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 ?

Having only recently moved to Torpoint, I was looking for a hairdresser and luckily I chose this one, from the moment I entered the salon I was greeted by such friendly staff who made me so welcome. Chloe was superb and so professional when washing my hair and in every respect. Amanda cut my hair and I love my cut. She asked me what I wanted and I asked for her advice and I’m so glad I did because she cut my hair and what a difference she’s made. I’m so grateful and I’m booked in again in 6 weeks. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this salon to anyone. The whole experience from start to finish was outstanding. Thank you ladies.
