Absolutely love getting my hair done by Craig! I wouldn’t go to anyone else as he makes my hair look amazing every time I visit. All the staff are so friendly and chatty and there is always a great atmosphere in the salon. I will always recommend this salon and Craig in particular to my family and friends

First had a cut & Blow dry with Ellie and I got exactly what I asked for. Professional & Friendly.

I then booked in balliage with Craig Kane after hearing so many reviews and he did not disappoint. Again, very professional and so good at what he does. His banter was also on form.

Can not believe I’ve not been here until now and will be returning. Always have “the fear@ when switching hairdressers and I can honestly say I will not regret it! Thanks again to Ellie and Craig!

Paul made me feel really at ease straight away. He carfefully listened to what I wanted and described cutting methods to achieve this. He recommend a suitable colour, introducing shades I hadn’t considered before.
I was delighted with the end result.
Finally, its taken 2 years to find a good salon/stylist. I’ve already booked my next appointment! Really happy with the whole experience.
