Fab salon, made to feel welcome as soon as I stepped through the door! Thoroughly enjoyed the aesthetic of the salon, particularly the lack of mirrors, what a breath of fresh air! Not to mention the super friendly staff. Had lots of giggles and it’s science feels like the perfect excuse to get a blow dry more often!

I don’t think any amount of words can do this review justice.. from the moment you walk in it’s relaxed, non judgemental and feels your surrounding by family. The team are so knowledgeable and provide valuable advice. Their aim is to ensure you leave with awesome hair, standing a little taller! Everything about the experience is just amazing. My third time and I can’t wait to go back.. although shame is I probably won’t need to for a few months thanks to my amazing hair! Keep being the hair wizards you are! Xx

I really enjoyed my hair cut/style with Ryan today. I can be a little shy of new people and he made me feel very at ease. The hair cut is lovely and I was pleased with the results. It was nice to have the option not to be looking in a mirror the whole time. Really lovely.

After taking the plunge and chaging salons (I was with my previous salon 15 years), I am absolutely thrilled with my colour and cut! I needed lots of advice as having stayed with the same colour for many years was anxious to change. I was given loads of support and advice. They were so patient! Would highly recommend a visit to this trendy, different, forward thinking salon!!

Its Science is unique in a number of ways, all of them good! From the frankly inspired no mirrors, open table concept to the incredible colours and cuts with sustainability and brilliant results at the heart of everything they do.
Its Science is the first place I have ever trusted to bleach or colour my hair and I could not be happier with it, or with the experience.
Gemma has created something really special. Can't wait to see what her and her awesome team (family) do next!

Always go above and beyond!!!!! having been through a drastic colour change (most salons would have said no to)with Gemma I would no longer trust anyone else with my hair!!!!

brought a new outlook on salon life to Swansea and set standards! Just the burst of colour and enthusiasm Swansea needed

Well done Gemma, you’ve done a fantastic job! ❤️

I had a complete colour change and I couldn't be happier with my new colour and a Fringe. The salon has a very welcoming & chilled vibe and you have the choice of sitting without a mirror in front of you. I was there for a few hours, the chair's are very comfortable, there was room for me to get my laptop out allowing me to catch up on a little bit of work and I was offered refreshments through out the duration. Between Deonne and Gemma, they had some great ideas, can't wait to go back.

Very very happy with the final outcome of my hair done by Ryan. The other Stylists were also very friendly and welcoming. It's science is the place to be!

3rd time at this salon, and absolutely will be going back. The atmosphere is really friendly and you can tell that the staff like working there, sitting round the table instead of having to stare at yourself for hours is great and makes the whole process feel really social and fun.
I went with a really bold change in colour (Bright pink!) and was given great advice and told about which colours would fade and how to maintain it all.
Also I really appreciate the opening hours, being able to fit it in after work instead of taking up hours of my weekend is fantastic

As soon as I walked into the salon you had a warm welcome which is extremely reassuring when it is your first visit. I am really fussy with my hair and I was a little apprehensive, but they put me at ease straight away. I did notice there were no mirrors and the layout wasn't a stereotypical hair salon however it enhanced the customer experience. Deonne was extremely professional and knowledgable and I felt my hair was in safe hands. I would highly recommend Its Science and they also cater for full time workers with their late night opening hours.
