As always, a trip to The Retreat is a pleasure. Anita is so friendly, professional and hard working. She discusses exactly what she thinks would be best for me, shares ideas and listens to me. Another great colour and cut. Wouldn't think of going anywhere else!

Have been going to the Retreat in Dedham for some time now. Even though I live in Colchester I still make the journey to Dedham to this little salon as its such a pleasant experience. Anita listens to you about your hair and then gradually, when you're ready, she'll encourage you to have a change - and she's always been right. She is a superb colourist - I was always getting compliments on my hair. Now I've gone back to my natural colour and Anita has given me a new style, I'm getting so many compliments on my new look! I've had beauty treatments at the Retreat and they have all been lovely. Got a treatment booked for January already. The service is always really friendly and relaxing but most importantly, always very professional.
