I’ve been going to Karen Wright for just about over a year now and every time I go in I’m absolutely thrilled with the results and I always get loads of compliments on my hair. Karen is brilliant at what she does and always gives helpful advice. I’d definitely recommend this lovely little salon to anyone wanting great hair.

Good service, but hair cut does not suit my lifestyle

Great salon, I have visited a few times. Service is efficient and always on time.
I swim alot,so my hair gets damaged. I usually put my wet hair in a bun for work, because it is quick and easy.

Today I got a keratin treatment and that went well.

I also got a trim, and then a cut to even out the edges. It looks OK, if I wear my hair out.

Unfortunately when got home I realised it was too short to put in a bun. My hair style does not suit my lifestyle. It will grow back soon, but I will have a few awkward weeks of difficult styling. I did explain that my hair is always in a bun,so other styles do not appeal to me.

I enjoyed my experience at Karen Wright Salon - no need to be nervous! It's been years since I've been anywhere to have my hair done so was a teeny bit on edge. Karen put me at ease and did her thing. I'll be visiting again!! ?

Went to get a Silk Press & Trim with my mom who got her hair braided. Both styles turned out fantastic and 2 days later we are still enjoying the hair. The staff were super friendly and the conversation was positive and uplifting. Expect great service and ambience.

Best salon experience I had

It was a long time since I attended a hair appointment and was not prepared at all with the choice of treatment and service I wanted .
I arrived on time and was seen by the salon receptionist Stephanie who was very welcoming polite and listened to what I required with patience and understanding.
I was introduced to the salon owner Karen Wright again I received a very thorough consultation and because I wanted a colour applied to my hair a patch test .
After making my decision regarding my colour and passing the patch test I followed up with a appointment to do my hair
again Karen had time to talk me through various options regarding the style I would like and what process wpuld be suitable to my lifestyle and be easy for me to manage .
Karen put me at ease and gave me guidance which allowed me the time to think about the options available to me . No pressure at all but support in making a good decision about what I wanted to do with my hair The salon is a great place for New clients to attend especially if you want good service with quality products used and most of all if you want a stylist who really cares about your hair as if it was thier own this salon would be just what you need .
