Martyn was my stylist today.... the man did good! After attempting to cut my own hair dying lockdown, he took me
out of the scarecrow stage and bought my hair to a whole new level, with layers and a fringe. My hair feels and looks amazing!

Had my hair refreshed by Nadine on Friday and I am so pleased with the outcome after having not had my hair coloured since Feb. Nadine is amazing at what she does and I appreciate more than ever now the hard work and dedication she and others put into hairdressing. Highly recommend Nadine and Strangeways in general.

I was Nadine’s first client on the day of re-opening. It was great to be back but I was a little nervous. However, as soon as I arrived I was made to feel safe. My temperature was taken on arrival and I was seated in a really good distance from anyone else. There were only a few clients though the morning. All of us wearing masks and all the staff wearing face shields. Plenty of antibacterial gels everywhere. I felt safe and considering I was there almost 4 hours, all compliance was adhered to at all times.
Nadine as usual did an amazing job on my hair which is a challenge in itself having hair that is hard to work with!

Love Strangeways. Always a positive experience from the moment I walk through the door every week to the moment I walk out again. Staff, ambience, products, cleanliness.....all positives. I will SO miss my visits(so will my hair:/) now the salon has to close due to the virus. Hopefully it won't be too long before normal service is resumed and I can get my weekly Strangeways experience.

I usually switch from one hairdresser to another regularly. Since coming to Strangeways I’ve stuck with them. Everyone is very friendly and I’m always well looked after. . Sam cuts my hair and he is incredible. I’ve never been disappointed. He Is very professional but makes you feel like you’re having a catch up with a friend. I know I’m in safe hands with him.
