As I sat in the chair today for a quick trim and lash treatments my memory went back 19 years ago when I first entered the front door of SANDS! A saloon that was recommended by my cousin……….. There started my journey with Sheila who was cutting my hair for the first time in preparation for my 21st Birthday party! Fast forward to the start of my 40th celebrations I am looked after by the most amazing, beautiful, patient, brilliant and talented Beni K!

I have the best hair, the best lashes, the perfect eye brows and am ready to party! My sincere thanks to everyone at SANDS for one of the best birthday cards and kind gifts!!!! ❤️❤️

Keep being you SANDS as well as the brilliant and amazing talent that occupies this envelope of Waterloo gardens

From my consultation through to my appointment I have experienced nothing but a totally professional, friendly service!
My over treated , broken hair has been transformed into a silky, shiny healthy style., which was discussed with me from start to finish.
Ceri was nothing but honest from the start with regards to how I need to nourish and maintain my hair to get back to what I was used to!
I would recommend Sands and Ceri for not just a cut/colour and expert experience but also a tranquil salon where you are throughly spoilt. Head massage was divine!

I have been using Sands for many years and Phil has been my stylist for most of that time. The salon is bright and friendly and they cope and have coped well with Covid precautions. I can always rely on Phil to listen carefully to what I want (quite variable!) and helps me to experiment- always with a good view of what will suit me and my lifestyle in mind.

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.
