I had an excellent hair wash by a young lady today, it rarely happens so I thought it was worth a mention. I had a colour and a cut with Benni who is a terrific hairdresser who is kind and caring and genuinely cares about her customers.

Fabulous hairdresser????

Just had my haircut by Birdie and she has done a fantastic job,
I have short hair but it is very thick and always needs chopping into a lot which not a lot of hairdressers that I have been to before do enough,
I asked for nothing to be taken off the length just the thickness of it and that’s exactly what Birdie did,
I love it!!!!
Best haircut I’ve had for a long time,
So happy that I’ve found a fabulous hairdresser(which can be hard work)
Looking forward to my next cut ❣️❣️

It’s always a lovely relaxed atmosphere at Sands and staff cannot do enough for you. Jenny is really talented and gives good advice and always makes me feel at ease. I have found it hard in the past to find someone to do a good blonde but Jenny always gets it right and the Aveda products don’t seem to be as damaging on my hair. Thank you Jenny xxx
