So, I’m usually super lazy and don’t write a review…because the service I get at Lara’s is ALWAYS the best and I assumed everyone knows that! However, it’s important such a fabulous salon with such fabulous staff are recognised. I love the hair colour and cut Stacey always provides. Today she gave me excellent advice and listened to my concerns in a thoughtful and sympathetic way. We have a plan !

As always, the entire visit was thoroughly enjoyable. My regular stylist, Emma P, was attentive throughout and performed her usual vigorous session at the backwash which featured shampoo, conditioner and a mysterious serum.

My only (tiny) gripes are ax follows:

a. The hot chocolate isn’t as tasty as the one provided by the old machine.

b. Emma still politely refuses to commit to home visits 24/7.
