A wonderful experience as always

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I had my hair coloured by Tiff today and cut by Gillian, and I couldn’t be happier with the result!

From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted so warmly by the whole team, with everyone taking the time to say hello. There’s always such a lovely, lively atmosphere in the salon, with plenty of smiles, chatter and laughter, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. I wanted to make a few changes to my colour, and Tiff completely understood what I was looking for and worked her magic. Gillian, as always, (along with others in the past), just seem to know exactly what I like and what suits me, and has given me the perfect cut and blow-dry.

Another lovely experience from start to finish. Thank you all! ❤️

Then when i got back to have it cut she was busy with some other lady i was still sitti.g there 25 minutes later she said she be 10 minutes the other lady had areived early so she started on her. Why should i have to wait when i already had an appoitment.i had some where to be as well after. Then had a male come over and cut my hair was no discussion how much i wanted cut off.

I brought my 13 year old daughter to Retreat today for her first appointment with Tiffany and from the moment we walked in I was really impressed. The staff are all very friendly and professional and Tiffany really took care the make sure my daughter was comfortable and listened to. The style was exactly right but it was the atmosphere was what impressed me most, it felt like a real team in the salon and the consultations I could hear with other clients all seemed of a very high standard.

Today I had another haircut by Gillian. I am a mature woman who can honestly say that Gillian is the best hairdresser ever! She listened to my concerns, she finds helpful solutions and then she just knows the best cut for my hair and face shape. I have had more compliments about my hair since Gillian has been cutting it than ever. I also love her bubbly personality. I come away having had more than just a brilliant haircut. The very caring young lady who washed my hair also gave me a very needed lovely head massage. Thank you Retreat and thank-you Gillian.
