I bless the day I discovered Reef. I have always left the salon confident that I couldn't have been given better styling/colouring anywhere else. Combine that with talented staff who really care for and support their clients
Matt today - brilliant as ever.
All the staff are excellent. Thank you.

Eleanor is the best! Lack of childcare meant I had to bring my 5 year old son with me and the whole team couldn't have been nicer with us. An extra special mention to Ellie who really made a big effort with him. Both girls are such an asset to the Reef team. Of course, my hair was perfect as always. Eleanor gives the best advice, recommending products and tips on how to style my hair.

For me Reef salon is my escape, I know I am going to come away relaxed, recharged and happy with my service. Having a very hectic lifestyle this is the only little time out I have for myself and the service, value and result is worth every penny. I really have found my forever salon which has took its time but after now being apart of reef for over 2 years I feel so at home when I come here, the team are amazing and go above and beyond. My hair is always everything and more that I could ask for.

What a brilliant salon experience from start to finish from a warm welcome at reception to discussing my wishes with Eleanor! She created exactly what I envisaged for myself, the colour was beautiful, vibrant and glossy and had a good length taken away. I took on her advice and felt totally at ease with her creativity! All the staff were lovely and had a wonderful scalp massage while getting my hair washed. I cant recommend this salon enough! Thank you!?
