Best haircut ever

I am not really a person who enjoys going to salon but my experience today was excellent and I really do like how my haircut turned out today so thank you Aysha and I will be visiting again in 8-10 weeks time and will pass on word of mouth to family and friends. Well worth the money for a decent haircut.

I have to admit I was a little nervous when I arrived for my appointment. I hadn't been to a salon for many years. I met Aysha, she immediately put me at ease. The whole experience was fabulous from start to finish. Aisha is a great hairdresser and I love my hair. I will be back.

As always, a thoughtful and well prepared cut and blow dry from Cey, who also washed my hair this time. She never cuts until we have had a proper conversation about how it has behaved since the last cut and we agree on what she will do on this visit. The only omission was a drink offer but I would have asked if I wanted one. I have been coming to this salon for a long time now and Cey always makes me feel welcome. Overall, very good value.

We visited today to have my 11yr old daughters hair cut. She has sensory issues with her hair so we don't visit hair dressers often. Today she happily let the lovely young stylist give her a much needed wash cut and blow dry. She especially loved the hair wash with the massage chair, my daughter was made to feel very comfortable and left very happy proudly informing me she will now have regular haircuts as long as we only go to ministry of hair. This is a massive thing for us and I am delighted that she now feels confident and comfortable with having her hair done so thank you and see you in 6 weeks

Hello there! I've been seeing Cey for a while now and she always creates the style/ haircut I want. I can't thank her enough for today! I am extremely pleased how my cut ✂️ turned out. I know I may be a bit tricky client as sometimes I'm not sure what I want.
As soon as I sat down this afternoon Cey looked after me, brought me lovely Moca coffee and we had amazing chat about what I want and how to adjust the style to suit me/my personality 🙂.
Thank you lots again!!! You are AMAZING ❤️
