Just got back from another lovely hair pampering session at Hunter and Walsh. Great venue, chilled pleasant atmosphere (even though it was really busy) and fantastic team of professional stylists and assistants. It's not just about having your hair done, it's the whole experience from walking in the door to leaving. Eloise has been my stylist for about 5 years now and she's easily the best I've ever had. She really listens and has taken the time to understand my frizzy thick hair and what works best. Can't wait to go back again soon

The coffee is good and you get a pastry at weekends , Viv has been doing my hair for about 12 years now and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. She knows exactly what I like and even Pins new short hair styles for me on her Pinterest board. She is confident to try the edgier styles with me. I now consider her my friend and I love the chats we have on my visits. I can’t recommend them enough!!

Hi Frances, thank you so much for pointing this out, we have had problems with that door and are waiting for the company who supplied it to replace it for us.
I love your idea of having a waiting area where you can help yourselves to drinks. The bar is down the far end of the salon, perhaps we could move the waiting area there? I will have a think about that, it would solve the draughty door issue as well.
Thank you so much for your feedback and great ideas.
