Great professional staff in all areas, I was firstly greeted by Natasha, then I met Rebecca and we had a chat about how my hair was and what I would like to achieve this visit. I then moved over to have my hair
washed along with a lovely head massage , then back to Rebecca for a fabulous hair cut. As I left the salon I was delighted with the result, my thanks to Rebecca and the rest of the team xx

As usual the staff were absolutely brilliant. Everyone is very caring, professional and friendly. My haircut today was special as I have just started chemotherapy so the junior and the stylist adopted the right gentle approach. Brilliant. And Natasha is an amazing manager and person. What more could one ask for

Disappointing

Had my hair highlighted and cut. Colour was great. Cut not so much. Speedy cut with most of the time being spent on the blow dry which sets one up for failure. Who amongst us has the skill and 45 plus minutes to blow dry. The cut was mediocre at best. Lasted one hair wash cycle. Felt ripped off tbh. Even the lovely Natasha could only say, " Well, it's good to have a refresh." I'm harsh but it costs a lot of money and it feels as if, as people get older, they are seen as just fodder rather than people who actually want to look half decent with a bit of edginess about them. Not everyone is 20 with long, long locks! Make an effort and listen to your clients. I asked a few times about the direction we were headed to be told he hadn't finished and was drying it first then would finish cut. That didn't happen.
Overall... disappointing.
Watched one of the Hob reels and the guy cutting/training said.. go edgy or go average. Say no more. I don't think my cut even achieved the accolade, "average".
I could, and should, have raised this at the time.. but we left the following day for 4 weeks away. It's hard to do so. Only reviewing now after getting hair cut and sorted at another salon.
I cancelled the scheduled return visit. Two attempts are more than enough.

Never used the salon before as visiting from Ireland for my son’s wedding. Umesha was very attentive, understanding & worked with my idea for hair updo to fit with mother of the groom headpiece. Also used my grandmother’s Pearl head pins for decorative touch. Excellent service. Natasha, the Manager, with whom I made the phone booking was very welcoming. Would highly recommend the salon & use again when back in the area. Thank you girls xx

Overpriced & Underwhelmed

Rachel
21st Dec 2021

Lovely salon and manager but very underwhelmed with the quality of my balayage for the price. Very little discussion or care from the stylist about what I wanted and seems could use a lot more training on colouring as felt very ‘run of the mill’ job - not personalised at all - the colour was very one dimensional for a balayage. £182 to come away feeling like such a waste of time and money. Also, mouthing ‘for f’s sake’ to a colleague about another customers colour should have been a red flag in hindsight.
That said, the next lady who cut my hair was so much more engaging and did a nice job.
