Emma lovely as usual, very efficient and intuitive re cutting. Very happy with colour.
PS your coffee is undrinkable. Also this is the third appt in a row that has had to be changed and means the customer has to compromise on when it happens and what is accomplished.
I for one am happy to wear reused gowns rather than have more plastic go to landfill

Hi Amanda, delighted you are really pleased with your cut & Colour. We have invested a huge amount in coffee with a barista standard machine that provides fresh bean to cup coffee using a really high grade fair-trade organic coffee bean’s. We are happy to provide a gradual coffee alternative if you prefer that no problem at all.

I am very sorry you have experienced rescheduled appointments obviously like many Businesses at the moment are still suffering post covid and sickness is something we are still dealing with from time to time as ever we will always do our best to ensure your appointment is of minimal disruption should we face a challenge on the day of stylist sickness.

We have introduced gowns to the salon again to offer clients then option between laundered gown and a fresh disposable gown so in future you will be able to make a choice that suits you.

as ever we are always trying to improve our service and your feedback is important in order for us to improve.

Great experience

I have been going here for a number of years and always found the staff professional and felt very safe through covid.
I am now going through cancer treatment and Emma and Lucy B (who would normally colour my hair) could not be more kind and caring and make me still feel special. Nothing is to much trouble for Emma to make me feel better about my hair and she is so thoughtful.
Would definitely recommend

Hair no problem and stylist great. Always confused on the variation in price that has gone on for years, sometimes less sometimes more, very frustrating and confusing. Appreciate length of hair and status of stylist, number of packets etc but the pricing has no correlation. I have very short hair always have! Can chat if it’s easier thanks as this has now gone on for years

Hi Clare, I have been back over your bills for the last 14months and I can see the price has always been the same. Your few foils have always been a fantastic price of £20 and a small charge for the wash and dry off of £5 a total of £25. Your cut & Blowdry’s that we see you for in-between the colour appointments has remained at £43 with our more senior member of the team. We are happy to go through this with you at your next appointment and rest assured we take and changes in our pricing very seriously and only make changes when we really have to as we understand the pressure this has on everyone.

Excellent as always!
