Never felt so looked after over the past 6 months. Adam managed to fix my blonde mess and has turned me into a platinum queen. He always delivers, never overlapping, or leaving bands. I have a super sensitive scalp and he’s always been conscious to keep it healthy. Gutted that I’m relocated so can’t see him regularly anymore, but will be making an effort to come back when I can!

Shelly first cut my hair just before Christmas. I have been growing a lockdown crew cut out and I’m now at the stage where I have a style. The cut was so good that three months on it was still looking really good but just a bit longer.
I got it cut yesterday for the second time and she really took time to discuss what my expectations were.
Shelly is one if not thee best hairdresser I have had. It’s her attention to detail ( literally not a hair out of place ) she is meticulous to get you the style that not only suites you but is manageable for lifestyle.
I was at a party last night and everyone was complementing me on my new new do.
