Had my hair cut today by the lovely Sam. Upon arrival they ask you to sanitise your hands, take your temperature. Staff are very spaced out in the salon and they also wear PPE. I felt very comfortable and safe sitting in there. And I got a brilliant haircut.

Waited nearly 4months for my appointed with Nadine and so worth waiting for, went a little lighter cut and treatment, blow dry and felt fabulous after so glad I waited. Nadine is fabulous at what she does and makes you feel totally relaxed too. I wouldn’t go any where else so Nadine is stuck with me forever she has totally changed my hair life and I’m just loving every moment with my hair now ??? xx

After being locked away for months I walked into my appointment with Sam looking like Robinson Crusoe (minus the beard)
Came out looking and feeling like a star.
Sam just always knows what you want and your hair needs. Amazing cut as always and finished off in a beautiful blue colour.. Though you're there for hrs it flies by as Sam makes you feel so welcome and like part of his family. The whole team are so welcoming and friendly. If you've never been here and don't know what you want to do with your hair pop in and see Sam( Or any of the stylists) He'll instantly make you feel comfortable and after a quick chat will know exactly what to do. That's what I did 2 yrs ago and won't go anywhere else now..

After several weeks of lockdown hair growth it was a relief to get my locks freshened up with a nice colour and cut from the lovely Hannah. Bye bye roots, hello glam hair!

Hannah did a fabulous job of bringing my dull, tired Hair back to being shiny, soft & a great colour.

Lovely to see all the Strangeways Team & also a shout out to Joe for the wonderful head massage - just heavenly..
