I had an appointment with Holly this morning for a restyle. I left feeling on top of the world with how she cut and styled my hair. Absolutely exactly what I asked for. She is clearly very talented. I'll definitely be rebooking with Holly. Its a lovely salon, nice and relaxed.

Nicola did my hair today and it was just lovely. i was a victim of black box dye and could not escape the horrible red banding all over my hair. nicola got rid of all the red and gave me a beautiful balayage and styled/cut my hair in the exact way i wanted her too. she was just lovely to me and made me feel like a queen! so worth the price and i now have the exact hair i’ve wanted for years. thank you nic xx

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 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!

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 !!
