Who’d choose the hottest day of the year for a trip to the hairdressers? Well, despite the searing heat outside and the still regulation face masks, the lovely Ceri coloured and cut my locks wonderfully! Diolch !

My stylist was Stuart today, and I can honestly say this was one of the best hair dye's I have had in a long time. Explained why he couldn't do what I had asked, very knowledgeable, and the end result is probably better than what I had wanted to start with. He took my opinions on board and I would definitely recommend him and the salon for anyone looking to get a hair treatment in which they are listened to.

Normally see Yasmin who does a beautiful balayage and cut. She is so friendly and professional and has some amazing skills. Wanted a last minute cut this week so saw Debbie for a trim - such a lovely person, so professional and did a gorgeous cut. Always love visiting here. Feel so calm afterwards. And obviously it smells divine in the salon too!

The first appointment of the day with Stuart. Had no misgivings regarding Covid as salon airy, not too many people milling around, the appropriate steps have been taken to test I am well, cubicles safe and staff all masked and visored. I would have no problems or misgivings returning. I never give 5 stars for all categories as there would be nothing to aim for if I did. Ps I miss the cuppa and realise that service is a victim of Covid.

I had my hair washed, cut, and styled by Debbie and assistant. I am so pleased with the results. My daddy says I look just like Grace Kelly :) I liked having my hair washed by a professional.

Everyone wore masks and visors and I felt very safe. The girls were very kind and friendly.

I’m looking to the next time when I’ll be 7.
