I didnt know what i wanted when i arrived at the salon, i just wanted my hair to be healthy. I told Clive i would like a warmer colour and left everything up to him. Clive then cut my hair before getting my colour. He took away the long brassy unhealthy hair ( abought 7 inches) and then conferred with the colourist and she got to work on me. I chatted with her for abought two mins, then i promtly went to sleep, i woke up a couple of times to apologise ,but she told me it was fine,then she was finished and took me to wash my hair. Clive then took over and cut and styled my hair, we had a lovely wee chat and i was finished. I looked in the mirror and loved my new hair style, it looked stunning, beautiful colour, perfect cut and not a bit of brassy to be seen, felt silky and healthy and i had watched how Clive dried it so hopefully i can style it myself too. Couldn't be happier with my new look !!!

Had a nice time at Shapes today getting my hair done. From the minute I walked through the door I was seen too. Clive shampooed and shaped my hair into a different cut that I'm very happy with. I was so impressed that I have booked my next appointment with him. will definitely recommend Shapes to family and friends.

Initially was recommended the salon for my two girls, both had extremely long hair. The cuts they had were fabulous. I phoned on the off chance of a same day appointment for me and was not disappointed. Such a relaxing place and I'm extremely pleased won't the high quality cut. Will definitely be coming back for some colour next time. Thank you.

Gabby did a wonderful colour process adding a few copper highlights to my usual blonde which I was delighted with and Cliveโ€™s cut and blow dry was to his usual exceptional standards considering I had a complete change from my usual cut.
