First time visiting the salon and was a bit apprehensive as I've been with my previous hairdresser a long time. There was no need for me to worry at all..I had a fantastic experience with Nicky... she really listened to what i wanted and took her time to give me the perfect cut and style.. i couldn't be happier. I'll definitely be a returning customer. Thank you

I really enjoyed my experience at UBU today. Impromptu day off work so decided to get my hair cut (it’s long and long overdue) I had the pleasure of having Sam deal with my many many issues and concerns to do with my hair. She listened, advised and delivered. I’m so happy and grateful to Sam, I feel I look better I also feel better equipped to manage my hair going forward. Thank you Sam and thank you to UBU for the walk in appointment and the discount. A treat and at a fraction of the price. Would highly recommend!

Ryan greeted me and was really lovely.. Penny was with me in no time and took the time to understand what it was that I wanted from my appointment. I was more than happy with the results. It’s the best my hair has looked in a long time. Amazing work & knowledge.
Look forward to my next appointment!

I had a walk in appointment. Cut & blow dry by Holly. After an initial consultation Holly cut & styled my hair as I asked. She explained everything throughout the cut & checked in after she had completed styling.

Holly was friendly & polite and I was very pleased with my hair.

I will definitely be back soon.

Although I wasn’t able to have the highlights and colour I wanted because of condition of my hair my stylist penny explained clearly to me that it would be an ongoing project! She was very friendly and kind - I had roots done and cut/blow dry. Expensive at £99 not really happy with my hair for the cost - nobody noticed I’d even had it done !!

I had my full head of highlights done today by the lovely Penny.Not only she has done an amazing colour blend to precisely suit my taste but I feel that she went above and beyond to be exceptionally professional. By that I mean she made sure I’m at all time aware what she is doing and what is going to happen next , which in my eyes is very helpful if you have to wait at times. So ,thank you Penny , lovely meeting you.
