Megan done the colour she was so passionate about getting it right that was so lovely and reassuring. Her experience really shone across. She sorted out old colour on my hair and gave a fresh look. Anthony complemented the colour with a healthy cut and blow dry.

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.

I like Ozzie over the last three cuts she’s styled it beautifully. I was trying a new style amd I knew it was going to take a while to settle on something that really suited. Each time she’s been refining the cut. It’s great

I am so pleased with the outcome of my hair!

For years I've always tended to hop between different hair salons - but  since getting my hair done by Ozzie I finally feel settled with a hairdresser! Even though there's nearer salons to me, she's such a talented hairdresser aswell as being such a nice person so I think it's worth the trip.

She has such an attention for detail and puts so much care into what she is doing.  And It really shows. She's did my colour so nicely and got my blonde highlights exactly how I wanted them and I got so many compliments on my hair after seeing her!

I also went back to get a keratin with her 2 weeks later and I'm so happy with the results of that too!

I highly recommend her!  You'll be in very safe hands! ?

Thank you again Ozzie! ❤️ Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Ozzie did a fantastic job cutting my hair. She made it look and feel much thicker and healthier and the way she cut it really makes the colours show. I had loads of compliments!
I also really like the plan we have in place for as my colour grows out.

One last thing, please put a handle on the inside of the toilet door. Very hard to pull the door shut holding onto the lock. Also please talk to your review provider, hard to change one makes a mistake
