I would definitely recommend. The service was good and the stylist Sam gave me the exact restyle i asked for. The main thing i liked about it most was that they concentrated 100% on what they were doing and there wasn't that unnecessary/forced "chit chat". I will definitely be going back.

Went to Arcaca on the recommendation of a friend, after a couple of very poor cuts at my usual salon. Jane spent time talking to me about what I wanted, what I was unhappy about, and examined my hair carefully.
She cut my hair really carefully, talking through what she was doing with me and a trainee who was observing. I felt confident in her work and reassured that I was in safe hands. The result is just what I wanted and I'll definitely return, thank you Jane!
