I had a great overall experience. I don’t have hair cuts often and this was a random pick for me. The salon experience was overall pleasing and LInzie did a lovely Bob cut doo. Thanks.

I had my curly hair cut and coloured by Katrine for the 1st time today. Katrine was easy to talk to and made me feel at ease. She really did a fabulous job of my hair - lots of hairdressers are worried about cutting and colouring curly hair - but Katrine was wonderful.
As always, HG is a really warm and welcoming salon.
I highly recommend!

Once again Alison worked her magic and now I feel much better.
I am prone to changing my mind from time to time but each request I make is no problem at the Head Gardener, and tbh no surprise to Alison.
But again, the colour is just lovely and Alison completely takes on board the problems I have with my fine frizzy hair. The staff are friendly, welcoming and happy to see you. It really is a pleasure to visit the Head Gardener and know you can rely on quality service and great results. I Highly recommend this salon, it's the best.

I was particularly impressed when he had one of the young juniors help him, and explained to her the drying techniques, Cameron is going to go far in this industry. Another wonderful stylist from the HG stable…. Proud to be a client!
