Had a great cut and colour today with Kevin. He’s clearly very experienced and good at translating what you think you want into something that actually suits your hair. I’ve learned to trust his judgement — he gets what I’m going for and is honest about what will and won’t work. The salon is friendly, relaxed and professional. It’s not intimidating at all. The coffee is good.

She was incredibly attentive and cut and styled my hair perfectly. I was very impressed with the end result. I loved the products that she used and my hair felt really soft and shiny.

Lovely experience and a warm welcome. I was happy with the style and it is how I asked, but after washing my hair I realised it had been thinned rather than layered as I’d asked. My hair now feels broken with wispy ends, and it’s never needed thinning with this style before. I just wish this had been explained or checked with me during the appointment. I’ll know for next time to ask to avoid it.
