Adam cut both of my young boys hair with ease, proficiency and skill. Neither of them like getting their hair cut, but Adam engaged with them throughout and didn't faff!! The lollypop at the end helped as well i think ????

They did a very bad job of my colour, followed by two failed attempts at correction - then told me that if I give them a bad review they will sue me for slander. Enough said, I think.

Big achievement in a small town

Aruba offers the kind of skill and attention you would struggle to find at a major name in a large city. The meet-and-greet is faultless. The cutting (by Adam on this occasion) was fast and exactly as required. Plus, there is scope for friendly small-town chat with other customers if you need to wait.

Jacob had good hair cut with Adam for the first time yesterday. Adam was a star, he listened to exactly what Jacob wanted and pulled it off. One very happy 6 year old! It was lovely to be able to sit back and enjoy a quiet half an hour in the saloon, which is finished beautifully. Really appreciated the air con too! We'll be back.

Cut and colour

Delighted with the cut and colour.... the salon is very swish and the stylist was lovely. I hane fine hair which can be difficult to style. She did an excellent job. You can also phone them on a Monday which is a bonus s I work shifts.
I did feel a bit cheated by having to pay an extra £2.50 for the coffee on top of the already costly ( but very good) haircut and colour. The complimentary coffe was too strong and it was kind that they offered me another but I wasn’t told of the cost which on balance I feel is cheeky...

I phoned up in the chance of getting in the same day and was acommodated with an appointment. I searched the night before for a hairdresser's, it my first choice and I'm so glad I phoned. The salon and staff are wonderful and my cut was beautiful. I have very short hair and it was textured to perfection and walked out feeling very classy and pampered not to mention relaxed.
Kelly who cut my hair was extremely pleasant and kind and I had complete confidence in her skills and enjoyed her company whilst sat in the chair. The salon itself is spotless and very modern without being ridiculously pricey. I was more than satisfied with the cost and even more delighted with the result.
Thank you very much indeed. I certainly shall be returning.

Lovely salon. Great location. Reasonable prices. Excellent hairdresser. Needed desperately for a haircut whilst on holiday and took a chance, but so glad I did. I had done my research on areas for a decent hairdresser, and this one came up as recommended. Very rare I get a hairdresser that can cut, style and dry perfectly, so went away a very happy customer. Next time I'm in Cornwall I will definitely be going back ????
