I thoroughly enjoyed my visit today., right from the pampering hair wash with head massage, whilst lying back in the massage chair to the very professional hair cut. Freya is always very careful to check out what I want, asks me throughout the cut about particular details and products I like and produces a beautiful result. She is friendly, charming and helpful, as are all the staff I have encountered at H&W

As a teenager of the 70's I still seem to have more hair than friends of the same age and I'm still (almost) as paranoid about it as when I was a teenager with a blonde mullet (!) so don't trust 'new' hairdressers easily, when my usual hairdresser had to go into hospital I panicked a little and let the barnet go wild. I needn't have worried, Josh listened intently and knew exactly what I wanted and put me at ease straight away with his calm, confident and friendly manner. I think my previous hairdresser just got fired ;-)

I enjoy my experience right from the start with the wash and the relaxing massage by the stylist and also the body neck shoulders and back massage in the chair. My stylist Freya is not only very talented with being able to visualise and guide me with what will suit me from the numerous pictures I show her but also she is extremely attentive and professional. She stands out. I am always pleased with my hair and the service. She is the best hairdresser I have ever had. I am so pleased I found her.
