Once again Alison worked her magic and now I feel much better.
I am prone to changing my mind from time to time but each request I make is no problem at the Head Gardener, and tbh no surprise to Alison.
But again, the colour is just lovely and Alison completely takes on board the problems I have with my fine frizzy hair. The staff are friendly, welcoming and happy to see you. It really is a pleasure to visit the Head Gardener and know you can rely on quality service and great results. I Highly recommend this salon, it's the best.

Nadine was marvellous. I have a sensory processing disorder that can make salon visits a bit of a trial.
I informed Nadine prior to starting, and she was very understanding. She ensured that I was comfortable throughout.
I am pleased with the haircut and service. I will definitely be back!

Cameron has grown from a dreamy Young boy, to an extremely talented, polite, caring stylist. He listens, pays complete attention to his client. I was particularly impressed when he had one of the young juniors help him, and explained to her the drying techniques, Cameron is going to go far in this industry. Another wonderful stylist from the HG stable…. Proud to be a client!

I got a few complements about my hair after I visited the salon and had my hair cut by Rebecca. Never known to book appointments so close together, I visited again after six weeks as I was so pleased with the cut she gave me. Not disappointed today. She is lovely - approachable and down to earth, with the right balance between chat and quietness. The salon itself is very busy, not surprisingly, but you couldn’t describe it as the least bit hectic. It had a lovely happy buzz about it and the staff all seem to relate to each other and to their clients very well! Impressed!
