Abi and Tilly talked me through the whole process, both were so friendly and welcoming. I went from a dark brown to a lovely shade of a warmer lighter brown. Over the moon with the results. Always leave the salon with a smile on my face and shiny hair. What more could you want :)

I've been coming to Lara Johnson Lifestyle for nine years, and can honestly say it's the best salon I've found. The staff were very friendly straight away, making me feel welcome and at home (I must admit I'd never enjoyed going to hair salons before, finding the staff often stand-offish and cold).

All the stylists have been excellent, but I see Alex regularly now. She is superb. Always super-professional, taking a lot of time and trouble over my hair (which is curly, and as such seems to need extra care which has not always been forthcoming in other salons).

Alex is great fun and informative (keeping me up to date with what's on in Swansea and Cardiff's entertainment world!) and chatting to her is always something to look forward to. I'm always made very welcome by her too, and by all the staff.

During the pandemic I was very impressed by the measures taken at this salon to keep everyone safe, so that I felt safe and confident returning there when restrictions were starting to be lifted.

All in all - I wouldn't consider using any other salon. Many thanks!

Matt has taken the time to know my hair and exactly what works colour wise and how I like it cut and styled. First class service and the extra touches of drinks/recent publications/ products is second to none.

Chantelle was so helpful today in advising me on my options on lightening my brunette hair . She suggested balayage for a more sun kissed look . I was worried as I didn’t want obvious blond streaks. The foils were surprisingly quick and I absolutely love the results. Really natural . I would highly recommend Chantelle at Lara Johnson’s. Thanks everyone x

Hi Julie, thank you for taking the time to review your salon experience at Lara Johnson Lifestyle. We are sorry to hear you felt the value was 2 star. Your appointment was with Jenny, who is one of our Creative Directors, and so our highest priced stylist in the salon. For any future visit may we recommend booking in with an alternative stylist, as our cut and blow-dry prices start at £32.00, which will hopefully be another option for you. Thank you for your feedback, it is always appreciated. We hope to see you soon!
