For me it’s all about the cut !
Freya cuts my hair really well ( I love it short ) , and on this occasion I appreciated how much attention was given to distancing and hand washing etc.
Left extremely pleased - sadly , now all closed -for the moment ...

I have just relocated to Cornwall from Surrey and was dreading having to change my hairdresser. I have now been to Jade three times and I think that she and the whole H&W team are fabulous. I am looked after in every way and Jade is a very talented lady. She cuts/colours/highlights my hair perfectly and had a lovely personality to go with it. My visits have been so pleasurable and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. Thank you Jade!

I've been going to Hunter Walsh for many years and Nadine has been my stylist. She cuts my hair beautifully, although I had Eloise recently and she did a good job too. The staff are always friendly, the salon is in a superb position overlooking the harbour and the decor is quiet and stylish. It's always clean and light and airy. I would recommend it to anyone.

I went to Hunter Walsh on a freezing cold and rainy day for a very badly needed re-style and highlights. I looked like I had a mushroom on my head! Now, after a few hours of lovely pampering, and thanks to the exceptionally talented Vivienne, I hVe the perfect style. I no longer resemble a fungi but. I like to think, I'm a vibrant blonde fungirl!

Had a fantastic cut by Brydie, as I am now embracing my grey after many years of colouring, she has finished it off with a glossing toner, and, that together with some Kevin Murphy products my hair is now in brilliant shiny condition. If you don’t live locally like me, it’s only a very short walk to the bus and train station, and the sea view is lovely while you’re having your hair done.

Fantastic colour , the new colours are so gentle and my hair is so soft after washing , and no scrubbing of my hairline needed to remove that stubborn hair dye . The colour is lovely and is very natural , it does take a lot longer to wash out at the sink as has more oils , but small price to pay as feels great.
Freya is so so knowledgable and takes time to listen to what you want to achieve giving great advice , Freya knows her stuff and is very focused and professional.
The service at Hunter&Walsh is second to none and it is always a relaxing experience when visiting .
