First time I have been to bravo, the team are the most friendly and warm welcoming! They helped me get the right style and colour, constantly making sure I had a drink and checking if the treatment I was getting was ok which is lovely then being left alone. The atmosphire was so relaxing and everyone was having a laugh!

I have just had a lovely first visit and can't thank both Julia and Aiden enough for not only their hairdressing skills but also for their kindness whilst I am feeling fragile! Wonderful friendly service! It is very refreshing to visit a salon that is so relaxed but professional at the same time :-)

Thanks Phil- sorry just had to be honest as I normally love getting my haircut there! It's probably unfair to compare my experiences with different stylists and I am pleased with the cut- it was just a let down on the whole experience compared to all my other visits and that's ndt directly aimed at Amelia.

I thought the cut was ok but I didn't feel how I usually feel leaving the salon. Usually the hairdressers have had- Julia and Charlie are super chatty and I always feel really confident with what they do to my hair. I felt like ****** wasn't very warm and asked me what I thought quite a lot which made me nervous about ethe cut. I do like but I didn't leave feeling a million dollars as usual. There was a funny smell by the basin and I had to wait a while to get my haircut. Overall it was an uncomfortable experience even though the cut was ok and I think I need to look for another hairdressers as it is not the same as it used to be.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your experience with us today. We work very hard to ensure the highest standards of service across the board and it is upsetting to read a review like yours. I will discuss your review with Amelia next week and I am sure she will be equally upset as I know she puts a lot of effort into doing the best possible job she can.

I have not had the chance to discuss this with Amelia yet, but in her defence I would point out that she is a full two grades below Julia and a Graduate Stylist, so I think she is right to check your thoughts about what she is doing. Her confidence will build over time, but it is also important that we have a range of personalities in the salon: not everyone wants a loud stylist or a lot of chat. In any salon it is probably best to book ahead for your favourite stylists as you rather limited your options by booking on the day.

I can only apologise for the funny smell by the basins which I will investigate. This is not something we have had problems with
