Listens to what you want but also gives good advice about the style and if it suits you. Never been disappointed with the cut and Matthew is easy to talk to and puts you at ease.

Not only did Chantelle give me the best hair I've had in years, she guided me through the plan for my hair goals and gave me wonderful tips for having my best hair day. All staff members I met were lovely, they clearly love what they do, which is why they're so good at it!
If you don't trust anyone with your hair, do yourself a favour and go and see Chantelle! Be back soon.

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!

As always an amazing experience at Lara Johnson. Exceptional customer service at every point. Despite an obviously busy afternoon my appointment never felt rushed and the colourist and stylist both listened and gave great advice. So pleased with the cut, colour and finish. Thank you so much.
Unfortunately I do not know the names of who I saw but there seems such consistency with the professionalism of stylists I’m happy with whoever!

Alex was amazing! She talked everything thing through and made me incredibly welcome and involved. She spoke so well to everyone of her colleagues and did little xtra things for me. E.g. multiple coffees, taking me outside to see my colour in daylight, checking on me not just my hair.
Each time I've been to the salon I've enjoyed it.

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!
