Frankie started with an excellent consultation with regards to my colour. Very thorough whilst giving me options and listened to what I wanted. The end result being a lovely cut that I can also do myself along with the exact results that I was after for my colour. Thank you Frankie

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Jayne for doing my hair for my wedding, after having a trial with Jayne I was so pleased with how well she did my hair and it looked even better on the morning! Couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out and it lasted me the whole day. Thank you again

I had a lovely experience with Maddie at Woo today! My hair was desperately in need of a new lease of life. It had been very long and thick, but I’d experienced quite a lot of hair loss, which had left it feeling straggly and much thinner than I was used to. I was even contemplating going for a long bob!

Maddie was amazing and really reassured me that my hair was still thick. She helped me decide on the perfect length and took around 6 inches off while still keeping it nice and long. It now feels and looks so much healthier, fuller and fresher. I absolutely love it! Thank you so much, Maddie — you were amazing! ❤️

Absolutely in love with this salon! ❤️ I come here regularly for my colour and haircut, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. My stylist is absolutely amazing — so talented, professional, and always knows exactly what will suit me. Every single time I leave the salon feeling beautiful, confident, and completely obsessed with my hair! ✨

I trust her 100% and wouldn’t let anyone else touch my hair. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the whole experience is such a pleasure. My favourite salon and my favourite stylist — I can’t recommend them enough! ❤️✨
