I came to the salon today for the first ever time, I was incredibly nervous but the atmosphere was brilliant. Gemma was a star, she knew exactly what I wanted and did SUCH a beautiful job on my new haircut !

Everyone is so bubbly and welcoming and it was well worth the time and money.

Cannot wait to book back in for a colour after my patch test !

My stylist was Emma but I couldn’t find her name under the drop down.
I think Emma is extremely talented. There is no style I’ve asked for so far that she hasn’t achieved for me.
It’s Science for me is the place to go for quality. My hair doesn’t just look better when I leave, it feels better. The hair mask they offer is the best I’ve ever had. It’s pure magic!
It’s also wonderful not having to sit awkwardly in front of a mirror during the appointment. That’s a really unique and beneficial idea.
Thank you Emma for never rushing my hair. Even when you’re busy, you take your time.

I can’t recommend enough!

Gemma was amazing from the moment I walked into the salon. So welcoming and accommodating… I desperately wanted a new look after a negative experience at a previous salon. Gemma addressed my concerns and doubts, reassuring me throughout the whole process. I went from hating my hair to falling back in love, with the added bonus that I could get my hair coloured at a later date. Thank you Gemma!!

I am so pleased with the result it looks and feels amazing. I’d highly recommended Millie she’s professional and caring and a top class hairdresser. Just to add, the salon itself is wonderful it’s always such a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Without doubt the best hairdressers I’ve ever been to. Thank you!

The BEST salon I have EVER been to

Rhiannon Davies
30th Aug 2025
5.0

After experiencing hair loss due to illness—and admittedly not treating my hair well in the past (bleaching and neglecting it)—I now pour extra care into looking after it. Because of that, I’ve visited countless salons but none have stood out to me as much as It’s Science.

Honestly, I can’t believe a place like this exists in Swansea—it feels like the kind of polished, high-level salon you’d expect to find in London. Everything about it is faultless. The online booking system is straightforward, the flexible opening hours make it easy to find the perfect slot, and every member of staff radiates passion, warmth, and incredible talent.

Gemma is a force of nature—zesty, stylish, and brimming with passion. You can’t help but be in awe of what she’s created here. More than anything, I’m just grateful for it. The treatments are outstanding—the hair mask in particular is the best I’ve ever tried. I don’t know what magic is in it, but it transforms my hair’s manageability every single time. Beyond that, it’s become a moment of calm for me; I’m naturally quite highly strung, but this treatment relaxes me like nothing else.

I usually see Emma, whose gentle yet strong personality immediately puts me at ease. She makes me feel safe, listened to, and completely confident in her hands. I absolutely love the way she does my hair—I trust her completely.

I can’t recommend It’s Science enough. What a gem of a find!

To be honest, I’m disappointed. Now I’m home, the cut doesn’t sit well - it’s much shorter at the front than I wanted … and there’s nothing anyone can do until it grows out

I’ve been going to It’s Science for a while now and I love it there. The no mirrors is such a game changer. I think pretty much everyone in that salon has touched my hair (who work there!) but Millie is my gal. Everyone is friendly, puts up with my weird conversations and just happy to go with the flow. Never been disappointed with my hair leaving that salon.

Had such a great experience getting my hair done! After a year of barely touching it (thanks to having a baby), I was ready for a big change. Gemma and the team absolutely nailed it, took me from drab to platinum blonde in just three hours, which is definitely something to shout about! I honestly didn’t think I’d get as light as I wanted but they pulled it off effortlessly. The cut, colour and blow dry were all perfect. Everyone was so lovely and the whole vibe was super relaxed. Definitely found my new go to spot for hair!

Gemma was absolutely fantastic—she didn’t judge me at all for cutting and dyeing my own hair, and instead, she worked her magic to make it look incredible. Every single stylist there was so welcoming and encouraging, and for the first time in a long time, I left feeling truly confident. My hair looks amazing, and the experience gave me the boost I really needed. I can’t thank the ladies at It’s Science enough! Happy 6th Birthday!!
