I’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.

I would recommend this salon to anyone looking for fantastic hair that you love ❤️ . Brilliant staff that really listen and care . And that you leave the salon feeling like a million dollars . I would not go any where else I am a loyal customer who has compliments about her hair everywhere I go and that is thanks to the fabulous talent of the stylist . I recommend you find out for yourself

First visit since business had changed hands. The salon had had a slight makeover, but was still recognisable. Stacie was helpful and professional- talked enough, but not too much. I was satisfied with the results. Price significantly higher than under the previous owners, so will have to reflect on that- but it was made clear to me when I booked.

I can’t thank Luke enough he is amazing at what he does .. my hair was looking quite dull and dry partly to do with hormonal changes he came up with the idea of putting some brighter highlights around my face .. also advised me on managing the dryness .. he also applied a conditioner to reduce the dryness . End result .. loved it so much .. I have been going to Luke over 4 years now and would highly recommend him. The whole team are amazing .
