I am on a mission to get my hair as good as it can possibly be. I have a clear vision of how I want it to be. Jess has listened and communicated very well, even took notes, and we are well on track to having some elite hair.

Unhappy with Nova Max Keratin

I am very unhappy with the above treatment I had on Fri 1st May. I was advised by your staff that was an alternative to the Brazilian blowdry I have previously had four times at your salon which I was very happy with, but this treatment is nowhere near the same.
My hair is still very frizzy and the ends of my hair look like they have been singed. I can send you photos of this. For a professional salon to offer a treatment like this surely it should have been tried and tested before using it on a customer and charging £130.00. My hair has also changed colour which is not what I was expecting there should be no bleach involved in this.
This was very disappointing as I had this treatment just before my 60th birthday party but my hair looks like it had been burnt and I am now having to pay for treatments to get rid of the dryness and having the singed ends cut off.
Extremely unhappy customer.

After some time away following a recent bereavement, it felt really special to be back at the hairdresser today.

Becky, my stylist of the past few years, greeted me with a warm hug, a cup of tea, and a chance to catch up on each other’s news — just what I needed.

It was so lovely to be back, and I absolutely love my haircut and blow dry.

Thank you, Becky

I’ve been going to Jess for almost a decade, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair. She’s consistently professional, attentive, and genuinely cares about getting the best result for her clients. What I really appreciate is her confidence in making thoughtful recommendations—especially when it comes to choosing the right hair colour. She always guides me toward options that suit me perfectly, and the results never disappoint. Highly recommend!

Even when we are waiting for the foils, the team are always happy for a chat (if they are not busy). You can sit in silence and relax or have a good old chat and laugh.
