My first visit to Sands was great! I hadn't had my hair cut in about a year, so was a little anxious. Ellisha was my hairdresser and she did a fantastic job, I felt confident that she knew exactly what she was doing. I'll definitely be going back. The complimentary head and hand massages were a fab addition to the cut!

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.

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 :)
