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

Frankie is an amazing hairdresser who I would recommend to everyone. She done a fantastic job transforming my lockdown hair into a beautiful new colour. As someone who has been out very little since March, I was slightly nervous about going out to get my hair done. However Frankie made me feel so comfortable and at ease with her friendliness and constant smile.

After being locked away for months I walked into my appointment with Sam looking like Robinson Crusoe (minus the beard)
Came out looking and feeling like a star.
Sam just always knows what you want and your hair needs. Amazing cut as always and finished off in a beautiful blue colour.. Though you're there for hrs it flies by as Sam makes you feel so welcome and like part of his family. The whole team are so welcoming and friendly. If you've never been here and don't know what you want to do with your hair pop in and see Sam( Or any of the stylists) He'll instantly make you feel comfortable and after a quick chat will know exactly what to do. That's what I did 2 yrs ago and won't go anywhere else now..
