I don’t manage to get to the hairdressers as often as I would like but I love my experience with you.
Mel just knows that my hair wash is when I try to unwind and I’ve never actually said that to her.
She doesn’t talk to me snd I find it so relaxing.
She’s also a dream to chat to while cutting my hair and always the same happy nature.
I don’t care what she does to my hair as I like it short and long so never mind any changes no matter how drastic.
She’s great to advise very subtly that if I suggest a drastic change that “maybe we could do this…”
I always listen to her advice.
I love having my hair done Mel!
She’s so lush!! ?

Cheerful greeting on arrival. Fully discussed my requirements for styling and colouring my hair. As I wanted a longer style Dan suggested he did not cut my hair but would just trim the shorter bits at the front of my face. He did not charge me for the cut. A week on i can confirm I am very pleased with the result.

I’ve been visiting Lara’s since the end of the first Lockdown. I would not dream of going anywhere else.
Matthew is my stylist and I am obviously happy with the advice he gives me and the finished result.
My friends have love the way my hair looks that they are now visiting Matthew.
My hair is very fine and thin so not an easy job
May I add, my husband is so impressed he now plans on having his hair cut with Matthew. I’m jealous as he has thick hair - it’s not fair!

Each time I've been to the salon I've enjoyed it.
