Lovely day at the salon today. Such a lovely ambience. Jaz did Balyage on my hair today, great results as usual. Amanda usually cuts my hair but couldn’t fit me in today so she’ll cut it next week. I have extremely thick and very long hair and they do everything exactly as I request. I can’t praise them enough. I’ve been there nearly 6 hours and had a relaxing time. Plenty of tea, coffee and Mandy’s home made cup cakes. Yummy .

Absolutely amazing, it took me a year of working up the courage to take the scary step of cutting my hair short, but I felt supported the whole way with professional options and advice and things to consider. Amanda really listened and clearly understood the result I wanted to achieve and she didn’t let me down!! I am so happy and love my new look and the new confidence it has given me. Thank you so much!

As is normally always the case for me, I walk in, hair tied up, looking drab and boring, greeted with a smile by whoever is on reception and then my stylist. Honest and sincere compliments, observations and consultation. Friendly staff who equally always ensure you are comfortable from start to finish. Freshly made refreshments of your choice before the transformation begins and I walk out looking like I have a new head of hair :-) Thank you Mandy :-)
