Absolutely loved this hairdressing experience. I was listened to and she explained everything she was going to do and had lots of suggestions and showed me how to style my hair. I have always struggled to like my hair and now it feels transformed and I love it! Thank you so much!

I’ve finally found a colour and style that suits my face and skin tone. I like to experiment with colour and Michele and Anna always give honest advice. I love how Anna cuts my hair and styles it. It’s a lovely salon to go to, always friendly, always professional. They also make fabulous cappuccino. With love Tina x

Mariastella is truly a balayage expert! She elicited what I was going for and explained things very clearly at the initial colour consult. Despite a booked diary she was able to accommodate me. She was very professional and I'm very pleased with the results! All the other staff are also lovely and welcoming and took great care of us.

Had my hair done by the apprentice

Appointment verified by Premier Software

I can't fault Fabia's friendliness or the other members of the salon. My hair looked nice.
The salon is clean and offer nice coffee.
I do have to say though, which I hate moaning, but feel it's necessary to advise other potential customers, they do hard sales, and really do push you to buy their products, I had dry scalp and tried to make me pay £200 for a treatment, which I then went to a doctor and got a prescription which cleared it up in 2 days.
Also online the cost was £25 for highlights or colour and £15 for blow dry. At payment cost me £80, and that was without a cut, and an apprentice training on me. I questioned this and was told because they put a toner on my hair, I wasn't asked if I wanted this, and felt quite embarrassed to question the payment. I won't be returning, due to the hard sales they did and end charge. I also over heard them telling another client she had a dry scalp and was trying to sell her a treatment. It's such ashame as I liked the people and the salon.
