Visited my usual hairdresser Pru after her return from maternity leave. I wanted something a bit different to usual and she guided me on what would be best, on colour, growing out layers and fringe length. I am so happy with the outcome, the colour is gorgeous and I always get so many compliments! Thank you Pru and welcome back :)

I called into strangeways today after my usual hairdresser let me down last minute. The team was very attentive from the original phone call to the very end, the hair stylist April who did my hair was impeccable. Very informative as to her steps with regards to how I wanted my hair to look and what I was hoping to achieve as a colour & style, I found her services professional and completely understanding as to my needs throughout. I will definitely be returning. Thanks again for fitting me in at short notice. I would highly recommend this hair salon and April as a hair colourist/stylist.
Many thanks Danielle

My daughter hazel had her hair cut today for the first time at strangeways. We are trying a new salon as ours over charges. When she was having her hair cut I was amazing how much blonder in looked. Zoe did a really good job working with my daughter who is 5. Her hair is super silky now! She admired Zoe and loved her hair because of course it was pink. She has said that Zoe is her hair dresser so will be coming back for sure!
