Gemma and the team have been taking care my curls for a few years now, I have not loved a group or salon more than It's Science... So much so, I bring my curly kids. I trust the team implicitly and love them dearly... We would NEVER go anywhere else x

I have never been a repeat customer at a hairdressers and I'm on at least my 5th visit to 'Its Science'. Shanelle always nails my hair goals and gives me a perfect colour that grows out seamlessly.
The salon has a relaxed atmosphere and frequently all the customers and hairdressers have conversations with each across the table. However, if you need to get on with some work I have seen people bring their laptops and busy themselves while their hair processes. Its a lovely space and well worth a visit

I had very high hopes but Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my experience. I didn’t feel comfortable during the appointment and, for £67, I didn’t feel the service or finished result met my expectations. Sadly, I wouldn’t return.

My 10 year old always loves visiting the salon, and this visit was her favourite so far! Even on a busy Saturday, her request for a fairly big chop and style was listened to patiently and Millie even went back in for a second trim after checking in on how the length was feeling. Styling on point as always, and the vibes are always super welcoming. You know it’s a great salon when the other clients are kind enough to hype you up when you’re all finished! She walked out grinning so big, worth every penny for a guaranteed good cut and the experience 🩷

She was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding of my daughter's high levels of anxiety, which made such a difference and helped her feel comfortable throughout the appointment.

New to the area so I’ve been hairdresser hopping looking for the ONE. And I can honestly say I’ve found it with Its Science. Walked in to book my appointment because I wanted to get a feel for the place and talking to the girls knew it was the place for me. I had the lovely Millie deal with my hair that I might add is long thick and a bit unruly , and she was amazing !!! She listened to me and knew exactly what I wanted , she was a delight. I had a cut and colour and absolutely love my hair and what she done with it. The salon has such a lovely feel all the staff are really friendly and the owner is so welcoming she literally makes you feel like family. I absolutely love this place and I’m so glad I found it. Can’t thank the team enough , a beautiful salon with beautiful people. Thanks all ♥️

A friend recommended Emma at 'It's Science'. I was very nervous about having my hair cut in a proper hairdressers for the first time in nearly 22 years, but Emma was brilliant and put me at ease. I had absolutely no idea what I wanted, they talked me through various options and I couldn't be happier with the result! Highly recommend for neurodivergent people or anyone nervous of the whole hairdressing experience.

Gemma did a fantastic job of my hair - I was so happy with the restyle and what was cut was enough to send to the Little Princess Trust to make wigs for children going through hair loss, an extra feelgood factor!
