I have recently had surgery and all attempts were made to make me feel at ease and comfortable. This was my first blow dry with Kira but she was fabulous and did a great job thank you so much. Also Jorge who washed my hair was so friendly and got me something for my feet and helped me get up of that chair. So grateful

Love My Hair Now

I haven't been to a salon for quite a few years after a bad experience elsewhere.... I have been colouring my hair at home and hacking at it now and then which has caused many years of chemical damage without good maintenance in between. I went today to have a conditioning treatment and cut and finish with Frankie. During the conditioning treatment I received a head massage (Sorry, I am not sure the name of the junior who did this treatment), but it was amazing! The hot towel helped me relax whilst feeling out of my comfort zone and the head massage was perfect! A firm but relaxing pressure and I could have easily fell asleep.
Frankie listened to me and my needs and advised me perfectly with what would suit my lifestyle, what would suit my hair type and included what I actually wanted. I left feeling so confident and happy with my healthy and thicker looking hair (it looked dry, frizzled and just hung there before), that i wanted to go out for lunch with my husband instead of wanting to just hideaway at home. Thank you Frankie! I will now be a regular customer and absolutely love my hair.

I went to the salon with my hair in very poor dry condition with absolutely no idea how to transform the colour or condition of my hair feeling it would be beyond help with years of bleaching. Sarah worked an absolute miracle new exactly how to blend my dark roots and tone down the old over bleached blonde and made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. I cannot recommend this friendly highly professional salon enough!! Thank you all but especially Sarah!
