Liv is a miracle worker! My hair is unrecognisable since my first visit (this was my 3rd!) she listened to what I wanted to achieve and nailed it! She’s also given lots of great advice to strengthen my hair which has really helped. I honestly can’t recommend Liv highly enough! Great colourist and so easy to get along with:

I love my hair so much! Exactly what I wanted
I don’t normally like having my hair washed but oh my lord it was incredible
And the head massage made me feel all kinds of zen!

Lovely chat and consultation with Chloe to get the style just right and she didn’t disappoint.

Thank you so much!

I may return but I had to make all the conversation and it felt quite awkward. Part of the reason it's nice to go to a salon, is the chat! I had to ask when my hair was straightened that, the little bits around the temples and in front of the ears, was also done.
On the phone when booking I was told it would be a half price treatment as a birthday treat and I asked for confirmation of this. It was confirmed but turning the salon, was told that it was 50% off the blow dry and not the total.

My first time at Shine. Impressive shop front and salon styling set the scene for some much needed pampering. Lovely stylist welcomed me at the desk. Made me feel very at home, offered me a drink and even went out of her way to pop out to the shops to buy my preferred milk as they didn’t have any. Nothing was too much trouble. Helene met me at my seat and I was grateful for the opportunity of a thorough consultation with her. From start to finish Helene was both professional, knowledgeable and friendly and I left the salon feeling like a new woman. Helene delivered exactly what I had asked for yet failed to achieve at my previous salon. I couldn’t be happier. We discussed all my concerns and options for future services but with no hard sell. All the products Helene used were written on a card for me, along with details of other services we had discussed, again no hard sell. The lovely young lady that had greeted me at the start performed a patch test for me, took payment and saw me on my way with as much professionalism and kindness as she had greeted me with. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for a 10/10 experience.
