Also had a wonderful head massage with shampooing. Sorry, don't know the young lady's name!
Staff attentive, offering drinks and checking on me several times.

One of my kids is autistic he always refuses to go to the hairdresser but at HG they did everything possible with their kindness and professionalism. After years and for very first time he got his hair done by a professional.

We defo will go back and highly recommend the Head Gardener.

I have been going to the Head Gardner for 30 years and i do not live in Inverness, which says something in itself. Alison came into the salon especially to do my hair after I cancelled my December appointment due to being stuck down south due to the weather conditions. I am always delighted by my cut and colour ... Alison is a genius at colouring and has passed her knowledge on to her other staff ... I wouldn't trust another salon to do it for me. As always everyone is friendly and helpful and I had the best head massage ever. A pleasure as always.

Today the salon was very busy but still the service was second to none. Welcome on arrival and offered coffee, lovely chat with several members of staff.....always nice to be welcomed back. Colour and cut was as expected...first class with the colour adapted to suit me specially. Alison always cuts my hair so well and people often compliment me and ask where I get it done.
Yet again I left the salon walking on air, a much needed boost today. Thankyou, till the next time team HG.
