I had a lovely time, staff are all so friendly and the haircut is great - it’s nice to feel listened too and to find a hairdresser who pays attention to how *your* hair behaves and cuts accordingly. I was, however, a bit surprised to get to the till and find I was being charged £54 instead of the £38 Ladies Cut and Blowdry that I booked…I was never told there would be a price change! When I was seated I was told I’d be helped by a stylist who specialises in pixie cuts but there was no mention of that being reflected in price, if indeed that’s where the extra charge applied. I feel a bit swindled, not least because my budget is tight and the extra cost was unexpected and really inconvenient. Next time, and I will come again, please just tell me if a different stylist or certain cut will cost more.

Hi Naomi, our sincerest apologies you weren't advised that the price for a restyle with a Director Stylist would be different. You were booked in with Ryan salon owner and most senior Director Stylist whose prices of course represent his skill and level of hairdressing. It really wasn't sly - simply miscommunication, which of course we are very sorry. Please do feel free to give us a call if we can help any further and we are glad you are happy with your hair cut and salon experience.

Child's haircut and eyelashes

Team Member: Katie

Appointment verified by Premier Software

Katie was brilliant as always, trimmed my daughters hair and her fringe and redid my eyelashes. Very professional as always. My only complaint was being charged £19.50 for a child's trim, it wasn't a full haircut. That complaint has nothing to do with Katie as I'm aware she doesn't set prices, but I do feel that was a bit high considering it was only a trim.

First time Jack cut my hair I think he was still quite new too it. Since then I have been to him several times and each time he grows more and more confident. Nothing is a problem and he has a great personality. Keep up the good work Jack and many thanks for the great job you do on my hair every time. Look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks.
