I recently took my 3 yr old daughter to the salon for her first hairdressing experience. It having been lockdown she hasn’t been in a salon environment before (that she would actually remember anyway!) and so I was a little worried she’d be overwhelmed. Caroline engaged so beautifully with my little girl (and she made a friend for life!) whilst Emma did two lovely French plaits for her. It was so intuitive of Caroline to get down to her level and engage her in the right way, to make it all seem fun and not too much for her. She didn’t need to do so but she took the time too.
My little girl loved the experience
that was created for her and therefore it was actually a lovely experience for me too!
Caroline also did me an incredible blow dry and added some gorgeous soft highlights to my hair. My hair is perfect! And I am incredibly fussy (just ask Georgia who I usually see!)
Georgia also is incredible at her art and the first person in a long time who took the time to listen to what I wanted to achieve with my hair, and managed to deliver it after a really bad colouring experience elsewhere that I’ve been trying to correct for over a year now!
Overall, not only the results your talented stylists deliver but also the experience and customer service - it is consistently excellent.
So thank you :)

A balayage with Steph is another level! I needed a complete restyle and Steph got exactly what I wanted! That never happens with other hairdressers I’ve visited! I travel an hour to visit Steph and it’s totally worth it! I always feel like a million dollars when I leave! Love our chats too!
Thanks so much Steph! Ill be back again soon! Xx ps thanks for the yummy toastie! Xx

A radiance facial with Shadi taught me so much! Shadi has a nursing background, so I felt in very safe hands. I am already saving money on unnecessary, and possibly damaging skincare products that I had been using, and my facial skin is already more radiant. Thank you so much, Shadi!

Nicki always styles my hair magnificently. Tall order as I request a Piers Bronson( James Bond) look and specific request to knock off ten years! Really enjoy our Tate a rates , plus superb coffee and sandwiches. Mike always greats me by my first name and we engage in boys banter re sport. I love the whole experience with the younger girls always attentive and helpful.
Long May Steph and her team be left to crack on after a very difficult time adjusting to COVID. Well done everyone.

If you need some calm and relaxation in your busy life, or to benefit from understanding how you could potentially improve your health; I cannot recommend highly enough that you try foot reflexology with Debbie. She has the touch of an angel. Reflexology, in the right hands, can put an insomniac to sleep - I should know! And I'm still feeling the benefit days later. Thank you Debbie!

Georgia always does an amazing job, cannot fault her at all but I do hope you can get back to normal soon. Paper towels and long hair don’t go, I was soaked down my back and the plastic gown just started let’s the water run down. Please please bring back proper towels and gowns.
It was lovely to be able to have a coffee in an actual cup, so some steps to normality…….let them continue

I was postponed at last minute. and asked to come in 2 hours later I turned up at the later requested time. Steph still not there, no apologies just palmed off on someone else. Felt very stressed and angry as no apology given. I am disappointed with my hair, the colour is not as good as usual. I have been a customer for over 20 years but yesterday I felt I was treated like a nuisance not a valued customer.

Hi Amanda
My sincere apologies this was my fault entirely.
I went into hospital in an emergency and the team were left to try and accommodate a full schedule, they should really have cancelled your appointment entirely, but I think they did their best not to disappoint you and ended up doing so anyway so lesson learnt.
As you were a very late booking and the salon was already completely full it has been a learning curve for all of us when emergencies happen.
We value your loyalty and thankyou for taking the time to give your valuable feedback we don’t demonise mistakes we do our very best to make changes in case we ever have another situation like this. ( I sincerely hope not)
But I take full ownership of you being disappointed
Many thanks
Steph x

Curly Girl happiness

As a curly girl it is really difficult to find a stylist/salon who embrace curls and know how to deal with them. I am so grateful that I ended up in Steph’s chair, she knows exactly what to do with curls and has ensured this knowledge filters out so that even the way it’s washed and prepared for the cut is respectful of the curls!! It makes such a difference to the outcome and is still such a rarity. Steph is forensic in her approach to hair and spent time identifying my curl patterns and working with them to achieve a wonderful result. I couldn’t be happier and I couldn’t recommend Steph more highly. Thank you so much!! X

I have never really loved the salon experience until I started going to HNB! The whole team are warm and welcoming which creates such a lovely atmosphere and the salon itself is absolutely gorgeous. I regularly see Georgia and I believe she is a hair magician! She listens and never fails to deliver. Steph and Georgia are the most talented stylists I have ever come across and this is only highlighted by the amount of people i have had stop me and ask me where I get my hair done, it became a bit of a running joke between me and my work colleagues!
