Antonia did a perfect cut as always with a beautiful curly blowdry to perfection. She’s really friendly and makes me feel at ease. I travel a long way to come and see her. Her cut is exceptional. Thank you Antonia

I was super sad to hear Bobbi left because she knew exactly what to do with my hair. I booked an appointment with Anthony and he didn't disappoint. I now have a gorgeous sleek, blunt shoulder length cut as requested. Thanks!

Colour and highlight

I feel that Eva is friendly but i am not happy with the colour that was done for me. She had few customers at the same time and at some point she did part of my colour then left me waiting for more than 10 mins. She then came back and continued. This happened few times. When she finished I asked if she was going to the full length. She replied that before washing my hair, she will cover the end. The person washing me hair did not do it. When I asked then she said as she was washing my hair the colour covered the end too. This really upset me. An apology would have been the right thing to say that they had forgotten completely rather than treating me as stupid. I even said that I could not see the highlights. I was then told that they could see it. I have been a loyal customer for a very long time. Poli used to do my hair before and I had never been treated like this. The salon no.longer feels the same.. I should agree all staff look after themselves very well though. A little attention, care and respect would have been helpful for the customers. I used to rate the service as 5* before

Originally my hair colour didn’t turn out as I had hoped, so the team invited me to come back to the salon and they put in every effort to correct it to get the desired result. They re-lightened and re-coloured my hair, and I’m now really happy with it. Great level of care and really appreciated the service.

Not covid safe

I must admit I was very disappointed. I didn't feel safe at all throughout my time at the salon. There was no social distancing enforced at all.

During the hairwash, there was no social distancing at the sinks, I had to sit right in between two other clients and the flimsy barriers were not even secured up to the base of the sink and did absolutely nothing.

Similarly during the haircut, again I was squeezed in between two other clients, I was definetly not 1 metre apart from either and again the flimsy barriers were completely pointless.

I wanted to look at some products and was offered advise, again staff stood right next me and did not stand 1 meter away when talking.

And staff were not wearing masks properly when talking.

Please do not overbook so the salon is full. There should be a maximum of 2 customers in at a time.

Please train your staff on the importance of social distancing and the risk they are putting customers in when not adhering to simple rules.

I felt very uncomfortable and unsafe and it was not a pleasant experience.
