I used to be a regular client prior to the pandemic , so to win a raffle prize of a cut & blow dry at Retreat was a lovely surprise & I was looking forward to my appointment, It was a lovely treat after years of a home hairdresser etc . There is something very enjoyable about having a regular hairdresser at your chosen salon which enhances the whole experience , & I've missed that . Ellie G was lovely & gave me a great cut ,

Had a consultation with Ellie G, and I instantly knew we were on the same page. I have very difficult hair! I am so pleased with my cut and blow dry 9/12/2025. It was nice that Ellie also washed my hair and applied a treatment, she also did the best head massage. My experience was great from start to finish. A nice team atmosphere, and a glass of prosecco 🥂 Excited about the journey to get my hair nice and healthy again.

I had two lovely colours put in my hair all done very meticulously and perfectly by Tiffany who I had very happily elected to do it to further her skills in colour application. With Marie on hand to help if needed the result was perfect and I was extremely impressed with the two colours in my hair. Perfect result as usual and shows the help , training and encouragement Marie gives to all her staff at all levels .

I was a new client and had to rearrange my booking due to a family bereavement. There was no issue and I was rescheduled easily and with kindness. The new client cut and blow dry was lovely - especially the head massage which was much appreciated and gave me a much needed lift. Staff couldn’t do enough to make you happy and relaxed. I’ve booked my colour follow up already. Cut and blow dry was wonderful with Gillian. Would highly recommend.
