Loved my haircut; hadn't a clue what I wanted when I walked in and Sammy helped me decide by kindly guiding me through styles etc. Massage chairs whilst having your hair washed are a bonus! Will definitely be going back!

Christine does a superb job in managing the team and service they offer from the moment you arrive to the time you leave - very attentive and relaxed and lovely high quality products used for your treatment. As a stylist, Christine is an excellent listener - not something all hairdressers are good at when describing what you want in a cut or style on that particular day! - she's never rushing and always makes time to ensure you feel welcomed and relaxed as well as happy at the end of your treatment. Highly recommend ! LP

Another month and another fab hair appointment with Coral. I'm always pretty easy going when it comes to my hair but that's not hard when I have Coral doing it. I always go by her suggestions and she has never been wrong once. I loved the curl she put into it with my colour this time and I look forward to next time.

I love everything about this salon and am greatful that it is my local. I love the massage chairs the most - it's lovely to have time out in a really nicely designed salon - everything feels luxurirouis and is decorated to a high standard. I always enjoy my cup of tea during my appointment there.

My stylist Coral has been professional from our first
meeting and has proven to be wonderful as I keep going back to her for her fantastic blow drys and great customer service. I have been to her several times for styling and liked her so much that I then booked in for a cut; the cut she gave me was just what I wanted and I'm really very happy with it. I also love the prices and offers that available. Finally, for a busy mum like me, it's great to have reminders of appointments sent to me the day before. Thank you Coral and the Claygate Academy salon.

I never leave the salon with any doubt so that's the sign of a good hairdresser!!
