This is my first time back at HAC since moving back to Devon. I had a treatment today (done by Shannon), as well as a cut and blowdry.
I just can't speak highly enough of Sara and the girls that do my husbands and my hair. From the moment you walk in the door to the second you leave, everyone makes you feel cared about. Sara, for me, is just an amazing hairdresser and always does the most fantastic job with my unruly hair. Thank you xx

Having gone to cheap and cheerful salons for the past few years (not knowing this place existed) I actually forgot how nice my hair could look, even just after a wet trim! The service was exceptional and - yes - it costs more than local competition, but you absolutely get what you pay for.
