I had a great experience at this salon. Anya was incredibly thorough and really took the time to listen to what I wanted before we started. Throughout the appointment she explained every step of what she was doing and checked in regularly to make sure I was happy with how everything was looking.

What I appreciated most was that Anya didn’t just style my hair and send me on my way — she showed me how to recreate the look myself and gave me really helpful advice on what I can do to keep my hair healthy. It felt very personalised and professional, and I left feeling confident about maintaining my hair at home.

Overall, such a positive experience. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, takes their time, and cares about the health of your hair as well as the final result, I would definitely recommend her.

She absolutely nailed my colour — it’s fresh, rich and exactly what I wanted. She really listened to me and understood the look I was going for, and the result is even better than I imagined.
The finish and styling were just beautiful. My hair feels healthy, glossy and so well shaped. You can tell she genuinely cares about her work and takes real pride in getting everything perfect.
Such a lovely experience from start to finish. Thank you Ruby 😊

French bob

I had the most amazing experience today getting my French bob and I honestly couldn’t be happier. After having nano extensions in for 7 months, my scalp was ready for a break — and from the moment I sat in the chair I felt completely looked after.
Everything was explained clearly, there was no rush, and the cut was done with so much care and precision. The transformation is unreal. My hair feels lighter, healthier and so much thicker already. The French bob sits perfectly and feels so fresh and modern.
It’s exactly what I needed — a proper reset. I left feeling confident, refreshed and excited to style my natural hair again.
Thank you for listening, advising and absolutely nailing it. I’ll be back Friday for my colour xx

I was welcomed into the salon,my coat was taken and I was offered tea or coffee.As I do not drink either was offered a cold drink instead.Ruby escorted me to a chair and then asked what I was looking for today?I asked for a pixie cut,with shaved back,short around the ears and feathered fringe.Ruby asked how short for the back and what length for the top .I was then taken to have my hair washed, conditioned and a head massage if wanted.Ruby explained what products she was using and why .Ruby was very gentle when cutting my hair and chatted away ,which helped to put me at ease( I haven't been to a salon in over 20 years).Ruby finished by blow drying my hair and then put products on to fix the style( she explained what they were and what they did).I was very impressed by Ruby and the care given by the staff and would recommend this salon.
