Lovely cut and colour

Really happy with my cut and colour. I was unsure about going shorter but Marie has created a lovely shape that suits me. I also love my colour. I’ve returned to my natural shade but better!
Marie gave good advice about products, which have helped to add volume to my fine hair.
Always a friendly atmosphere in the salon and all the stylists are lovely and do a great job.

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 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.
