I’m very disappointed with the result, the colour has change since the first wash, I asked not to be light colour and in the first wash the front of my hair became blonde. I also asked for having layers because my long hair was too flat and realised the hairdresser just trimmed the ends so my hair is still the same just a bit shorter. Also I asked for having the ends lighter than the top and she did completely the opposite.

Alex has been doing my hair for a few years now and she’s one of the only people that I trust with the job. She always knows exactly what top ups/changes I need and I feel completely comfortable letting her do what she does best. I usually get a balayage and cut from her and always leave obsessed with my hair. She is the queen of colouring, not to mention I feel like I’ve had a therapy session every time I see her!! She is incredibly lovely and so fab at all things hair!

Although I do love my hair, I never really complain but I had to wait over an hour to be seen which really ruined my day. I know it’s not anyone’s fault but maybe it could’ve been acknowledged and compensated in some way as I had to wake up very early to get to a 9am only to be seen at 10:15

Hi Sarah, Thank you for the feedback. I'm so sorry you were waiting so long, as you know Abbie was grid locked that day on her way to work. Apparently there was a bad accident.
I'd really like to offer you a complimentary Botanical Repair Treatment next time your in. I'll pop this on your profile. Sincere apologies you left the salon not as happy as you could of been.

I have a great relationship with Alex and she knows I'm happy to push boundaries and have fun with colours. Her thermal imaging colour scheme was awesome and presented me with the perfect opportunity to try out a buzz cut. Cutting off my faux hawk and embracing a totally new style was exhilarating- similar to how I felt in May 2017 when we cut my mid back length hair into the faux hawk.

I had a fantastic experience sitting in Alex’s chair and having her do my hair! I have had a balayage fairly recently at another salon and I wasn’t happy with the colour I was left with, Alex was being a very attentive listener, understood what I want it & what would work best for me. Following my services with a cute blow dry, I was finally able to walk out the salon being very happy and confident about my new colour and haircut. For both services I have to say that Alex did such a great job and all over she made the experience of going to the salon such a pleasant one, it felt like a real luxury having a complementary mini massage before and during shampooing, and feeling like the hair stylist is taking their time with the appointment. Definitely a stylist and salon I’m recommending, all in all a very nice atmosphere with lovely people working there!
