Danielle lifted my balayage subtle blonde streaks higher and trimmed the ends, as it was all looking a bit lank and tired when I arrived. The team are friendly (Joe & Sam great guys and the juniors are attentive too). Danielle is a lovely lady who really listened to what I would like my hair to be in the end result. A nice atmosphere with caring staff. Still the best hairdressers in Leigh. Thank you.

Amazing service as always and always go above and beyond. Only pointer is the Saturday girl was new and it showed a little as on the hair wash none of the lower head was washed and or the rest rinsed properly after condition etc. However Sam resolved this instantly, everyone has to learn and he did a perfect job of my hair. I couldn't fault him. I don't live in the area anymore but I trust noone else but Sam with my hair now and will travel back to strangeways for my hair needs. Found my Hairdresser for life! Thank you thank you thank you x

I used to hate going to ANY hairdressers before I tried Strangeways. Danielle listened to what I wanted to achieve and gave me exactly that. For the first time I have a colour I love and a beautiful wavy blow dry. Colour, cut & blow dry simply beautiful, Danielle is a very talented hairdresser. At last it is a pleasure to have my hair done and to go to the hairdressers. Other staff in there are super friendly, great atmosphere, and often see other beautiful hairdo’s going on while my colour takes. Thank you Strangeways and Danielle x

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.
