I hadn’t had a haircut for years as I don’t really enjoy having it done but I found my experience at Quintessential to be very good. Claire was lovely, very patient and explained what was needed clearly so I trusted that she was listening to me and understanding what I wanted.

I moved into the area earlier this year and have struggled to find a decent hairdresser. Helen and her team at Quintessential have solved my problem and I am so relieved. Helen did some highlights for me which look great and the cut she did is just what I wanted - my hair now looks like it has been professionally treated and I am so pleased and relieved to have found Quintessential. I have already arranged my next appointment and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and her team.
