Hadn't been in for 9 months due to... life. Toni immediately made me feel so welcome and relaxed. I used to feel nervous going to get my hair cut but not anymore. Toni is so lovely and very patient especially with all my erms and I'm not sure, and seems to have the ability to know exactly what I'm thinking for my hair! Love my fresh new do, my hair feels amazing and now looks so healthy. Can't recommend her highly enough.

A decent cut for my daughter. Spent ages waiting a the counter to be acknowledged as the assistant is on the phone shifting appointments. Happens every time. A mix up with timings but all resolved. A good cut and pleasant service with Chloe. Customer relations could be a bit better.

Blow dry

Worst bouncy blow dry I have received. I have thick hair and was done in literally 20 mins. The stylist was running 30 mins behind schedule, so started on me at 12, and was done by 12.20! Hair was still a little damp from roots and back so asked her to blast it a little more. Doesn’t even look like a professional blow dry. Flat and dry looking. I’m sorry but more training is required for her to be advanced in this industry! Will not use this salon again especially for the price I paid when I could have done a better job myself.

Toni provided excellent service, listened to me and proceeded to style my hair as I wanted. I was very happy when I left the salon. Tonight also provided a very relaxing head massage when she washed my hair!! Highly recommend the salon, immaculately clean and very welcoming.

Very happy with hair trim and blow dry. Laura talks about what is needed and cuts accordingly. Young girl who washed my hair and gave head massage was gentle, which was appreciated.
An altogether good experience.
Marked down a little on value as I personally find the cost high, although I have to date continued to use the Salon. So must be good.
