Lovely salon and lovely stylists

What a lovely, salon! Been here three times now, first time I had the lovely Anna for a cut and style. Such a lovely, chilled person. Did an amazing job of my cut and style. Left feeling happy and relaxed. Second Time I had the Lovely, Cheerful Frankie for a half head Balayage. Such a vibrant person who had me in fits of giggles with her fun personality. Did an amazing job of my hair balayage journey. Third time just before Christmas booked in with Anna for full head Balayage. Looooove it! Thank you x

have a lovely Christmas and will be back again in the new year.

I visited the salon for highlights and a cut and blow dry, Maddie was brilliant from start to finish. The appointment was relaxing, she advised me on what would suit me and how to maintain it, I ended up with a totally different cut than I’d initially been considering just because she took the time to talk to me and I love the result! Everyone in the salon is welcoming, from cups of tea to a head massage, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Woo Hair salon and Maddie!

Excellent customer service due to being rushed for time I had to change parts of my booking and maddie didn’t make an issue of it, she sped things up so I could still get a colour and cut and leave at the time I needed to. Along with that I forgot my purse, again made no big issue of it and just requested to ring up or pop back in to pay when convenient. Never felt like I was being a pain although I clearly was 😂
