I walked in to find out what Ghost is like as it's fairly newly opened (it used to be Mane Attraction). Stylist Rachel greeted me and fit me in there and then. She is very knowledgeable and put me at ease straight away. My cut is great and I've booked my next one in. Definitely recommend.

Honestly couldn’t recommend Casey and Mane Attract enough. All the staff members were so lovely and welcoming to me throughout the whole process. I had my first ever balayage today and Casey was really attentive and listened to me and what I wanted, even explaining things to me really clearly when I wasn’t sure. Fantastic salon, can’t wait to book again.
