Very good cut, style and blow dry. I’m afraid the stylist didn’t give me her name, which is sad because I would love to acknowledge her skill! And an excellent head massage.

Both Lynsey and Emma were absolutely amazing! I have long hair and usually dread haircuts, but they both made the experience a dream. The color and cut turned out gorgeous—beyond my expectations. I truly hope Santa brings them both something special this year! ❤️

As usual my hair was cut perfectly. In addition this salon has strength in depth in its stylists. Whilst I tend to favour the same one I know there are at least another two who can do a quality job if my preferred time is not available. I always come away feeling I’m genuinely appreciated as a valued customer

Had my son’s hair cut this morning. I wasn’t really impressed by Chloe this morning. Loads of different long bits & could have been blended better. I took Kaiden to another barber after this to sort the problem as I already mentioned to chole.but didn’t seam to sort it . Plus I was £34.50 for 1 gift for myself which on the box says hair care essentials repair rrp £19.50 so why have I been charged by chole £34.50.

I’m happy enough with the haircut I left with; no problems there. Staff were all pleasant. Made 11.30 booking as there was availability on the website. I got a phone call just before 11am to say my chosen stylist was delayed and could I make it at 1.45 instead. Not ideal but I agreed as I really needed my hair cut. This doesn’t come across as very professional. Couldn’t the website have been updated to reflect the stylist’s availability? Things were quite slow to progress once I was in. 45 mins into my appointment and I was still sitting there with wet hair after having waited so long for the appointment. Overall, I felt like my time wasn’t important to them. I will think twice before returning because of this.
