Unsure about my experience, the overall colour of my hair is nice but patch. The front of my hair is over process as Rhysn put the bleach on then Taylor took so long to put the colour on in between it left me feeling patch. I only had my hair done on Saturday and it looks like it’s already grown out. Having my hair was not the normal relaxing experience I would expect when going to a hair dresses. The water was either too hot or too cold. I got extremely wet and the towels used on my shoulder were wet and smelly. I was in the salon from 9.30-1.30 without even being offered a drink of water.
I did rebook but once getting home and seeing my hair, I would not return.

Have been going to Sarah’s salon for over two years and it’s always a pleasant experience.Sarah is such a professional and this shows in her care of each customer.Sarah is so knowledgeable about skincare and this is reflected in her facials which are individualised for each customer.Best in the business .She has made me look ten years younger !
