Honestly the best salon!! I converted to its science around 9 months ago and never looking back the nicest group of gals in such a beautiful place. I trust Gemma and the no mirror cut and colour implicitly. I feel like a million pound every time I walk out the door

It’s Science provides a wonderful, friendly, inclusive environment. Meg has never felt comfortable going to the hairdressers or been able to find a style that they like. Gemma was extremely patient and professional and the end result was fantastic! I can’t recommend them enough!

Every time I get my hair done at it’s science they surpass all expectations. They always meet my needs in every way, and listen to what I want and give me exactly that. I’m not exaggerating when I say they’re the best salon I’ve ever been to, and definitely the best in Swansea. All of the stylists are very creative, but they won’t do anything with your hair that you don’t want.
Not to mention the environment is lovely. The decor is SO nice, the products are vegan, and there’s a really lively atmosphere.
I’ve been going to them for 2 years, and can’t thank them enough for always giving me amazing hair.

Right from the start the team was very kind and informative. I went in without a clue as to what I wanted and they helped immensely with making up my mind.
Everyone's friendly and knowledgeable, they'll cater to your needs. It's like a tailor-made experience just for you. I'll definitely be going back soon.

What an amazing experience! My hair looks fantastic and so healthy and nothing was too much for the girls. Lovely afternoon of tea and chats with some amazing hair at the end of it!

It was my second visit to the salon where Grace did my hair, and I don’t ever want to go anywhere else! All the girls in the salon are so welcoming, friendly & seem to really know what they are talking about. I always like to switch my hair up, and their enthusiastic and passionate approach to hair is just what I am looking for! They sit down & chat about what you want to achieve, which is something that is so important. Overall its a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone!
