Freya is a very talented hairdresser and because of this she has recently been promoted to Director level. We do have other senior stylists in the salon that charge what you are used to paying. They would love to look after you. We have a pricing structure that accommodates all budgets. We would love to see you again.

I really enjoy my visits to the salon. From being greeted by the cheerful receptionist to having my hair washed in the massage chair and having my head massaged whilst it’s being conditioned. Freya my stylist is very professional. She always looks gorgeous. I always bring a picture of what I want and Freya has a brilliant talent to replicate it. She explains what she’s going to do each visit. I am deaf and wear hearing aids. She is very deaf aware and looks at me when she speaks to so we can have a normal conversation. I had my hair coloured and then cut. The shade is just perfect as is the cut. I really love it. I felt like a million dollars when I came out of the salon this morning. I saw a friend and she said my hair looks fabulous! I had it done for my upcoming holiday. All the staff are very polite and efficient. They all look so well turned out. The decor is stylish too. I recommend all my friends to Hunter and Walsh. Looking forward to my next visit in 6 weeks time.

Today is exactly what I needed after having a baby 6 months ago...

I’m one of those annoying people who goes to the salon a couple of times a year and never knows what they want, even the lingo is like a foreign language to me!
But Louise really is wonderful and phoned me this morning to talk through what my visit this afternoon would entail - understanding that my time might be limited etc
My long hair has been neglected for the last 6 months, and had been feeling dry and pretty lifeless , but the treatment I’ve had today has left it feeling silky smooth, and the cut is just perfect - as always.

The Salon is beautifully presented, and totally Instagram’able! And the massage reclining chairs at the basins are such a treat.

The whole team are friendly and professional, there’s always a warm welcome and the App is brilliant.
