Hi

I have been going to Arcana for years now to get my hair done and also beauty treatments. Debbie runs a great salon and all the staff are really friendly and helpful.

I have had a fantastic haircut by Danielle today and last week I had a great Indian head massage and facial by Sophie.

I can highly recommend Arcana and the team.

Thanks guys.

The girls and boys at Arcana are amazing. These guys actually care about their customers, listening to what people want and making sure everyone is happy. You won't feel like a number like in most other places. You leave with the exact colour and cut you want and some lovely soft, shiny hair. PS: Baileys Hot Chocolate?! Yes please!

My first ever experience of getting my hair cut at a salon and I was impossibly nervous.
The whole experience was so easy and stress free.
Booked online via Facebook.
Went in for an initial consultation where we looked at different styles and decided on what I would go for.
Absolutely pampered from start to finish- I was astounded at the results: it didn't look like my hair!
