I usually range through all the brightest colours I can find but where I’ve been through most of them I left the colour up to Rihanna. We discussed what was possible to do on what I already had so my hair stayed in a good condition because it was previously bleached.
I couldn’t be happier with what we finished with. It feels soft, it’s shiny and the colours came out so nicely. I’ve given her full control and choice over my next colour when I come in again

There aren't enough words to describe what an amazing service I have had from Jenny, Beth and Rhianna in preparation for my wedding. Rhianna has been looking after my hair for a long time now and has been amazing throughout all this time. Then, for the wedding I have had the pleasure of having my hair done up by Jenny and my makeup done by Beth. Their work was excellent to very last detail and this made my wedding day even more memorable ❤ ? Thank you ladies for your exceptional work

I am not one to leave a negative review but I went for a half balayage and regrowth and ended up blonde (my first balayage was done nicely - this would have been a top-up). I was simply told to wait a little and get used to it - and next time, come back for some darker highlights to correct the blonde (on my own cost, of course). I stressed the fact I did not like that it came out as blonde and I was told: this is what happens when you have a follow up after an initial balayage, you simply can’t have the clean balayage. I wish I would have been told this before and not guaranteed a different service, or I would have looked for a different hairdresser. Utterly disappointed for something that costed quite a lot. For £216 I was expecting better. I will need to pay more to cover the mistake.

Came to Carter and shields after hearing through my friend that they do beauty works hair extensions. After having been to other salons and just getting an okay standard of hair extensions, I had a consultation with bethany and she recommended the beauty works ultimate package. I have never been so happy with my hair! She gave me a very in depth consultation, my colour match is perfect and she explained how the package subscription works.

Honestly, I usually don’t like having my hair done, sitting for hours on end is always hard for me and I find my self clock watching but not any more... I didn’t look once!
I just had the best time with Bethany! Such a warm welcome, worked together to hatch a plan on how to tackle my tired looking hair and am over the moon with the results. Hair looks fab, I felt well looked after and pampered throughout and enjoyed the Prosecco to get me in the Christmas spirit! Shout out to Isobel also who gave the best head massage!

All the girls were so friendly, and I can’t wait to come back in the new year!

The end result is the most beautiful colour I’ve ever experienced. Her kindness and patience throughout for a big correction was overwhelming. I have found my forever hairdresser.
