It’s nice to always be asked how I want my hair styled, even though I usually say … “Well, you choose”! and whether it ends up straight or curly, it always looks lovely. Good to see all the girls busy again washing, cutting or blow drying.

Having only recently moved to Torpoint, I was looking for a hairdresser and luckily I chose this one, from the moment I entered the salon I was greeted by such friendly staff who made me so welcome. Chloe was superb and so professional when washing my hair and in every respect. Amanda cut my hair and I love my cut. She asked me what I wanted and I asked for her advice and I’m so glad I did because she cut my hair and what a difference she’s made. I’m so grateful and I’m booked in again in 6 weeks. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this salon to anyone. The whole experience from start to finish was outstanding. Thank you ladies.

Amazing again, Jaz is an absolute perfectionist and really knows her stuff - and when she gets a curve ball from me Mandy (the boss) is there to support. The service, treatment and professionalism is second to none not only from Jaz but the whole team. Its an absolute delight to come in and be pampered. And I have to be honest I really need to get Jaz's autograph now because that girl is going places!!! All in all the entire team are amazing, the boss is soooo knowledgeable and a terrific trainer and mentor and supports her team unconditionally. I just need many more excuses to go in. They're fab xx
