I had a cut and finish with Frankie. The whole experience was amazing. The receptionist was so lovely. Hair wash was great. Frankie was just brilliant. I have hearing loss so I get anxious in load surroundings especially hairdressers and I haven’t been to one in 3 years because of that. Frankie made me feel really comfortable straight away and she picked up from my vibe of being not so chatty and that was great for me. (I really struggle to hear at the best of times , so noisy hairdressers are the worst for me, with added face masks, have just been a nightmare I wasn’t looking forward to). She really understood what I wanted, and cut my hair just how I wanted it. I look forward to my next appointment for the first time in my life and that’s a first for me so well done Frankie and strangeways.

I get a cut and colour with April and she often styles my hair too, and every time it’s exactly how I imagined. She works to well to achieve the look and colour you desire, wouldn’t go to anybody else! A true artist!

I’ve seen Joe twice now (and twice with my son) and I don’t see us having our hair cut by anyone else, the cut is flawless and most importantly Joe listened to what we asked for an gave us a better result than we expected. For my son having a cut that is cool/current is really important (and it’s mortifying if it isn’t right), despite barely 3 words of instructions Joe knew what to do and delivered the best cuts he’s had. For me its really important that I can talk honestly about what looks good and doesn’t (for a 40yr bloke) and get Joes opinion. He’s really easy to get along with and we both totally trust him. Thanks Joe
