Dan is an incredible hairdresser, an absolute perfectionist. He is knowledgeable, experienced and attentive to detail. Definitely the best hairdresser I’ve used. All the staff are lovely and friendly and it’s always a really enjoyable experience. Would 100% recommend.

Not what I asked for

The lady who cut my hair was really lovely, however unfortunately the way she styled it let the whole experience down. I asked for a 90’s long bob and I definitely didn’t receive this. I asked for face shaping and fringey bits to frame my face, however the woman who cut my hair said it was too damaged for this (which is crazy as I have had this style before and my hair was in the same condition). Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

I’ve been coming to Chloe since the summer and I am in awe every time she does my hair. The colour and cut is always perfect and exceeds my expectations each time. Today we went for a change and decided to cut in some wispy bangs above the eyebrow, and some lowlights to the colour. Safe to say, I am absolutely obsessed!
