I came to Sarah with some apprehension as I had had a few very disappointing haircuts in the past, but after an initial consultation I felt totally reassured. Sarah properly listened to me, understood what I was asking for in both style and maintenance, and delivered an absolutely beautiful haircut. She gave me tips and advice for maintenance that were totally achievable and fit with my lifestyle. I just felt that she 'got' me, and I left feeling more like myself than ever with the perfect haircut. Thank you Sarah!

My curly hair was straightened for this cut, so my natural texture and shape were ignored. When advised of how my hair texture naturally sits I was told I could 'finish the cut myself at home'

James has a very relaxed approach. I automatically felt very confident telling and showing my mood board of what I wanted to change. He listened very well and added his opinions too. His cut seems very good. The hair fell where it needed to and was very complimentary to my shape of face. Will def use James and recommend. Thank you Beckie for organising it last minute.

Great hair done by Paul. Just sad not to have the full chapel experience as no drink offered for two hours. Explained this when I left. I know there were issues with water in T Wells but small bottled of water to buy or juice would have done it and mince pies. The Chapel is an experience not just a haircut. Well done for staying open though.
