I had been looking for a full Aveda salon for a while - one which fully adheres to the Aveda ethos and high standards. Not only does Sands do this but the friendliness and welcome I received made it a pure joy. Kay understood completely my issues and problems then cut and dried my hair perfectly - even my non observant husband noticed. I had comments from friends and acquaintances saying how good I looked, my hair was exactly as I had hoped and more. I came away so happy and confident, which is what you want .

Lovely Salon and staff really attentive and friendly. I had booked for a restyle which involved having my hair cut a lot shorter and I was very nervous but my hairdresser Kay really inspired confidence and was quick and efficient without making me feel rushed.
Really enjoyed my head massage and shampoo also.
Thrilled with my new look and have recieved a lot of compliments already. I
Will definitely be going regularly

Stuart and the rest of the staff were fantastic. Fast confident cut with great bonhommie and friendliness in a relaxed busy salon. Considering my curly ageing grey flyaway hair, he made a great job out of the birds nest he was present with. Will be returning again and again for future cuts. Even us men deserve a nice bit of pampering from time to time :)

My first experience at this salon was 50/50, i went in for a cut and finish, which lasted about 35 minutes.

All were polite and welcoming, drinks offered but the hair service was rushed and unclean.

Kaye wasn’t fully prepared for our booking despite it being quiet, she had to run around for various equipment, and even used an unclean comb after pulling someone else’s hair out of it.

The overhaul finish of my hair was ruched, it required straightening.
