I’ve been a customer at Strangeways for a few years now and yesterday I decided to go for the big chop.

My stylist Sam done a fab job and I wouldn’t have taken the leap unless I had the faith in him that I do.

All the staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Regular customer, nothing but praise for this salon. All the staff are so friendly and professional. I’ve had colour, cut and extensions in the past and I cannot fault Strangeways. This time, Rachel coloured my hair wonderfully, and Danielle did a great job of thickening and volumising my fine hair with a cut. Thanks guys!

Quickest haircut I’ve ever had. Didn’t feel the value this time. Worst cut I’ve had which is not the norm. I’m not a frequent visitor, probably 2/3 times a year, but still expect quality with the prices. Have been using you for over 10 years

I always get a friendly and professional service from the minute I walk through the door from all staff. I consistently get the best hair cut I’ve ever had with Martyn and great colour with Hannah. They never take your custom for granted no matter how long you have been going there. 5 stars every tine, I cannot praise them enough.
