I’ve been coming to see Laura for a few months now. She is great, always have a lovely chat with her. She does my hair exactly how I want it, I always leave happy. Perfect colour and cuts it really nice. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Also the salon is really stylish, the seats at the sinks are really comfortable and all the other girls are really friendly too. I really look forward to my hair appointments.

I always come away feeling good ?. Toni takes time to discuss my hair, how it's been, if I want anything changing (style/colour). I trust her to tell me if she doesn't think something would work for me/my hair. My little luxury, "me" time. Love the head massage when having hair washed/conditioned - only downside is I never want it to end! Thank you ?

Wonderful service. Laura always does a great job and she is very easy to talk to. The salon is always spotless and the trainee stylists are super helpful and polite.

The only downside is not being able to tip when paying with card. Not many people carry cash anymore. Would be great if contemporary would look into this function.

Kirsty is a fantastic new addition to the team! It’s always sad to see fab hairdressers leave, but Kirsty has been my ‘go to’ since and despite being relatively heavily pregnant.. she always takes her time, makes sure I’m ok, gives honest and sound advice and makes my appointment at the salon an absolute pleasure!
