I love a weave ? but I really wanted something a bit different
Suffice it to say my unshockable partner was truly surprised that it was all my own hair.
I really like the result and would highly recommend booking in advance.

It’s a peaceful and professional environment and I really enjoyed being able to have tea any time I wanted it. A job well done ! Thank you

I love a weave ? but I really wanted something a bit different and one where I could have my own hair out for the summer

My partner couldn’t believe it was all my own hair ? takes a lot to shock him.

I had a great time. It is a long treatment but such a pleasant place. I was kept hydrated and loved leafing through the inspirational materials next to the treatment area table. It’s a peaceful and professional atmosphere.

I would highly recommend. Make sure you book in advance !

Karen Wright, herself did my hair. As the times were coming close to the end of the working day, Karen made the effort to take me on as her last client of the day. Karen made me feel relaxed whilst handling my hair through a wash and condition. I was offered a hot drink after this. Had lovely conversation throughout the trim and style.

Separately Ms Karen Wright was able to advise me on the opening of my Dance Studio in the local town.

Thank you again for your service and time.

I had a great hair appointment today. I came for a full sew in weave. The consultation was good we talked about what style I was looking for and Karen has a gentle hand for braiding. She was also very accommodating when I had to take a couple of emergency calls. I am so pleased with the finished product. I highly recommend. Also super easy to book on the app. Accurate estimate of how long the appointment will take which is a game changer for our styling. Thank you

I was grateful to be squeezed in to get my weave washed and tidied. I would highly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment! I was really happy with the results. Tangled mane became sleek.

Also bring a few images of what you’re looking for so that the consultation for your style can be as detailed as possible. I enjoyed my tea. Hadn’t managed to get breakfast so also enjoyed the complimentary snacks!
I have a challenging work schedule and some long running health issues that can make for the occasional ups and downs… so was initially apprehensive of a new salon. i was able to read some short inspirational stories while in the drier which i hope to take into my week. “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness” - Desmond Tutu

Karen is clearly a highly experienced and talented professional. She is truly adaptable, has a light touch and has created an oasis of peace. I will be back!

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.
