This was my first visit, and I was enormously impressed. I have fine, frizzy, curly hair (not fair!) and Josh understood how it behaved and how to make the best of it immediately - an understanding which I have found to be rare amongst many stylists elsewhere.
He also listened to what I wanted in terms of style and colour, and why, and gave me advice on how we could achieve those goals over an estimated time frame. And he was also lovely.
All other staff were great too, and the salon and view are the best in Penzance.
I would highly recommend the salon and Josh's abilities to others.

Thanks for a great cut Jade, I was pretty apprehensive about having my hair cut by anyone other than my fabulous stylist in London who had cut my hair for the past 20 years... so I’m so happy to have found someone great down here in my new home town. It’s pretty sweet looking at the sea while you get a cut too!

Just got back from another lovely hair pampering session at Hunter and Walsh. Great venue, chilled pleasant atmosphere (even though it was really busy) and fantastic team of professional stylists and assistants. It's not just about having your hair done, it's the whole experience from walking in the door to leaving. Eloise has been my stylist for about 5 years now and she's easily the best I've ever had. She really listens and has taken the time to understand my frizzy thick hair and what works best. Can't wait to go back again soon
