From the moment I walked in all the staff were friendly and I was offered a cuppa and a magazine. Today I had my balayage and hair cut and treatment and toner. Lindsey was very professional and had amazing knowledge about what to do with my hair to keep the length and my hair in best condition possible. Her great knowledge on hair care products led to me buying 4 of the olaplex products so I can keep my hair in its best condition in between salon visits. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at academy claygate and I’m already booked in to go again!

I went this morning to a pre-booked appointment which I had already changed from 6 weeks to 8 weeks after my previous one. My hair really only needed a fringe trimming so rather than cut off more for the sake of it, we agreed to postpone for another few weeks. This demonstrates the true meaning of providing a service! Thanks Leanne, I shall certainly be back!
