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.

She often suggests and advises me when I fancy a change and I 100% trust that she knows what suits me, I’m always happy with the result. The salon itself is lovely, the girls are all friendly, and I always have a good experience from the moment I’m greeted. Would highly recommend Claire and the salon!!
