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.

This is my second time visiting Ellie after a not such good haircut at the previous salon visited. Ellie understood exactly what I wanted and how to cut my hair so it can be worn straight or using my natural curls something that be can quit challenging. She has given me advice regarding colouring my hair and how we go about sorting out some banding I have. I just want to thank Ellie for an amazing service from start to finish. The salon is welcoming and everybody is so friendly.

As usual, I had a lovely experience with Liv today. I came in for a balayage, cut and finish and I love it so much. You can tell how much Liv knows about hair and also her passion for her job as we went through what I would like and she explained the different ideas and options for what she could do. There were many moments where I almost fell asleep as she is very gentle and the atmosphere in the salon is extremely relaxing.
