I just love how Jaz has sorted out my blonde hair after a disastrous encounter with a another at home hairdresser! You always checks before starting what I want and discuss everything with me from toner to cut. Can't recommend this salon, Yaz and other stylists highly enough!

I was really grateful that Mandy and Jaz could accommodate me at short notice and as a first-time customer. I had a drastic re-style with a lot of length off and I am so pleased with the result. Jaz did a fantastic job, the cut is technically really good and I will definitely be a regular from now on. Thanks so much Jaz, I really appreciate the time you spent with me today.

I came into Amanda L, feeling very low. She dis an amazing fix job on my hair and can honestly say I was nearly in tears at how amazing my new hair is. Every single one of the staff are welcoming and I'm sorry I forgot your name, but the lady who washed my hair did an out of this world head massage. I experienced the new duet hair straighteners and absolutely in awe at how amazing they are. Thanks ladies ?
