I had a lovely experience at the salon. Friendly warm environment, and the stylist was very helpful with helping me decide what cut and colour I should go for. A mix of age ranges visited the salon while I was there and they cater for everyone!

Had a discussion with Helen and we decided what we were going to do . I wanted a perm which I had never had before and Helen used her time and worked her magic and I now have exactly what I wanted . I am very happy and I feel like I’m a total vibe . Would defiantly recommend Quintesential to any one who asked me !

I had a wonderful experience. Hadn't been to a salon for ages, as my last one closed down, but received a very warm welcome and had a fabulous cut of my tricky ginger / silver hair. I plan to be a regular from now on.

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.
