Had my lockdown long hair cut by Billy , he completely understood what I wanted style wise and his creativity and vision bought it to life. People I know who don’t really say much about hair have been complimenting my cut. The salon has a really nice vibe and Billy is truly a master of his profession.

This fantastic salon is second to none in my experience of visiting many different salons. Initial free consultation was very helpful and it got even better in the actual appointment. Their communication with clients is excellent. They spent time listening carefully and responding in detail to my exact needs. Charlie's colouring was clearly expert and she was so caring. I knew I was in very safe hands and the result (platinum blonde) was outstanding after my hopeless home attempts! Billy then did the best short cut I've ever had. It might not be cheap but it is worth it. They rescued my hair in a way no-one else was really prepared to attempt. This will be my regular salon from now on. Can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you so much guys!
