I’ve been trying to grow the colour out so have been pulling it back and not showing it off anyway. Now, however, very pleased with the face framing layers.

I have now had two mud treatments and am so pleased with the results so far. My scalp is not so red and inflamed, it feels more alive now. I have very fine hair and already it is looking better and feels thicker. I wish I had known about this treatment a long time ago. Anna is so knowledgeable and explains everything about what is happening to your scalp/hair. I cannot recommend this treatment enough

Visiting Unique is like being pampered for an hour
Anna gave my tired dry hair a divine fragranced mask which made it feel amazing so light and soft. We discussed how I’d like my hair trimmed and me and my hair could feel the difference and tried a more modern and natural looking style. As always it really suits my face my hair and my personality. Anna is so brilliant at what she does and always makes me feel great for the rest of the day and beyond because my hair looks so good, and this is not exaggerating as I’m writing this review in the evening and despite being out in wind and rain twice my hair still looks and feels great.

Went to ask about my hairloss as I was going bald.. I was embarrassed when I went in to make appointment but was made to feel comfortable immediately I entered the salon with a friendly warm welcome.
I've been visiting weekly for treatment now and my hair is so much thicker and growing wells much healthier.
Also have my hair coloured instead of doing it myself and ruining my hair.
So pleased my son referred me there.

I have very fine short hair, Mariastella understood my ‘frustrations’ and had some great advice regarding colour, styling and the possibility of having a perm to give my hair body (she assured me they have changed a great deal since the 80’s!) have booked in for a colour and getting my hair a little longer for a perm. The first time ever since a hairdresser gave me some options rather than just bleaching my hair and keeping it really short. Thank you
