It’s always a pleasure to see Matthew and although I’m pretty boring with my hair and say ‘just do the same’ he always suggests ‘something’ that makes a bit of a difference. I came in feeling a bit stressed and left feeling relaxed and happy. The girl that washed my hair was lovely too x

A total transformation today-thankyou Ruby & Chloe for your expert advice. I went in with a vague picture and hair that was in poor condition and came out with an on trend autumnal colour and cut. I would also like to say excellent warm reception manner but I did miss the hairdresser with the exceptionally wide feet I think her name begins with a L ?? She is super chatty

Thanks again for the masterclass LJ service

Today was the fist time I have visited this salon. I wanted a change from my usual cut, so chose somewhere I could trust to carry out the new style. Very pleased with the result. Emma is very knowledgeable and took time to discuss my hair type and what would work and discussed future options. Friendly staff.

Really pleased with my haircut & restyle....fab! Stacey did an amazing job! I gave her a tough brief, badly cut short bob ( I had oreviously cut myself!) & asked for a younger layered look. She listened carefully & looked at some haircuts online I showed her the look I was hoping to achieve & she got it spot on. Im really impressed with her skill set & will be calling back every 6-8 weeks to Stacey to keep my style in shape. I would definately reccomend Stacey @ Lara Johnson.
