My Daughters first haircut and I was very impressed... everybody was very friendly and made my daughter feel at ease straight away... in fact things went very smoothly which is its own triumph with a 3 year old who doesn't particularly enjoy having her hair washed.... And of course her hair looked fantastic..... Thank you and we will definitely see you for her next cut...

I've been to Sands a few times and had my hair done by various stylists. Everyone is lovely and I'm always happy with the results.

Most recently I had a cut and blow dry with Beni, who was fantastic. The covid measures Sands have in place made me feel safe and secure and there were very few people in the salon.

I definitely recommend!
