I have had Frankie as my hairdresser for about 7 years and even after moving area, she is still the only person that I can trust 100% with my hair. I always leave with lovely glossy locks and she does a great colour job!

I just keep on coming back and I am obsessed! April just absolutely smashes it every single time, I am so impressed. I get a cut and colour with April and she often styles my hair too, and every time it’s exactly how I imagined. She works to well to achieve the look and colour you desire, wouldn’t go to anybody else! A true artist!

I’ve seen Joe twice now (and twice with my son) and I don’t see us having our hair cut by anyone else, the cut is flawless and most importantly Joe listened to what we asked for an gave us a better result than we expected. For my son having a cut that is cool/current is really important (and it’s mortifying if it isn’t right), despite barely 3 words of instructions Joe knew what to do and delivered the best cuts he’s had. For me its really important that I can talk honestly about what looks good and doesn’t (for a 40yr bloke) and get Joes opinion. He’s really easy to get along with and we both totally trust him. Thanks Joe

I have my hair done with April and I always leave feeling amazing! She always takes her time to go through an extensive consultation and does my hair exactly how I imagine it to be. I will never go to anyone else to beautify my thick hair!! April deserves every bit of credit for her hard work and talent. The assistants are friendly, welcoming and helpful to April and it is an all round lovely salon which makes the experience so much more relaxing.
