Fantastic colour and cut as always. Nadine is amazing and knows exactly what style suits me. The only downside is my husband won’t leave me alone because he loves my new hair. ?
Nadine has been doing my hair for many years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Best salon I’ve been to! Staff was kind and welcoming and the atmosphere was a joy. My stylist was delayed so they Ben gave me a call in advance to let me know and then gave me a free treatment and a more senior stylist to compensate for any inconvenience! My cut was great and I didn’t want to leave I was having such a nice time.
