She also recommended some products of my first visit and I’m really starting to see an improvement in my hair condition now. I’ve got another 2 bow Dry’s booked in over the next few weeks.

Popped in for a quick wash n blow before my daughter’s wedding. Everyone was so friendly and chatty and I was offered a cuppa straight away Young stylist (1000 apologies didn’t catch her name!) was really lovely and professional talking me through what I wanted and explaining the products she was applying. Loved the result and so reasonable too. Had lots of comments on my hair later. Great salon and great people - what more can I say?!
