An appointment with the team at Janet Best Hair Design is like spending the afternoon with family. I love the chance to catch up with how everyone is doing, it’s part of the experience adding to the pleasure of the visit.
And of course you come out feeling great! I got a fresh haircut and restyle from Charlotte along with a much needed re-colour and the benefit of great advice from Alice.
Thank you again ladies, the best service as always. Until next time xx

Can’t thank Leah enough for her advice on products. I’d changed colour from years of being a platinum blonde to a dark blonde and my hair was looking lack lustre. The colour save shampoo and conditioner has been an absolute game changer. Backed up by a leave in repair spray I can’t believe the difference it’s made.
A fabulous trim to remove dead ends with Alice and I feel like a new woman.
Salon of choice for the last decade and defo the next… x

My hair always perfect thank you. I would like to say a word about the shampoo girl. She is new, but she knows how to shampoo and give you a really good massage at the end of your shampoo. Everything says that Janet’s Hairdressers is the right place to be.
