Anna has been cutting my hair regularly for the past year or so.
This was my first colour with her. She was very helpful giving advice on shades etc and I was so pleased with the end result.
Anna is so lovely and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to others.....thank-you so much!

I met Anna a couple of years ago - where my hair had gone through a massive change. I’d gone from having very thick lions mane type hair to a little wispy creature. Anna from the get go was so kind - my hair was falling out so much I was worried it’d be gross for everyone washing my hair. Anna from the get go was amazing - made me feel really confident; listened to me - relished the challenge of trying to help me feel better about my hair - and she has. I love coming to Woo - all the staff are awesome - if never move from them now: if you are a bit worried about your hair - then Anna is the one to choose. Two years down the line and regular appointments - and my hair is getting back to where it used to be. I feel like anxiety stopped me going to the hairdressers for a long time but Anna solved that for me. She’s just a little beacon of positivity and so talented.

As a hairdresser it is hard to find someone to cut your hair as you like it. After my recent hair disaster from another salon I put my faith in Sarah to make me feel normal again. Sarah did an amazing job and took her time to make sure my hair cut was perfect. She is a lovely lady and makes you feel very relaxed. I would highly recommend Sarah and will definitely be going back.
