I've been been going to the chapel (hairdressers not church:) ) considerably better - for about six months now after getting frustrated with hairdressers not listening to what I really want in a good haircut. Sean is a breath of fresh air! Always listens to me and is an excellent hairdresser. I have not been disappointed with a haircut from him. Great space, nice oasis and so glad I found this place

Great haircut

What can I say but that Sean is a wizard! First time I have left a hairdresser without crying. I am of the elderly generation with thin, uninspiring hair and very few hairdresser visits over my lifetime, so I was full of trepidation. However, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff friendly and the place spacious, calm and unintimidating. Sean immediately put me at ease and listened to me whilst offering total honesty about what was achievable. He is an inspiring, considerate and consummate expert, and I felt safe in his hands. I also appreciate the fact they discounted me due to an initial rescheduling but also on the 2nd visit where I just wanted help with styling. Sean was so kind and generous with his time and advice and, having come in with long thin weak hair, I left with an unexpected cute bob. Very happy and will recommend to all my friends who DO regularly visit hairdressers but are always complaining!
