Thanks a lot to Helene at shine for an amazing color and cut. Every time I see Helene I come out with feeling like a million dollar. Helene will always give you a thorough consultation, will discuss what you want to achieve and will tell you if this is realistic or not or what you can expect. Then she works her magic from the colour application to cut, her work is absolutely flawless and sharp. I am always made to feel warmly welcomed and have the same consistent level of service from my first visit to now (been a client for a couple of years now). Well done Shine, keep doing what you are doing.

From the day I walked into Shine I felt welcome and had a wonderful experience, being treated as a guest rather than a customer. You really do feel special, lots of little touches and the team are without exception so friendly and nice. Charlie has done my hair twice now and she has nailed it each time, I love the colour she’s given me and the cut is perfect. Thank you Charlie!

I should add that during covid in particular the team have done a fantastic job with all precautions and they should be incredibly proud.

I was originally recommended this salon by a friend who gets her hair done here and I’ve never looked back.
I always see cat, she is a colour queen, always listens to what you want to achieve and spends time on making it right and suggesting things that might work.
I have been to many colourists and she is a-mazing!
The other girls in the salon are always really friendly and make you feel welcome.
Never had a problem there and would recommend to anyone. Prices are average - high but you get what you pay for!

It was my first visit to the salon as a client (but my daughter and mum are regulars). Really pleased with my cut. Looks so much better. It’s the first time I’d had my hair done since lockdown so I was a bit nervous, but it was a very relaxing experience. Very friendly service. I’ve already booked to go back for a colour!

At the appointment she was welcoming, conscientious and informative, she really took notice of what I needed and wanted, she explained what she was doing throughout and has a very in-depth knowledge of hair and this is reflected In her skill. She is lovely to talk to and very professional, I felt perfectly safe and listened to! We highly recommend! The salon has been done to a high standard to comply with covid rules too.
