Fantastic colour and cut as always. Nadine is amazing and knows exactly what style suits me. The only downside is my husband won’t leave me alone because he loves my new hair. ?
Nadine has been doing my hair for many years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

8 days after having my hair blow dried by Nadine, and despite being out in this grey drizzly weather, swimming in the sea and having my hair flattened under a bike helmet, my hair was still good enough to go "out out"! Thank you, Nadine?

Best salon I’ve been to! Staff was kind and welcoming and the atmosphere was a joy. My stylist was delayed so they Ben gave me a call in advance to let me know and then gave me a free treatment and a more senior stylist to compensate for any inconvenience! My cut was great and I didn’t want to leave I was having such a nice time.

I had a cut and finish with Frankie. The whole experience was amazing. The receptionist was so lovely. Hair wash was great. Frankie was just brilliant. I have hearing loss so I get anxious in load surroundings especially hairdressers and I haven’t been to one in 3 years because of that. Frankie made me feel really comfortable straight away and she picked up from my vibe of being not so chatty and that was great for me. (I really struggle to hear at the best of times , so noisy hairdressers are the worst for me, with added face masks, have just been a nightmare I wasn’t looking forward to). She really understood what I wanted, and cut my hair just how I wanted it. I look forward to my next appointment for the first time in my life and that’s a first for me so well done Frankie and strangeways.
