I am prone to changing my mind about my hair and doing things last minute- this means I don’t always get the same stylist. The staff at Sands show understanding in this regard and are always professional. I have had my haircut by several stylists, all of wi I’ve been very happy with.

I have been going to Sands since it opened and have nothing but praise for everyone there. Excellent cut every single time and the highlights that I have so had for years are done with I credible skill and professionalism. Get lots of compliments from people on both the colour and the cut. Can highly recommend Sands and their incredibly friendly and talented staff.

Was greeted as soon as I entered the salon. A refreshing drink poured. Back, neck, head,shoulder,arm and hand massage.
Attentive staff doing a superb job. Carol transformed my hair into just how I wanted. I strongly recommend this salon it’s like a pamper session than the old mundane salons normally provide. Thank you for excellent service

I am honestly so impressed with sands hairdressing, I'll definitely be going back. It was my first time trying them and breaking away from my regular hairdresser back home and I am so pleased I did. They were also accomodating to this change which I really appreciate! I was treated so nicely and looked after the minute I walked through the door. I had a gorgeous head massage and the lovely girl washing my hair took such care, it really made me feel good about myself! Debbie listened to what I wanted and did a superb cut. She was meticulous, gentle and really respected my hair. It really makes a difference when your hairdresser cares for your hair and what you want, and I felt like Debbie did that for me so thank you so much. Couldn't recommend this place enough :)
