduced me to a product that tames frizzy hair the more you wash. I've washed it twice since and I have noticed an improvement. I cannot wait for my next appointment. Thank you so much Eloise.

I haven’t been able to get my hair cut and styled since before lockdown commenced, so was delighted to be able to get an appointment. I had been a bit nervous about attending a hair salon due to the potential infection risk of being in such close proximity to someone else but I was totally reassured by the comprehensive infection control measures H&W have put in place. Separate cubicles for clients, excellent social distancing and hand hygiene and customer safety centred attention to detail.
On top of that I had the usual excellent luxurious experience we all receive at H&W and after my haircut, I feel like me again for the first time in 6 months.

I've never been so excited about visiting my hairdresser than I was this Saturday (15 aug). Eloise did a fantastic job in cutting my overgrown locks, and adding layers. She finished by drying my hair curly which looked fab. She also used a new product (can't remember the name) on my hair which should produce better results in taming frizziness the more times you wash your hair! I'll be sure to let Eloise know how I get on. I also booked my next appointment in October. Thanks so much Eloise, see you soon x
