My hair is very hard to blow-dry, it's quite curly & frizzy. Over the years i have been to numerous hair salons & always had to rush home to fix my hair before I went anywhere... this is no longer the case! Siobhan did a fantastic job, I left looking & feeling great! I am so happy! Siobhan is fabulous! I will definitely be recommending her to everyone! Thank you so much!

After being made very welcome to the Salon which has a wonderful atmosphere, Kiera discussed with me what I wanted done eg; style, cut, products to use etc.
I had my hair washed which was the most relaxing experience and then Kiera cut my hair with great expertise.
Each step of the whole proceedure was very professional and friendly. I loved the final result. A great experience and I really look forward to my next appointment.

I'm sorry to have say that my hair it too dark and too red. Not what I expected. **** talked me.through the mid lengths and end colour as I wanted something warmer. It turned oubery red and very dark at the root. She and another hairdresser darkened the red but I'm disappointed with the outcome. 4 hours and 139 euro later, I feel to be disappointed is not a good outcome. I would be interested on you views on this.many thanks Lisa

Words to express how amazing my experience meeting Kiera was:
Refreshing - to be able to talk "all things curly" with someone who totally understands curly hair.
Fun
Relaxing
Safe - Kiera, you are such a professional, you know what you are doing and made me feel totally at ease.
My hair felt safe in your hands ?.
Cared for - you made me feel special, as if I was your only client for the day.
Attention to detail - second to none.
I've been singing your praises since and will continue to do so ?.
Full marks to you Kiera.
Thank you so much and I'll see you next time!

Such a beautiful salon with the most professional and friendly staff.

Anita really understood what I wanted and the challenge of having very fine hair. The wash, cut and styling was perfect.

I'm now officially a "curly girl", thanks to Kiera!! I knew I had them, just didn't know HOW to produce them in a 'good' way. My attempts only resulted in frizz and frustration, but Kiera knew exactly how to bring the curls out. I listened attentively on my first visit 8 weeks ago as I learned the process of plopping, squishing, casts and curls :-D I've worn my hair curly each day since! Today I wanted more shape, and help with curling the front and top of my head. Kiera did not fail to deliver on each of these issues, and I came away a very happy client, with a few more tips as well. Thank you very much Kiera, I'll be back.

Claudia cut my 10 year old son’s hair yesterday and she was truly incredible and so very kind. My son has autism and before Claudia came over he wanted to leave. When I told Claudia that he was feeling overwhelmed she moved him to a quieter chair and told him his long hair was cool and was so attentive to him throughout his appointment. He left the salon with a big smile on his face, hot chocolate in hand and with lots of movement in his hair (which he hopes I can achieve again for him!! I can’t :) lol). Thank you so much Claudia for making my little boy feel so happy and comfortable during his appointment -your kindness made such a difference to his day.
