I’ve been visiting the salon for many years now and had not had a hair appointment since prior to last lockdown. I can’t praise the girls enough on their amazing talent , listening skills and great personalities. Over last 3 years I’ve had my hair lighted with balayage and felt it was time to go back to my brunette roots. Jo listened to my needs and produced the exact colour I had in my mind. My hair was then cut and styled (with the perfect length bangs) by Jae (apologies if name wrong) I always forget her name and she’s cut my hair several times! Apologies!!
In all I’m so happy with the colour, cut and style of my hair - thank you ladies!!!

Always a friendly warm welcome as you arrive, my hair was washed and conditioned really well, checked that I was comfortable and offered the massage option that the chair has.
Daniel dried and styled my hair exactly as I wanted, without hardly any prompting from me.
I left feeling very pampered, only thing missing was a cup of coffee but that's down to the dreaded Covid.

Cey was absolutely lovely and made my first visit back in the salon in over a year very comfortable. I was so ecstatic with my hair when initially looking in the mirror at the hairdressers and couldn’t stop beaming but once I arrived home and started to properly look at my hair I realised that the back of my hair was about two inches shorter than the front, something that I did not initially see before hand. When my hair is at the back of my head behind my shoulders it all lines up and is even but when all brought round the front there is a noticeable difference that the front portion of my hair is longer and it looks very odd and scraggly at the ends compared to the back of my hair. I wanted my hair to be all one length which is what I asked for and although no layers were put in, I am confused as to why my hair is now different lengths as apposed to all one length. I am absolutely gutted as to have around 3 inches off my hair was a big change anyway and now I will need to get it cut even shorter to even it all out. I absolutely hate leaving a bad review at a time like this because everyone in the hairdressers is so lovely but I am so upset about my hair that I felt that I needed too. Unfortunately I am really unhappy with my hair and it’s knocked my confidence massively.

First time at MOHL and I saw Cey following a bodged cut for a graduated bob the day before with a different hairdresser. Given I didn't have much hair to work with, Cey did an amazing job putting some shape and graduation back into my hair. Cey listened to what I wanted and took her time. She was very professional and gave advice of how we could build more shape into my bob as my hair grows. I'm so happy I went there and will be returning for my bimonthly cuts. Thank you Cey!
