Was such a lovely time chatting with Millie and I loved the atmosphere at the salon. It felt so friendly and fun with all of the lovely people in such a colourful and inviting space. I actually really liked not having a mirror in front of me too and I am beyond pleased with my haircut! Would definitely recommend!

I have never had an experience quite like it. This salon has the most warm and inviting atmosphere and the staff are all genuinely lovely. The idea for the table in the middle is genius because I’m a talker so being able to chat to the other customers made it that much better. I was being brought tea on tap and and just felt pampered the whole time. Although it was expensive I can definitely say you 100% get what you pay for and then some.
The colour I was given was incredible and I came away feeling like a million pounds. I can see why their WiFi password is hair wizards. Thank you so much guys I will be back! Xx

I always feel at ease at the salon…they chat to me when I’m not working and leave me be when I am. They just instinctively know how to adjust the mood to suit yours…and yet it’s a little bit kooky…but that’s the magic…it just works…and then the hair? Well that’s always fabulous. Without a doubt the best salon in Swansea ⭐️

Well, after a lot of research, I chose to come to Gemma for my first ever curly cut, and am so delighted that I did! She is a font of curly knowledge and exactly what this fifty-four year old woman - who has only had curly hair since I embraced my natural greys last year - needed. Her experience with hair is evident, her explanations thorough (and so much more understandable than any curly girl on social media), and she spent a lot of time with me, discussing my current haircare regime - as well as giving tips on what I can do to make my curls more manageable and luxuriant. She was brilliant!

And, as well as all that, the salon itself was the most friendly and least intimidating I've ever been to - and I've been to a lot! Loved that us customers sat around a giant wooden table, with mugs of coffee, and not a mirror in sight (a bonus when you've a body whose contours are similar to a cottage loaf!), as the genial stylists worked on making us look - and more importantly feel - fabulous. We chatted, laughed, and it was genuinely the most enjoyable, and relaxed, experience that I've ever had in a hairdressers.

This was a five star experience on all counts. And I'm really looking forward to my second appointment next week when Gemma will be doing part 2 of her curly process - the curl-by-curl cut. Simply epic! 👏👏👏

I always get great service and but I was blown away listening to how the team engaged with a customer who was really struggling with her appearance and self esteem. It's always possible to sit in front of a mirror but their default is the no mirror haircut. Perfect for those of us who struggle to look in the mirror when having a haircut (or any other time!).

I’ve been going to its science for the last twelve months every two months. I usually have the same thing done each time. But today I asked for a change and Millie didn’t disappoint. She gave great advice on what my options for colour and change of hairstyle would best suit my age/face shape etc. I am really delighted with the result and love the new colour and style. Thanks a million xxx

After a few years of unsuccessful salon trips, I decided to try It’s Science for their ‘curly cuts’ treatment. Gemma was amazing, very knowledgeable and explained everything with love and care without a hint of patronising. She made sure to understand my hair history, how I do my hair now, and to work with me to get a healthy curl back. The cut she has done for my hair has already made me so happy, and I cannot wait to go back for my follow up appointment.

The facilities were really nice and the other staff there really lovely to talk to. Communal feel, chatting to other clients, which I’ve never experienced before. Absolutely stunning experience!

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.
