Love my cut and result however I'm confused on the price. I had a cut and style which with top style on the website says £49 but I was charged £55. I did question this at the time but was told it's £55 for a restyle, this is no where on the price list and made me feel uncomfortable. I am happy to pay for the service but there should be transparency around cost.

I had no prior knowledge of the salon at all and had visited on the off chance to ask advice. Soo… my appointment was made for the next day with Kelsey and I’d asked that she advise and talk through with me before starting. She took time to chat with me and ask for my wants, needs and hair habits before sharing her professional thoughts and ideas. These were explained thoroughly and I took them on wholly putting my head in her hands.
I’m absolutely delighted with the result! I dare say, I shan’t be able to replicate the finish but I’m happy that the lovely cut will help carry me through until my next visit. And I shall be back! Thank you Kelsey and UBU.
PS Nice strong coffee too! 😉

First time visiting the salon today and I am so pleased that I went. I had a great experience with the lovely Penny. She was so friendly and understood exactly what I wanted. I’m so happy with my hair cut and the colours she recommended. I’ve had lots of compliments on my hair today, thank you Penny. The other staff were very friendly too which gave the salon a nice atmosphere to be in. Will definitely be booking again.

I have very thick & long hair, so whenever I have my hair styled in a salon, it never lasts more than an hour, especially when it’s curled. Nicola styled my hair exactly how I wanted it, and I can’t believe the curls haven’t dropped at all. She is a hair magician, and I will certainly be returning! Thank you so much

In a dilemma, forgotten to book appointment 🙄 gave mid afternoon call to enquire on availability of an appointment. Great news, appointment at time requested. Easy parking outside, smiling friendly staff on entering salon. Quick chat about styling required and off to the chair. Stylist made conversation and made a nervous granddaughter feel very much at ease. Well presented salon, good products, very clean. Great hair cut, happy customer 👍

I had another cut and colour with Holly today and am very pleased with the result. She did exactly what I asked for (a natural looking colour) and there was no pressure to go for a look I wasn’t comfortable with - which isn’t the case in other local salons. The salon is also lovely and clean (which is also not the case in some other local salons - I’ve tried a few!). Thank you Holly!
