I’ve got long hair and I’m super self conscious when I’ve got short hair. Sue has always managed to cut and style my hair well and to my liking, ensuring it’s not too short but still gets a needed cut. I know I’m in good hands when I get my haircut at Bibas, and it helps calm my nerves knowing that I’ll be happy with the cut before I get it.

I live in Wales and found Bibas by accident in 2007 when I began running a training course nearby three times a year. I have been returning ever since to get my hair coloured and cut. All staff are lovely and entertaining to talk to, but the main reason for returning here for so many years is the quality of the work. I get lots of hair compliments. Any time I ever trust anyone else to do my hair, I regret it! Just had a great colour and cut from Nick today - and a really enjoyable chat too!

I must share with future clients that I don't regret having selected this salon as the 1st one I visited after moving to London. At Bibas I found just what I wanted, a refreshing change in my hair and exceptional service. I was lucky because I had a great time talking with Mark, who always gave me recommendations and tricks to keep up the work we had achieved that day until a next visit. I recommend this team without thinking it twice!

When I arrived at the salon this morning with a number of pictures and the crazy idea to go grey Sue did not bat an eyelid. She took on board all that I said about cutting out my existing colour, adding a sweeping fringe that should be coloured in a jewel colour and together with her colleague Nick worked out how to deliver my request. Five hours later I walked out of the salon on Cloud 9. The cut and colour are very fashionable whilst tailored to my need to be able to walk into the boardroom of a top 100 company and be taken seriously. Thank you Sue Thank you Nick for helping me rediscover a more contempary me
