Amazing service

Sam

From consultation to chair massage, conversation to cutting, blow dry to style - I was thoroughly pleased. A fantastic, calming and fun hair cutting experience with the lovely Claire. She appreciated my hair (and personal hair style quirks), and gave me a wonderful service, from the moment I walked through the door. Thanks so much Claire! See you soon 💜

Excellent service and friendly staff! They make you feel welcome as you walk through the door and become part of the salon community. I get my nails done regularly with Mandy and she takes time and effort into her work, along with all the other girls. Always leave happy with new fresh nails, with a bit of glitter of course! Definitely recommend a trip to Saramanda1

Carla always makes me feel spoilt with the care and attention she gives throughout my appointments. I have been seeing her for waxing and massage for several years, following her as she has changed salons, because I trust her implicitly with bikini line waxing especially because I have had bad reactions in the past. To finish my appointments with a massage when Carla goes makes the experience spa-like means I leave feeling relaxed.

Saramanda1 is brilliant, wouldn't go anywhere else to get my nails done! I originally went to Mandy with awful weak nails after having Acrylics done somewhere else and she was so lovely and helpful! Within weeks my nails were so much stronger and in great condition. They will also do any design you like with soooo many colours to pick from. All the staff are amazing and friendly - look forward to going there every time. 10 out of 10, highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

I put the previous review on here below (CAT ) due to being upset as felt I was not being heard . However this has now been resolved and dealt with properly by the manager who was lovely understanding , courteous , compassionate.
Good communication is key to stop people becoming upset .
I will attend this salon again as they have now listened, addressed the concern and understood.

Thank you ?

This hairdressers does not listen properly! Requested hair be cut to shoulders and layered through , which was not done. Charged £90.00 for my hair to look the same !
Bought this to managers attention ( which I never normally do as hate a fuss or to complain) manager responded at first and then just ignored me . ....
A colleague had already advised me the same happened to her , however I chose to have faith and still get my hair cut as wished to have my own experience and support my local hairdressers.
Lovely clean salon but not good customer service.
Unfortunately much as I wished to support my local hairdressers.
I will never go back .
Dissatisfied.

First time since lockdown being back in the salon and they were amazing. Everything was cleaned and thought out really thoroughly. The staff all wore visors and all customers wore masks and had to use hand sanitiser. They even have disposable towels and bottled water. Was so lovely to have my hair done again and get to have a chat.

This whole salon is incredible, so much thought and so many personal touches have gone into making it such a friendly place to go. Mandy is an amazing owner but also isn’t afraid to get involved either! She has done my lashes and nails more times than I can count and I’ve never been disappointed!! Carla always goes above abs beyond in all her beauty treatments - she is such a perfectionist -and was born to do this job!! Such a friendly team and you really do feel part of the furniture there. Love you guys! Xx

I have been regularly visiting Saramanda for my hair and beauty appointments for nearly 3 years, and if you want to feel fabulous, this is the team for you.
There is nothing they can’t do; from rainbow hair, to butterfly nails; fresh face masks and everything in between.
Kim is a hair magician, and will always deliver on whatever crazy idea you may have that day.
They are the best.

Kim has been my hairdresser for many years and in my opinion she’s the best hair cutter and colourist around. I used to go to a top designer london salon when I lived in London and she knocks spots off them. You can’t do better than to visit Kim at Saramanda.
