Professional helpful service from the minute you walk into this salon. I visited Coleshill and was greeted by the receptionist Angela who was so friendly she offered me a drink while I waited no more than 5 minutes. Emma
who did my nails was both friendly and professional as she offered me advise on colours, shapes and also aftercare without the hard sell! Thank you to you lovely ladies for a very relaxed pleasant visit The salon itself is very welcoming clean, bright and airy space with treatment rooms at the back, all of which are kept to a very high standard.
I even watched Laura one of the members of staff go outside to help a customer into the salon that had arrived with a walking frame fabulous service...well done! I will be returning in 2 weeks to do it all again!

Even though I went late (19:15) the service was still fantastic. The effort put in was 110% so pleased with my nails. Thank you.

I've never been a big fan of going to the hairdressers and have never EVER been happy with a hair cut straight away but that all changed today with Marie . She was very understanding and listened to what I wanted and delivered it 100% in a very friendly and professional way. I loved my hair as soon as she had finished and don't feel the need to have to get used to it to like it . I will definitely be coming back to see Marie time and time again . DO NOT LET HER GO !!!!
