I wanted a peekaboo style hair colour and was guided comfortably and professionally from consultation to hair day. Sam was kind and efficient. Would recommend her to my friends! Other ladies helped with washing my hair and they were nice too. The salon was quiet and clean, very chill even when servicing multiple customers.

Sam is a lovely, talented hairdresser who did my highlights beautifully. She’s professional, friendly, and clearly excellent at her job. I’d been searching for a good hairdresser for months, and I’m so glad I found her. I’d happily recommend her to everyone — I left the salon feeling genuinely happy.

My grey hair was not covered at all, and didn't take the color, results was quite different from what I expected, considering the amount I paid, the service wasn't worth the cost.

Huge thanks to Charleigh for my cut and blow dry tonight - I haven't had my hair cut for a long time and it was very scraggy and out of shape.

Charleigh took the time to provide a consultation talking through what I wanted, how I wear my hair, face shape and how angles of hair worked.

During the cut and blow dry Charleigh was personable and we had a really good conversation. She made me feel comfortable and pampered.

I'm over the moon with my new cut and I'd be very happy to book again with her as my stylist.
