Nadine has been cutting and colouring my hair for over 10 years now and I have always loved the results. Nadine takes the time to get to know all her clients and understands their likes and dislikes. Whilst I don’t go for bold cuts or colours, Nadine always comes up with subtle changes and each visit just feels like a catch up with a friend.

Had an amazing cut and balayage colour with Nadine - Nadine is so great, I wouldn't want anyone else to cut my hair! She always creates such a perfect, blunt cut, which I always come out loving more and more everytime I look at it, and has created such a beautiful balayage for me as well. She's such a talented and lovely lady! Thank you so much Nadine, love my hair!! x

I have been going to pru for the last 7 years and she never fails to sort my hair out when I have left it a bit too long (especially over lockdown!) amazing cut and managed to get my hair lighter without damaging my hair which I am growing. The salon was clean and PPE was worn at all times. Felt very comfortable and safe during these strange times.

Today was my very first time in the salon, I had Danielle do a full head of highlights and a cut on me. She is literally amazing!! After not having my hair done for months she got the colour absolutely perfect. The staff were so lovely and friendly and made me feel so welcome. They also had all the correct PPE on aswell as myself wearing a mask. Would 100% recommend Danielle and the salon.

Excellent service and duty of care for clients. Staff very good with cleaning and making sure everyone was in safe environment. Although only half of the staff are allowed in at once, there is still a happy bubbly atmosphere and all stylists and reception very welcoming and accommodating. Rachel is fabulous, she has magic powers turning me from drab to fab. Will never go anywhere else. X
