Kerry was lovely, right from the outset she explained how she would cut my hair, asked me questions about what I would like and what did I want from the haircut. She got it just right and I’m very pleased with it and how it looks. Already been told it makes me look younger! So good result thank you Kerry see you in April. ??

First time at Medusa Hanover St. and what a great experience from start to finish. Consultation 2 days before to plan colouring and style then on the day further discussions of the plan of action with Paul; so I felt really comfortable and confident I was with the right stylist for me. Really nice guy, easy to communicate with. Colouring was a big change for me; from very dark with chunks for whities coming in to multi tone highlights to lighten, give movement and direction. Once colouring complete time for my cut which I’m VERY pleased with; precision cutting with minimal loss of length which sits well and will grow out nicely. So refreshing to leave a salon and not look like I’m off to a wedding!! I can’t bear that. Paul read my personality, got my drift and delivered a top rung cut and colour. Bailey who assisted Paul was also super sharp, knew exactly what she was doing and was really nice person. I traveled 200+ miles for this appointment and I’ll do it again in a few months time because it was worth it!
