So so pleased True is back open, I would never go anywhere else! Always a friendly welcome and all the ladies are wonderful! I’ve had the pleasure of Niamh being my stylist on most occasions as I am quite fussy with my hair and she does the most fabulous job! Always feel so good coming out and would highly recommend :-) xx

Me & my family members using True Hairdressing & Beauty Salon for more than 4 years. Great place, lively atmosphere and very good professional hairstylists.
It's a family-run business and this is where you want to be. Phil (the owner) is a very polite & professional hairdresser who always welcome us with a great smile.
Niamh is my hairstylist and she is very good at it.
Cannot say more unless you use their services and feel good about it.
I would recommend anyone who wants to have a decent haircut.
Thank you.

Great to be back in the salon for lovely cut and colour. Niamh and Charlotte really looked after me today. Jade checked that the colour was good and ‘it turned out a treat’. I almost nodded off it was so relaxing.

I felt very welcome even though I was a couple of minutes late ... note to self, leave home earlier as the roads are busier now.

Rebooked for June thank you ?
