My last visit was amazing as usual.
All the staff are very friendly & welcoming.
As soon as I arrived I was offered a drink & asked how I was.
They were busy but took the time to chat.
My head massage was so relaxing I could have gone to sleep.
The end result was just what I wanted.
I would highly recommend this salon.

I went to the colour and therapy lounge today feeling really rubbish about my hair after it had been badly damaged with bleach from a previous place. I left feeling so much more confident and hair that not only looked it but actually felt healthy. Gail listened to me and advised me what would be best.
Everyone has commented on how nice it looks today too.

I feel so much better. Thank you again Gail xx

After suffering all my life with alopecia, life without brows is something I've had to live with for a long time. Often contemplating taking the plunge and getting them microbladed but always too scared.
Along came Lois who made the whole process so personal and reassuring. She is honestly so amazing at what she does and is a perfectionist through and through.
I have now gone from no brows at all to the best ones I could have hoped for and I will be forever grateful to her!
Quite literally changed my life, giving me a bit of confidence back and saving time off my usual male up routine.
Thank you so much for all of you hard work and patience with me throughout the whole process Lois. I LOVE them! Xx
