Thanks once again to Nadine for my hairline colour and cut.

Having thick, curly (frizzy!) hair isn’t the easiest and historically hairdressers have always cut too much off but Nadine listens to me and is an expert in curly hair! Her colour match for my hairline is impeccable. She’s been my hairdresser for many years now and I would highly recommend her. Especially if you have curls! ?

The whole team at Strangeways are welcoming and always make time to make you feel looked after & listened to. I’ve been coming to Strangeways since it opened so I think that says a lot! Had a colour with Hannah today which was spot on & a lovely head massage & blow dry with Maya. Walked out feeling more confident & happy, my hair looks sleek & shiny. Thank you!!!

I’ve been coming to this salon since I moved to Leigh nearly 8 years ago and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I usually book my appointments last minute so I have had most of the stylists at one point or another and they are all talented and really friendly. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the prices are really reasonable.

Rachel picked a great colour which really flattered my skin tone. Glad I left it to her. Between her, Sam and Danielle they cut, snip, shave and colour three heads in our family and you know you will always come out really pleased ...and looking younger! ?

It’s a really nice experience going to Strangeways. From the minute you walk in you feel welcomed, everyone is super helpful and can’t do enough for you. I have to give Nadine a special mention as she looks after me and my unruly face fur, but everyone there is first class. Book yourself in, you won’t regret it! The only reason it’s 5 stars from me is that there aren’t 10 to tick.
