So, after admiring amazing hair from a lovely girl who came into my work, I learnt about Sam as she’d just left Strangeways and so I chanced a next day appointment and sure enough Sam was happy to accommodate me.
I only wanted a trim as I recently cut it all off short and just wanted to mantain keeping it healthy and Sam completely did what I asked and made me look fabulous with a little tustle curl thrown in to add some sass.
Well, this must have worked as 5 minutes after leaving the salon I had a text from the ex who’d said he’s just driven passed me and how good I looked. Good enough for me ha ha! High five that! Thank you guys, everyone was super lovely at Strangeways xx

I was very apprehensive & nervous about attending the salon, due to being an older lady, however Joe was absolutely fantastic. He was so warm, kind, professional & really listened to my hair probs. He advised me and talked me through what he thought would work best and I love it. Very excited about having the colour done in a couple of weeks too. Thank you Joe for being a style wizard.
