It was my first time visiting the salon the other day, i was made to feel welcome by all staff! My stylist Charlie took the time to listen to what i wanted and advise on a glossing treatment for next time to help achieve a more shiny look to my hair! Charlie is very friendly and easy to talk to! Ill definitely be back!

Liv is an outstanding stylist and colourist. Every time I leave Shine I feel like I have had the ‘red carpet’ treatment. Liv always go above and beyond, I can see the effort and passion she puts into styling my hair to get it looking the best. She really does make the extra effort and I appreciate it.

As always Charlie gave me a super haircut. The service is always professional. I was however a little surprised with the increase in price. Perhaps the cost should be in line with time spent on the haircut and finish.

As always a great experience, despite the fact Emily was on her last day before maternity leave!
She took the time to listen to me regarding my hair colour and came up with the solution, what will I do without her!
Though every stylist I've ever had at Shine as always shown the same amount of professionalism. Great salon.

I’ve had my hair coloured 3 times by liv and I’m always so pleased with the results. I’ve had years of trying to colour my hair blonde and always been disappointed by the results until I started coming to see liv who exceeds all my expectations. She always listens to what I would like and give her opinion which is always needed. She makes my experience at shine feel really luxurious and like a real treat, drinks are offered and magazines throughout the treatment. All staff are so friendly. Definitely worth every penny.

Had a new colour added to my normal ones and I absolutely love the effect, I had quite a bit cut off the length so overall I feel restyled. I’m very happy with my new hair. Liv always asks how I’ve been coping with my hair and if I still like it. She will then suggest different things. The result is always good , I’m never disappointed.
