I needed a hair cut less than 2 weeks before my wedding. I am new to the area and so finding a stylist was a bit scary but Gary was amazing. Such a lovely man, who put me at ease with his confidence and kind manner. He made my time in the salon a delight with wonderful conversation and a beautiful result. I’ll definitely be back.

Gary is great fun and, importantly, immensely experienced. He always responds positively to my styling requests and I know my hair will be cut well. Claire is also a brilliant colourist who goes to great lengths to achieve the best results. It is a treat to be in such a stylish and relaxed environment. Coffee is excellent too. I always leave smiling.
I highly recommend this salon.

I’m a new client who came across the salon given its new location - I was delighted to be seen for a patch test and appointment all within a couple of days. A relaxing morning in the salon for a full head of colour and cut with Claire. She explained and gave me choice with the colour, cut carefully and even finished with a lovely blow dry and curl! Will certainly be back.

I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for fantastic hair that you love ❤️ . Brilliant staff that really listen and care . And that you leave the salon feeling like a million dollars . I would not go any where else I am a loyal customer who has compliments about her hair everywhere I go and that is thanks to the fabulous talent of the stylist . I recommend you find out for yourself
