Always great welcome.
My blow dry is great.
Colour not as I previously had, somehow darker and more dull. Being winter, it’s ok I presume. I’m hoping that the toner will eventually fade??

I am so happy with this cut and style. Shana styled my naturally wavy hair into loose ringlet waves, which looked festive for a party, later that day. And the cut is so precise and flattering that it still looks smart, days later. I am a new client and Shana made me feel very welcome. . The salon is buzzy and vibrant with a full house while also being very effectively run and comfortably friendly

Can’t thank you guys enough. I came in looking Very unmanageable!! Hadn’t been to a salon for years. Walked out a new woman. Even came back a few days later to have the SUPER grey hair enhancement done. Now my salt and pepper is just beautiful sparkly grey and dark slate background. Looks amazing. Feel like a new woman. Thanks sooo much. I highly recommend it. Super friendly and relaxed salon with a team of wizards in house. Very happy. Thanks

I booked a cut and blow-dry for a birthday treat and saw Adrian who has seen me before. I had a wonderful start to my day, we talked through my thoughts of a style change vs freshening up my existing style and I'm really pleased. Thanks so much and see you soon.

First time having my hair cut and blow-dried with Christie. I wanted to try something a bit different to my usual trim up. She looked at the pictures I had brought along, gave me some advice on the styles, and eventually I decided on a photo of Reece Witherspoon's haircut! ? I loved it the moment the cut started to take shape and once it was dried and finished, it looked amazing. I walked out the salon fit for the Red Carpet! Thank you, Christie, I'm so thrilled with my hair! x

From the initial consultation to my gorgeous new hairstyle the team were welcoming, suoer friendly and, more importantly, talented and skilled. Sharn (im sure ive spelt thst incorrectly!) gave me a beautiful colour and was so welcoming. Jack is a very talented stylist, took so much care and gave me a fantastic new style! Adam and the rest of the team were so friendly. I will definitely be back and would recommend them in a heartbeat! Thank you so much guys!
