Iā€™ve been to various hairdressers over the years and this is the only establishment that has made me feel truly comfortable from the offset. Yes, the new site may be a tad smaller than the previous one, but itā€™s a lovely chilled, relaxing space. Iā€™m in safe hands with Gary as he always knows exactly what to do with my hair when I donā€™t. As an added bonus the chat and sense of humour are pretty good too.

Gary and Claire were very friendly and put my 4 year old daughter at ease quickly. The salon was calm which also helped. Gary tidied up her hair after a friend had cut her hair whilst playing hairdressers. I'm very grateful. We look forward to returning when she has more hair for him to work with. :-)

Such a lovely man, who put me at ease with his confidence and kind manner. He made my time in the salon a delight with wonderful conversation and a beautiful result. Iā€™ll definitely be back.

Iā€™m a new client who came across the salon given its new location - I was delighted to be seen for a patch test and appointment all within a couple of days. A relaxing morning in the salon for a full head of colour and cut with Claire. She explained and gave me choice with the colour, cut carefully and even finished with a lovely blow dry and curl! Will certainly be back.
