As always Nadine surpasses herself everytime. Great cut, colour and she does the best blowdry. I've only marked down on the atmosphere because of what the world is going through right now. Normally the salon is buzzing.

It was super to me Rachel today in the salon. She greeted me with a big smile. She was very professional and polite. Rachel listened to me when I explained how I wanted my hair cut and coloured. I was very pleased with the end result and felt that Rachel had done a fantastic job on my hair after a few months of lock down! Thank you for making me feel so much better ?

I recently went back to Strangeways for the first time since Covid and even during these difficult times, my experience was still fabulous! The staff were professional, friendly and as welcomes ever. My stylist Sam did the best job as always and especially after recently having my baby it was refreshing to feel a little bit more like my old self again! X

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!
Always made to feel welcome and you don't notice the "new normal" visors after a while.

First time back since January & firstly, I couldn’t have felt safer and well looked after from a health & safety perspective!

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..

Thank you all of you x
