Decided to ditch the cheap barber and try Simone Thomas to get a proper haircut for my wedding. So glad it did and I will never look back. Sophie listened to my vague ramblings and kept showing me progress and checking it was what I wanted. Exceptional service all round and seems an extremely well-run salon. Apologies for not drinking the water you kindly gave me when I arrived. Thanks again - I may look vaguely smart for my wedding now, Jon

Not happy at all
Visited twice as wasn’t happy the first time . To be fair the colourist I originally saw made me aware they use Davines colour which they explained wasn’t the same as , say, Wella . However I was charged for the second appointment to go blonder which cost me almost £200 and the result was shocking. Stripy , brassy, colour application was rushed and not put near enough to the roots hence horrific regrowth fairly shortly after.
Tried to speak to the salon to get a treatment/toner but they still wanted to charge. Quite frankly I wouldn’t necer back , terrible ?

To be honest, I’m not entirely happy with my hair today. I find that the highlights have come out quite brassy, slightly stripy & golden because they weren’t lifted enough. I preferred my natural hair before unfortunately.

Finding a stylist that I could trust and felt comfortable with being able to give me what I wanted and needed was difficult.. till I came to Michelle at Simone Thomas.

She was welcoming, listened attentively to my needs and gave me exactly what I was looking for, all the staff in the salon were approachable and kind even though it was busy. Have already booked my next session with the peace of mind that there is someone to manage my difficult thick hair with ease and Grace. Thanks team!

Sharelle talked me off the ledge from going from long hair to a pixie cut by giving me a beachy choppy Bob which I totally love - and I still have hair! I'm new to the area so this was my first of many visits to come. I felt welcomed and looked after and that genuine care was taken to get the look just right for me.

I had the best experience with Tegan at Simone Thomas hair salon. I finally found a trustworthy and excellent hair stylist. The cut & finish was perfect! My hair has never felt or looked better. Tegan did an amazing job and always had in mind what would suit me.
Also, the atmosphere in the salon is incredible. Everything is very clean, modern and stylish. The whole team is very friendly and kind. The products they use smell incredible good, too! I couldn’t have asked for more. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment.

My first time at the salon, and it won’t be the last. I was made welcome and Shannon did a super job with my restyle - a graduated bob that looks as good the day after as it did in the salon. Looking forward to getting my colour done too in the future. Thank you all.
