Emily has been my hairdresser for a few years and her attention to detail is exceptional. I look forward to my visits as I know am in great hands. Each time I receive the best highlights, cut and finish. It is always a lovely relaxing experience. The other staff at Shine are so attentive, from offering you drinks frequently to giving a lovely hair wash and good front of house service.. Thank you Emily and Shine team x

Not really a fan of going to the hairdressers however I was made to feel really relaxed & Alice was an absolute superstar. She sat me down and properly discussed a style with me & made sure I was completely happy with it. I am extremely pleased with the finished cut & will definitely be visiting Alice again. Thank you so much

Fantastic service. I have been coming to Shine for 7 years now. I always have trust in Emily, she listens to what I want and then puts her own ideas across which I need and always come out happy. I also have the Yuko treatment done by Emily. I don’t know what I would do without this treatment and Emily does everything to perfection. She ensures that your hair is ok for the treatment to go ahead and although this is a long process, Emily remains in high spirits and I know I will get the best results.
I previously had Zoe who has also been amazing but is now on Maternity leave.
