I went in today for a basic cut and colour, and Sam suggested a different shade, and encouraged me to have a bob. I haven’t had my hair cut short for 20 years.. She was so confident it would suit me, and my gosh, was she right! I walked out of the Salon feeling a million dollars- my whole style has been uplifted. I’m so pleased I took her advice and went for the chop! And the colour is STUNNING. Thank you Sam

Very new to the area I was looking for a stylist and salon that met all my needs , after all your hair is your crowning glory , WOO in Thorpe Bay was recommended by so many , and I have to say from the moment I walked in to when I left it was such a fantastic experience , I
Was made to feel so welcome , my stylist Sarah discussed what I wanted and she just got my hair , she gave me some ideas without being over imposing , to say I was happy with my cut and colour would be a understatement, I have already booked in my next appointment , Woo definitely Wowed me , I’d definitely recommend x

Woo hair is brilliant, Cat is an expert when it comes to colour and cuts. Brilliant service and care throughout. I absolutely recommend going here. I have curly hair which is a nightmare to brush and care for but since going to Woo hair for many years now, my hair is more conditioned and tamer than ever! Even after many colours!! The atmosphere is great and everyone is so friendly. Thank you Woo!!
