As always Diane does a brilliant job on my hair asks how it’s been this time tho the sun had really bleached my hair and I felt it rather brash so we went through the colours we could go for to bring it down and I took Diane’s recommendations suggesting keeping the warmer colours still but slightly darker was very pleased with the colour and as always the cut and blow dry I’m a regular customer and Diane hasn’t disappointed me and like the fact we can talk and Diane listens

Beautiful head message during the conditioning treatment, polite and friendly service.
Beautiful salon. Not over booked and noisy like most others i've been to. Was an easy going experience from start to finish which, is just what I needed!

Booked online last minute which was an absolute life saver for me and Diane was very accommodating with my requests. Just a tidy up on a short bob but she did an amazing job and we finished by discussing colour options. It’s been over a year since I last visited (for one reason or another) and they honoured the discount. Also love the massage chairs with the hair wash. Thank you. Can’t wait for my colour next week! ☺️

Abby did a great job on my colour and cut. A small misunderstanding regarding my roots but Abby sorted it straight away. Only thing I will suggest is to ask the client if they want any product before applying it. I don’t use product and had to come home and re wash my hair.
