I wanted a restyle and have been coming to the salon for years! I discussed it with Ellie the last time I was in so on Tuesday she cut my hair exactly how I wanted it!! It looks fab and I’m really really pleased with it! She listened to what I wanted, took notice of my Pinterest page I had saved my ideas on and went for it! I’m super pleased with my new hair and I have had lots of lovely compliments. My husband loves my new cut too.. always a bonus ???? I’m a big arcana fan anyway but as I’m a VIP customer I received 20% off too so it was fab to treat myself in January to a new look with a discount.

I have been to this salon twice now. The first time I had Jane and the second, Jade. Both were really professional, listened to what I was looking for and gave me great cuts. They also advised on what I needed to do to get the style I need. I would definitely be back and recommend this place to others.
