I had such an amazing experience at Carter & Shield. They knew exactly what to do with my curly hair and they gave me so many tips and could recommend some fab products too. I was very impressed with how they dealt with my hair as I normally struggle to find a good hairdressers that can make the most out of my curly hair.

Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and talked through what I wanted and made suggestions on what would work best.

Another stunning cut and colour from Jenny!

In just a few hours she transformed my grown-out brown mop of a lockdown ‘do into a beautiful warm-toned balayage of rich brown melting into copper. Cannot stop swishing my hair in mirrors, completely thrilled with the results! Thanks Jenny and team for once again taking such excellent care of me and my hair.

Absolutely love my new hair thanks to Rhianna!! Hair was a mess with lockdown and unhappy with a cut I had at another salon but Rihanna sorted it all out for me and was able to make my hair look amazing. Went from very long hair (lower back length to above shoulder) was nervous but trust this salon to do a great cut and finish. Already had so many compliments on it. Lovely salon overall all staff friendly and reasonable prices. Thanks

Today was my first time at Carter and Shields and had been recommended to go as both my daughters come here. My daughter treated me as I had spent just over 2 months in hospital beating Covid. I have to say the team are amazing, they discussed options for my hair, checked that I was ok and were very professional. I was treated with kindness and respect, the young lady who did my hair was in training and she was brilliant, she washed my hair, toned my hair and styled my hair ever so gently. I was talked through each step of the process and I am absolutely delighted with the outcome. Thank you all for taking such good care of me, I shall see you in a few weeks!

I did my first ever balayage/colour with Rhianna after not colouring my hair for nearly 3 years, I was so nervous because of the colour damage I’ve put my hair through overtime but WOW! I could not have been happier with the results, to say I just had my hair bleached it felt in perfect condition which I did not expect and it looked absolutely amazing. So thank you so much Rihanna, you’re an absolute miracle worker!

The salon and staff is amazing, I have been asked to pay 50% of the full balance on my consultation which is fine but in the end instead of paying remaining 50% I have been asked to pay £164.20 - 50% deposit was £75 so it made no sense

Thank you for your review. Our salon policy, when booking an appointment, is to take a 50% pre payment for the service you book in for. Any additional services added to that booking at the time of your appointment are chargeable as outlined in our terms and conditions. I believe you where booked in for a full head of highlights and a cut and finish. The service you received was a colour correction and cut and finish with the addition of a treatment and homecare shampoo and conditioner. Had you had just had the service originally intended it would of been 50% pre payment of the total bill, However if this was miscommunicated in any way please except our apologies and we look forward to seeing you again soon x
