I was unsure what to have done with my out of control bob but Olivia talked through my options and helped me decide which way to go. She checked in with me throughout the cut making sure I was happy with the way it was going and then I totally loved the result!

Very informal and friendly but very knowledgeable and informative. Discussed options for my hair type. Was honest about what would work and what wouldn’t. Found him easy to talk to. Discussed colour too and he included Olivia in the conversation who was very helpful and friendly too. Great knowledge and advice given. Remembered me from earlier visits to salon some time ago which also put me at ease. Have booked for March following their advice and feel it will be a pleasurable experience without the anxiety of wondering how it will turn out as has been the case in other salons I have attended.
Was not charged for consultation which was a pleasant surprise and increased my confidence in the salons integrity. However from past visits years ago I feel the value is good and I am looking forward to the result.

I really like Rhys. He is a lovely chap but I am a bit disappointed with my hair cut. I showed him a photo of what I thought I'd like my hair. Unfortunately the cut though nice is not really what I asked for. Perhaps I didn't explain sufficiently. I did feel that he wasn't terribly confident while doing it. I think a spider landing on him didn't help.

My first time at the salon with Rhys as my stylist. What a great hairdresser and lovely person. I showed him some photos of what I wanted, wanted to lose some length and tone down my blonde. No problem! Rhys suggested I try a centre parting for a change - he was right, very flattering for me. He also did my wedding hair at short notice the following week - also beautiful. Great experience all round!
