So pleased with my fresh balayage from Sammy today, she understood exactly what I was looking for even with my terrible brief and absolutely nailed it. Liv helped Sammy and took care of me whilst I was in the salon - they both made my first experience of Ruby’s an absolute delight! Also, such a beautiful, clean, chic salon made the whole experience feel like such a treat! Will definitely be back, thank you girls x

Myself and my daughter are new to the salon and saw Jess today; she was so friendly and capable, giving me advice on what I asked for and I was very happy with what she did (which was exactly what I wanted) but my daughter was gushing about her as soon as we left! ‘ I love Jess, can we go there every time now, I love my hair’ and on and on! So we will definitely be back in the New Year and cannot recommend enough!

Been a client of Niamh’s now for over 5 years, never once have I come away from an appointment disappointed. She is an incredible stylist who always listens to what I want (or what I think I want!) and manages to exceed expectations and deliver each time. She’s an asset to the Ruby Hook team and Jess who also assists in the appointments is always polite and takes care when washing my hair. It never feels rushed.
Always look forward to seeing the new shop theme based on the season and love how much effort the salon makes each time, see you in 3 months!
