My hair was shoulder length and I went in as a model on Thursday 12th Feb and had my hair cut and restyled by Hayley Suggitt and it was great! I showed her a pic of something I liked and she went it mostly but gave me advice and suggested a slightly different way to style my hair, which was great and I left the salon loving my new hair! Would definitely recommend her.

First time with Josie who cut my hair and Izzy who coloured it. Great team effort! Both took the time to make sure they understood what I required and checked throughout that I was happy. My hair looks refreshed and ready for my forthcoming holiday. Cannot fault such excellent customer service. It is one of the main reasons I return here. A very professionally run salon. Highly recommend Josie and Izzy. Thank you both!

7 year old daughter

We took our 7-year-old daughter for a haircut at Contemporary Yarm and it was a great experience from start to finish. She was made to feel really well looked after and at ease throughout the appointment. I can’t recall the name of the stylist, but the haircut took place on 14 January at 5:15pm and the care and attention were excellent.

The cut itself was lovely and exactly what we’d hoped for — so much so that our daughter has been proudly showing off her hair at school! We’d happily return and would recommend Contemporary Yarm for children’s haircuts

A first class experience at Contemporary once again. My hair was listless after Christmas but thanks to Sam's expertise I came out looking refreshed with a nice bouncy cut and shiny hair. Highly recommend the treatments here especially the Loreal one, well worth paying for. Sam makes the whole experience pleasurable and I always feel like a valued client here. Thank you!

I was feeling frustrated with my hair on this visit and Sam was brilliant at suggesting how she might adapt the cut to make it easier to dry. Result - it looks much better and is taking less time to dry and style. I am delighted with the outcome. It is always a great experience to visit Contemporary, an immaculate, well run salon where the staff are very friendly and approachable. The offer of a complimentary head massage when you go in is also a nice touch! Thank you.

I had Izzy for my colour and josie for the cut
I wasn’t shown a colour chart , stylists discussed between themselves . Colour was left on for a very long time , I didn’t feel like it was washed off properly. Salon was extremely busy , I was left for a while waiting for hair to be dried and cut. That then felt rushed. It was not a good experience and I feel really unhappy that I’ve paid over £100 for that. I came home and washed my hair 4 times to try to fade the colour. I feel I should be given a refund for the colour . Contacted the salon but no refund offered
