First time visiting

I came to this hairdressers for the first time recently on the off chance they could correct a bad haircut I had elsewhere. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a friendly young women, I explained what had happened and she said one of the hairdressers would be able to work her magic there and then. I was offered tea or coffee and shown to a chair.
A very experienced hairdresser asked what style I would like and she ran through step by step what she would do. She made me feel so relaxed and the atmosphere in the salon was lovely.
The hair cut she gave me was just what I wanted, she had done an amazing job, I couldn't thank her and the other staff enough. I didn't hesitate to make another appointment.
Highly recommended salon with very friendly and talented staff.

Disappointing

Booked over the phone explained it was a cut/restyle needed, that it needs to be someone who can do thick hair, asked if I wanted it shampooed, no I’d shampoo before coming in but dried/styled, yes.
Arrived on time, waited 10 mins, not a problem but I soon realised that 10 mins had to be made up some where and that was going to be me.
Showed the stylist Millie a photo of what I would like, asked her opinion if it was doable, bob length with some layers and texturising to take the weight out and give movement, also a sloping side fringe, yes to all.
The cut was rushed, she then said the fringe wouldn’t work with the parting where it was, the parting could have been moved, I often change it but she didn’t even offer this option. Minimum texturising no real shaping. I was quickly shown the back view in the mirror and very surprised to be told I wasn’t booked for it to be dried/styled. Paid plus a small tip, the tip was for her chat/friendliness not the cut.
The overall cut when I’d dried it was a ‘blobby’ bob like a wedge. A predated style bob. Any good stylist will know that cut is ok for fine hair but not thick hair. Had it been dried in the salon Millie could have seen this and continued to cut some more to achieve the desired effect. I’m assuming the person who made the appt misheard me?
Thankfully I’m capable of cutting my own hair and did so to get the style she failed to achieve. I even achieved the side fringe. If I can do that on my own hair how can a stylist not. Do they only train on one hair type? I always feel thick hair is an inconvenience to stylists as it takes too much of their time.
I went to a salon on this occasion as a treat and thought it would be better than I can do myself (ironic) as I wanted it restyled for my sons wedding.
The only salon that has ever cut my hair and achieved the requested style is Toni & Guy … wish i’d gone there this time, will do in future.

Managed to get a last minute booking on the same day which was amazing. Friendly welcome upon arrival and the salon itself is a lovely environment to be in and very clean. Hayley was super lovely as well as very professional and listened to exactly what I wanted as I went for quite a big change. She made sure I was happy with the process and the results as well as chatting and making me feel comfortable throughout. Thank you :)

Through no fault of my own I had to cancel this appointment on the day because of pain and injury to my foot, and since I don’t drive I would have had to walk a long way, and they expect me to pay a £20 cancellation fee. I think that is ridiculous and excessive and I think people should be advised to stay away. A small cancellation fee would have been acceptable and I would have still used the service but now I will never use their salon, ever.

I went in for a consult with Sadie a week ago and she filled me with such confidence of my decision to dye my hair with colour for the first time. I went in today and was laughing the whole time while Sadie did an amazing job of my hair! I am absolutely obsessed with it and have found my new regular hair dresser! Can’t thank the team enough for the best care and experience, especially Sadie!
I’ll definitely be back again!

I cannot stop smiling! After lots of googling for hairdressers I bit the bullet and booked a restyle with Sadie at Aruba. I was pretty nervous changing hairdresser but from the moment I walked though the door for my initial consultation I was put at ease. I absolutely love my new locks (apparently they knock 20 years off!) and couldn't have asked for a friendlier, warmer, more experienced hairdresser. Thank you Sadie, you have made my day and my year!

Sadie was lovely, made me laugh throughout the time there. She took time discus what I wanted. Hair cuts great.
Wasnt too keen on sitting in a chair that had someone else's hair all over though and also being phoned the next day for a review. It takes me a couple of washes to see how I feel about a new cut.
Otherwise, friendly staff, no waiting and great haircut. Thanks
