This was my first time at box. Rihanna was amazing, she took so much time talking every thru with me, cutting and styling it and even giving me advice how I could stye it myself. It looks fab and I'm so pleased. It was a lovely experience i felt very pampered and everyone is so friendly. Thank you so much Rhianna.

Peter and Mark have cut my hair since before Box was born! More than 25 years. I would never consider going anywhere else. The level of service and professionalism is second to none as is the outstanding courtesy of all members of staff. I have very curly hair which is not the easiest hair to deal with but deal with it they do. Thank you Box.

Welcomed with a coffee and coat taken. A very relaxing experience nice to shut off from the outside world when walk through the door.
I mainly have Lucy who I would recommend ,good to catch up and she often makes suggestions which always welcome. Also never come out thinking I need to do my hair like I have in the past.

My son has always had long hair but at the age of 8 decided it was time for a change! He found a picture he liked and showed it to Jo Delucia at Box who was able to transform him, she always cuts my husbands hair and has an amazing eye for what will suit you, she is an amazing talent and I trust her implicitly.
There's always a warm welcome at the salon and you always feel amazing coming out of there. I wouldn't go anywhere else

I've been a regular client at Box for a number of years and have never been disappointed.
The team are friendly and professional.
Emma always gets the colour right & understands what look I want to achieve.
My only criticism is that the young girl who washed my hair was very rough, to the point of being painful, the water and shampoo went in my face & ears and her attitude was almost sulky teenager, not the friendly group I am used to experiencing-usually I look forward to a relaxing head rub after having foils in but I was glad when she had finished.
That aside, I would never go anywhere else for my hair cuts or colour.
It usually feels like a pamper every time I visit.
