Cut and blow dry

Cey spent time planning my cut and properly understanding what I needed as well as putting me at my ease. This was my 2nd cut with Cey and I have been very happy with both cuts leaving the salon and when looking after it myself between visits. Hair wash was also well done. Could do with a better drinks offer, I just ask for water now Then I could give a 5 star service rating!

My 11 year old son came in for a complete restyle. He had very long (down to his elbows) naturally curly hair. We showed some pictures which showed mens hairstyles that were cut close/shaved around the ears and neck but left longer curly hair on top, dropping over the forehead, almost into the eyes.
I told the stylist I was concerned about it being cut too short as there would be some 'spring back' from his curls making it look shorter.
She said not to worry and then proceeded to cut his hair far too short so that is exactly what happened. She blow dried his hair forward and straight, I assume to give the illusion of length but despite that, it still sat high up on his hairline. Now, when it's wet and curls, it's even shorter. We're now having to grow his hair to achieve the look he came in for when he had masses of hair in the first place.

That goes a long way with someone like me who doesn’t like going to the hairdressers!!!

Aysha has the right attitude and the wish to treat their customers right.she always shows me colour chart and sit with me to discuss what I want and how can I get it.
The senior stylist there named dint feel to need to have a discussion with me on my first visit which surprised me but then I kept visiting due to aysha services
I also find another stylist unasked opinion and remarks quite disrespectful that too towards your clients.he was unprofessional the way he treated me ,one needs to have some kind of rapport if you wishes to comment but he never even greeted me and passed distasteful remarks.

My first time coming here after my sister and mum both recommended having came multiple times. An outstanding service , all staff were friendly and very welcoming and helpful. As the customer I felt very well looked after and cared for , unlike any other experience I’ve had before. The haircut itself looks amazing even if I was difficult and had no idea what I actually wanted and probably contradicted myself 1000 times , the result was amazing and I’m very pleased with it. Çeylan was amazing as well, made me feel very comfortable as I get very anxious pre haircut and I loved how she kept checking in regularly to make sure if I was happy with what she was doing or if I wanted anything. Will absolutely come back in the future :)

I've not been into a salon to have my hair done in years, I generally find them really intimidating so was really nervous going in..
Sam was lovely! We discussed my needs and she gave me options. She made me feel relaxed and confident. I LOVE the colour she has done for me.
I then had a consultation with Sally - again, friendly and filled me with confidence!
I love my new hair!! Thank you so much ladies
