I came for a haircut yesterday 4/1/21 and was seen by Antonia. She was a lovely lady and new exactly how to style my hair. I usually see the same lady for my haircut for last two years but she wasnt working on days i could come in. Antonia did a great job and everyone has been complimenting my hair. Thank you so much to her a real asset to your team.

Colour is too dark

I only had my roots done. At home later i could see the colour was way too dark and brownish than the rest of my hair is. The rest of my hair is between to light orange to strawberry blond, and, that what i wanted my roots to be.
I think its because the colour on my hair was left way too long. I will have to re- do it at home now (remove the colour and re- do the colour the match the rest of the hair), im not pleased about that.

Tony always makes me feel special and sophisticated during and especially after my new hair cut/style. It’s so relaxing and I like the way he concentrates on the job in hand, never too chatty so I get to really unwind and relax as I enjoy being pampered.

I went in with only a vague brief - more colour, shorter but not a bob, something a bit funky. Ozzie worked miracles. She came up with a great idea and turned that into reality. The cut and colour are both amazing and really reflect my style. I couldn't be happier.

He is amazing. He never does it wishy washy. It takes him over an hour to do a short hair cut, with precision, passion and skill. I love his work and people always compliment my hair. He is a true artist and I appreciate his artwork immensely.

First time back in nearly 7 months and service was fab as always. Love the curly blow dry that Fizz done and had loads of compliments - normally I get Fizz to leave the curls in so I can take out the clips when I get home however as I was going straight out after my haircut I gave Fizz the opportunity to see her work with curls by taking out clips and giving the hair a bit of a shake.

Unfortunately the massage chair’s foot rest wasn’t working so hope this gets fixed soon (although I was given an option of a chair with footrest it didn’t have a massage function).

I had toner done yesterday and a rough dry. I am very happy with the end result. It is not a expensive and improves the look so much.
I would encourage people to have this and hence reduce the frequency of colouring and damage to the hair.
