As soon as I walked in, Gail came to greet me and did a quick consultation. She got to work straight away with my cut and colour, keeping my budget in mind. Jodie finished off the appointment with my blow dry and final trim. I had such a relaxing time! They do such a good job here that I only need to book in every 6 months or so and I always look forward to it. Thank you Gail and Jodie, I love my new do ? xx

I had a very positive experience with Gail and her team when I visited for hair colour and cut and style. Starting with a consultation and advice session, through to a great blow dry. I was given information on the products used and why they were the best for my hair. I was offered unlimited hot drinks, and the price was very reasonable too. Overall a brilliant service, I will be back soon, thankyou.

As soon as I called the salon I knew I’d be in safe hands, Eleanor was so helpful and professional. I hadn’t been to a hairdressers in 3 years so she certainly had her work cut out. But the end result was amazing, such a transformation. I highly recommend this salon, friendly, welcoming and professional team

I’ve attended The Color and Therapy Lounge for a number of years now for literally everything.. hair, brows, facials and nails. I had a lovely facial with Nicole today and she instantly made me feel relaxed. She explained the procedure throughout and even gave me some sample products to take home. My skin is glowing and feels absolutely amazing! I cannot thank all of the ladies enough for how hard they all work and how every single treatment is completed to the highest standard! Thank you so much ladies! ??
