I had a cut and colour with Maddie today and I’m so impressed! From start to finish I was made to feel welcome in the salon, lovely girls and the little touches didn’t go unnoticed. Maddie advised me on what colour she thought was best suited to me and she got everything spot on. Super happy!

It’s hard to put into words how lovely it is when Maddie colours and cuts my hair. There is so much expert care, fun and all round looking after it’s such a treat. Thank you Maddie xx
And also thank you to Grace. Grace washed my hair and is always so chatty and smiley. One time when she curled my hair she walked me out to the car with an umbrella! xx
Such a friendly salon thank you xx

I’ve never had a bad hair experience. Sarah is so lovely, she makes me feel comfortable, we always have a good chat. She’s honest and I like that because it helps me decide the right choices for my hair knowing she’ll never do anything that I hate whilst still having my hairs best interests at heart. Trust her completely, my hair is soft and healthy and the colour is always amazing. She makes me feel beautiful and pampered. Nothing is too much trouble and nothing is out of her skill set.

My last hair appointment I had quite a drastic colour change but didn’t like it. So today’s appointment was about changing it back to something that felt more me. Maddie talked through the options and that it would require some changes to my booking but the outcome was fantastic and love my hair. Maddie is a great stylist and rightly deserves her recent promotion to senior stylist. Great asset to Woo!
