Great service from Jay as usual. She knows my hair so well and is so knowledgeable about what looks good on me. She is a lovely warm and friendly person who I always look forward to seeing when I visit the salon. Only issue the salon was freezing as there was no proper heating and I was very cold when I left after sitting for over 2 hours. It kind of spoiled the experience.

I'm fussy, and it has taken me a long while to find another hairdresser I like (my last one emigrated to Australia). She takes her time to listen and advise

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.

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.
