I always look forward to having my hair done at Contemporary. I totally trust Stephen, which is huge, love the chat, banter and his time and thought about what to try next, it means alot. Also, the wrap around service of massages, drinks etc makes this a great experience and real treat, I will always highly recommend Stephen and Contemporary to friends and family.

I’ve been a client for more than a dozen years and have always had very good service. The hairdressers really care and want the client to be happy. I feel very comfortable here. Some salons feel rather intimidating, but not here. All the staff are are lovely.

I have been going to Contempo hair salon for several years & always found the staff very friendly, professional & courteous. I love that when you are seated, you are offered a complimentary mini massage & a drink. The prices are fair & advice on hair care is 5 star. Sian always does a first rate job & I can always rely on her for new ideas & suggestions.

I usually have Gemma but Stephen has stepped up. Lovely hair colour and good cut. Last time Stephen had to answer the phone and speak to a walk in because of lack of junior assistance. It must be stressful but he was unfailingly polite and helpful.

As a long term customer I had no qualms about returning to the Salon after each lockdown. Due to Gemma’s really bad fall and being unable to continue with her own clients, Stephen, Chloe and Sian are keeping the Professional and very Safe running of the Salon going to the usual high standard it has always being. I normally have my hair doing by Gemma but in her absence Sian is doing a really good job... very thorough and continues to be her usual friendly self... as are Stephen and Chloe. I’m definately happy with the results and always look forward to my next appointment.

After being in lockdown since March, I plucked up courage to and get my hair cut. I selected ***** although I have also had my hair cut by Steve. ***** seemed distracted and my hair cut suffered, she tried to blame the wearing of a mask but when I asked how many clients had suffered my fate she said none. ***** offered to "have a look" at my hair, but I am concerned that she would not be able to improve it so I have made an appointment at another salon who I know will make a better job of my sad hair cut. Short on one side and long on the other, with long hairs left over from previous style, is not a good look. Won't be going there again.

Gemma has been with the salon for a long time and always does my hair exactly as I would like. If advice is sought, she's happy to oblige. I come back to the salon again and again as I never fail to get good service, from hair washing to head massage to styling.

Gemma is well supported by her team and she and the others are unfailingly polite. I see no reason to change.

My most recent visit was the weekend before Christmas; even though the salon was very busy the level of service was maintained regarding: welcome, consultation, shampooing, neck/shoulder massage, cut and finish. Chloe is always very professional; she cuts my hair just as I like it and she is friendly and sociable. I was very pleased with the result of my visit and it was a treat to have a complimentary glass of wind since it was the Festive Season.
