I love this place! Went for a haircut today not realising they were specialists in curly hair - what a bonus! I had a warm welcome, Gemma was great listening to what I was thinking with my hair that hasn’t had a cut since before lockdown! Her advice was spot on and I walked away feeling great - had the curl treatment & a cut which has left my locks super soft and bouncy and I’m very much looking forward to my next appt. Gemma cuts curly hair in two stages - first is treatment & cut and second to go back and have another treatment and any adjustments need according to how your curls are behaving! Genius!

The salon is super funky & trendy but with down to earth folk who make you feel welcome and at ease! I left feeling a million dollars and all at a very reasonable price! Finally I have found a hairdresser who understands my hair and gets me!

Would highly recommend this salon especially for curly locks.

Gemma nails the brief every time; my hair is in the best condition it's been in and I've had so many compliments about the style and colour.

Third visit back to this lovely salon, the team are always so welcoming. Was very undecided on what to do with my hair colour to cover my grey roots. Gemma went through lots of options and I trusted her expertise and left it too her. I am so pleased with the final colour as she said I would be. I have curly hair so Emma then defined my curls when drying. I absolutely loved my cut and my curls looked amazing. Looking forward to my next visit.

Honestly any of my curly girls out there go and get a curly cut here. I was so nervous about having my hair done as I had not had my hair cut in 2years and everyone was so re assuring and made me feel like I was in safe hands. I get so at ease after and didn't even ask for a mirror to watch my cut as I knew it was going to be amazing. They took the time to individually coil my hair and the end result literally made me cry. I have never liked a hair cut before and I am absolutely obsessed with my hair now. Thankyou so much to Gemma and the girls, you actually have no idea how much you've helped me.

I have decided to do the two part curly hair treatment and cut with Gemma. I loved my time at Its Science. Not only are you greeted so warmly by all staff, you are also given a full breakdown on your hair and what it needs - parallel to what service you came in for. Its Science prides itself on being ecologically conscious. From the moment I walked through the door I was offered dairy free milk options for my tea, the products they used in my hair were environmentally friendly and offer vegan alternatives, even the towels are biodegradable. The salon is also aware of its clientele by respecting different cultures in the surrounding area. And to top it all off my new hair looks great! I can’t wait to come back in three weeks for part two of my curly hair journey!

Both Shanelle and Gemma were fab - friendly, enthusiastic and interested in what I wanted for my hair. I’ve honestly never had such a fun, chilled and enjoyable time at a hairdressers. In fact it’s more than a hairdressers, it’s an experience. Totally put a spring in my step for the day ahead and left with hair that I can’t stop touching or looking at! These people are one in a million. Don’t delay - book today!

What can I say about this Salon. The no mirrors/ vegan element and the aesthetics/feel of the salon definitely ticks a few boxes. But it is the people who work here and the energy and atmosphere that keep me coming back. Its just a lovely few hours, chatting (or not, depending on your preference). The time goes in no time.
Gemma and colleagues are so passionate about hair, and it shows in the results. The first time I had my hair cut with Gemma, I said it made me feel like myself again, and that was before my new amazing colour. Thank you!
