My short hair is very dry now ( turning white). Anna advised me to have a keratin spray treatment. My hair now feels soft and stylish.
I am delighted with the result. ?

Had my hair done by the apprentice

I can't fault Fabia's friendliness or the other members of the salon. My hair looked nice.
The salon is clean and offer nice coffee.
I do have to say though, which I hate moaning, but feel it's necessary to advise other potential customers, they do hard sales, and really do push you to buy their products, I had dry scalp and tried to make me pay £200 for a treatment, which I then went to a doctor and got a prescription which cleared it up in 2 days.
Also online the cost was £25 for highlights or colour and £15 for blow dry. At payment cost me £80, and that was without a cut, and an apprentice training on me. I questioned this and was told because they put a toner on my hair, I wasn't asked if I wanted this, and felt quite embarrassed to question the payment. I won't be returning, due to the hard sales they did and end charge. I also over heard them telling another client she had a dry scalp and was trying to sell her a treatment. It's such ashame as I liked the people and the salon.

Cannot thank enough to Mariastella for the huge transformation she done to my hair! Haven't been coloured for 1 year, with the roots grown till the middle of the length of my hair, and after her advice we decided to do the baby highlights, and the result is incredible. So happy with the transformation. Grazie mille, Mariastella!

I was lucky enough to find Anna & Michele five years ago. I have my hair highlighted, cut and dried regularly and am never disappointed with the result - in fact, having previously disliked visiting hairdressers due to several disasters, I now positively look forward to it!
Michele & Anna always listen, discuss, recommend and are passionate about using their considerable talents to achieve the best result for their clients.
They are not complacent. I am always impressed by the ongoing training, new methods & ideas and they are always fully stocked with great, innovative products.
The salon is contemporary, spotlessly clean and comfortable.
I cannot recommend this caring, family business highly enough.

Michael and Anna are the perfect partnership. They are both friendly and professional. Michael’s knowledge of colour and what suits each person is amazing. He transformed how I look by tweaking my colour and I look healthier and it looks natural! Anna, what can I say?! I recommend Anna to everyone who asks ‘who cuts your hair?’ This happens a lot. Anna really listens to what you want and will make suggestions if you want them. It took me a long time to find Anna, I wish I’d found her sooner!
