I have recently moved to the area and was dreading finding a new hair dresser. A friend recommended Ellie and I’m so happy she did!
Ellie is amazing and listened to exactly what I wanted and my hair was even better than what I was hoping for … can’t recommend her enough! The salon is great, really friendly staff and I would highly recommend both Ellie and the salon itself

Went for the first time for hair colouring and a haircut, and I had a truly great experience. Zoe and Katie were both very good, professional, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire appointment. I have thick hair, and even though the salon was busy, Katie never rushed — she took her time cutting and styling it perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend!
