Laura is amazing, she has a great understanding of hair and gave thorough explanations so that I could grasp my hair better. I had a safety concern (plaster from stitches) today and her and everyone were very careful and took extra precaution. End result was amazing, value is very fair and it’s a very enjoyable part of my day any time I come.

Had my hair tinted and highlighted by the very talented Liane. She always knows how I like my hair colour to look and delivers expert results every time. After my colour and conditioning treatment, I had the lovely Jack to cut and blow dry my hair. He always takes time to check the cut is perfect. Very happy!

My little boy had had a bad experience at a barbers, with clippers, so will only come here, as everyone is great and kind with him.

Laura has cut both my childrens hair very well, a few times now and I have booked myself in too. Last cut of mine was fab.

She takes time and care and makes sure each client, big or small, is happy and comfortable! Big thanks from all of us! Kids look rather cool in their new hair cuts! My daughter’s curls stayed beautiful even the next day!! Looking forward to my haircut too now!

Thank you to Adam too, for fitting us all in, somehow, this week!

Think the kids quite like the biscuits and hot chocs - so they are happy to come! So much easier now. Thanks to the team!

Christie is always amazing. I’ve recently moved and it would be much easier to go to your Radlett salon but I wouldn’t even consider having someone else cut my hair when I could have Christie do it. Amazing woman, amazing hairdresser. Thank you! I wasn’t advised about colour services because she knows I’ve no interest in that.
